Defund the Left's Propagandists

Stop Forcing Taxpayers to Fund Public Broadcasting

NPR and PBS insist they just report the news with no bias. And it is true that NPR, PBS, et al, do not broadcast government propaganda. (If they did, they wouldn’t be so hard on the Trump administration.)

What they do represent are the views of a particular group—those of the politically correct elite left—whose assumptions frame public affairs programming on public broadcasting.

This group is comprised of a bien pensant coalition of government bureaucrats, academics, entertainers, philanthropists, ethnic group activists, corporate leaders, etc., many of whom control America’s cultural institutions.

This coalition is an updated version of the “managerial elite,” which the political theorist James Burnham warned would come to rule industrial societies. The views of this group almost always favor government control of or involvement in everything from health care to the environment to the media.

They are what contributor Vizigoth refers to as "the C-suite people." You don't have to work long for a big corporation or a government bureaucracy to realize that the bigger the organization, the more aggressively the Peter Principle is applied. With rare exceptions, every managerial-level employee I've encountered outside of small business was a splendid example of Americanus moronicus.

PBS and NPR have been successfully used as vehicles by these people for decades. Just watch any PBS show and you'll see a litany of foundations and organizations which contributed to it. Those are fronts for Big Corporate Money -- the people in cahoots with the politicians, universities and Hollywood, the people who want everything to be run in a nice, efficient corporate manner from the top down. We filthy peasants must be made to stop questioning our betters and do what we're told.

That, by the way, is what all the politicians and Hollywoodites really hate about Trump. You see, he used to be one of them. He was a "player," moving in all the right circles, spreading money about for the various causes. But then an aging Donald Trump -- who had made so much money he had effectively joined the hallowed ranks of the old industrialist barons -- he saw his chance to leave his own legacy by pissing on their heads. All those people who thought they were manipulating him, he turned the tables on them. The more they growl, the louder he laughs and the stronger he pees.

Donald Trump is hated by those people for the same reason they hated Ronald Reagan. Like Reagan, Trump has lived inside the machine. He knows their tricks and he knows where all the secrets are kept... and that terrifies them.
