    I can barely even understand how anyone could think PBS is propaganda.

    None of these chuds have ever watched a minute of PBS in their adult lives.

      How many children upvote this nonsense?

      PBS is literally overt propaganda. The amazing thing is how people don’t see it. We’re so immersed in the hegemonic narrative, the droning voice of the state that we can’t recognize the obvious overwhelming bias.

      The most glaring recent example is their complete endorsement of the genocide in Palestine. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

      I guess PBS hasn’t been working then. Maybe it’s their anti-science ideology in favor of capitalism, genocide, etc.

    PBS: Be kind! Learn to read!

    I literally once heard on NPR radio on the way to work that WoW players speaking out against gold farming was a racist act by white men (ironically a sexist/racist assumption about people who play that game, plenty of non-white/non-males who play), because the gold farmers are primarily foreigners (to the US). I’ll never forget that moment because I got honked at for taking too long to move after the red light I was stopped at turned green, because of my having turned down to the radio and saying “What?!” as I looked incredulously at it after hearing it, and the light happened to change right in that moment, lol.

    Let’s not pretend PBS/NPR is immune to bias, lol.

    Stopped tuning in to it on the way to work soon after that, haha.

        No one cares about shithole people in no go zones. Enjoy the fruits of your labour. Hope your kids don’t die in another school shooting or you go bankrupt due to illness.

        Now shush while civilized people talk.

        Edit: To any downvoters with dubious claims to civilization, feel free to fucking step up any time now.
