[quote]I think Trump is playing their game.

I am shocked that VOA is funded by the federal government of the United States. No broadcaster should be funded or supported by the public purse, this includes the BBC.[/quote]

There is no [i]logical [/i]reason why a government cannot fund a media network like Australia's ABC (modeled on the BBC) which has operated for decades and has a management board that is at arm's length from any current government.

The ABC in Oz is still the most trusted & popular broadcaster and is up against the right wing partisan network of TV stations and newspapers operated by Rupert Murdoch.

That's the alternative in Oz especially..Murdoch's right wing claptrap rammed down people's throats.

Jesus H. Christ , did you not take note of the post? For crying out loud I specifically pointed out how China has steamed in the fill the breach.

Do you think this is playtime and not [i]deadly serious?[/i]

Just as The [b]Voice of America[/b] spent decades influencing other nations throughout the world.

Has the entire world gone [b]Maga Mad[/b] insisting there must be a price on every conceivable entity?

Even while the America's greatest ever [b]Welfare Queen[/b] who imitates a drug addict with his crazy movements hoovers up multi $Billions to blow up useless rockets and pontificate like a lunatic that he'll put a million people on Mars..why?.

Why are these batshit crazy [i]boondoggles[/i] of a borderline Nazi acceptable but a radio network that every US government has valued as it spread US influence throughout the world (particular in the old Soviet Union and now Russia) not valued?

You may hate the BBC but you'd miss it if it went.

And it does of course have the wonderful[b]World Service[/b] which I can listen to in Oz and often do via local FM partners.

And I watch and listen to the superb USA [b]PBS- Public Broadcasting Service[/b] (broadcast in Australia on, Heaven help us, a second government funded TV radio network [b]SBS [/b]that specializes in immigrant programs (30% of the population).

Sometimes it helps to listen to sane educated Americans on PBS to realize there are still tens of millions of Yanks who are not Maga Muppets chortling away in their bizarre belief the left are drowning in "librul tears" :laugh:

And what's the alternative? Fox News  :angry:

Green Man	PBS shouldn't get a dime from the public purse. TV and radio are dying out.

But let's be honest, Trump cannot stand anything he cannot control and he (mistakenly) thinks publicly funded media is somehow against him & should be licking his boots when in fact, both PBS and NPR are scrupulous in their by partisan reporting and don't have yapping heads pontificating. It's why I like the outlets..a balanced view.
Green Man	No media outlet should be funded by the public purse. It should be like any business, if you can't find the capital you go bust.

The government take out hundreds of thousands of pounds of ad space in the daily papers every year. Yet, it's used by public money, the legacy media is pretty much dead but it seems to cling on due public money. We don't have a say on how our taxes are used. I don't consent to pay tax but I have no choice. So basically I am getting robbed in broad daylight. Alas Green Man, I am a great fan of George Soros. Did not know he funded Vice which I don't always read but I see no problem. If Rupert Murdoch can dominate with entities like Fox "News' in the US (and roughly 65% of Oz news outlets) why can't leftie Soros fund outlets? ** Indeed I did work for a time for Australia's only leftish main regular newspaper chain (which now also has a rival TV network but leans right..Fairfax Newspapers) and I really quite loathed it and they were terrible payers..once not paying me for 3 months. I also worked for Murdoch's local right wing DailY Telegraph and the best I can say for Murodch is he pays well and always pays on time. I suppose buying loyalty.
