Top executives from the public media networks are bracing for a hearing on Wednesday organized by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
FTA:
"PBS news is not just left leaning, but is actively uses taxpayer funds to push some of the most radical left positions," Greene said in her opening statement. "Like featuring a drag queen on the show 'Let's Learn,' a show targeted toward young children ages 3 to 8 years old."No surprise what-so-ever that MTG started the hearing with a lie.
Kerger, the PBS CEO, later responded to Greene's assertion, saying that the drag-queen "was not actually on any of our kids' shows."
"It was mistakenly put on the website of our New York City station," she said. "It was immediately pulled down. It was never broadcast."
Greene echoed other Republicans on the committee, saying "For far too long, federal taxpayers have been forced to fund biased news. This needs to come to an end and it needs to come to an end now," she said.
And the perceived bias the right has about public broadcasting? ...I can certainly see how the current crop of conservatives view anything factual/truthful as having a liberal bias.
This may be a bigger take-over of the media by Gov than we've ever seen in this country.
It IS familiar, howsomever:
"When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Through decrees and laws, the Nazis abolished these civil rights and destroyed German democracy.
Starting in 1934, it was illegal to criticize the Nazi government. Even telling a joke about Hitler was considered treachery. People in Nazi Germany could not say or write whatever they wanted.
Examples of censorship under the Nazis included:
Closing down or taking over anti-Nazi newspapers;
Controlling what news appeared in newspapers, on the radio, and in newsreels;
Banning and burning books that the Nazis categorized as un-German;
Controlling what soldiers wrote home during World War II.
How did the Nazis use propaganda?"

That book next to Trump's bed stand was a book of 1,000 Hitler Speeches.
"Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of 'Mein Kampf,' and he's a Jew," Trump told Brenner.
Brenner then asked Marty Davis whether he gave Trump a copy of the book.
"I did give him a book about Hitler,' Davis told her. "But it was 'My New Order,' Hitler's speeches, not 'Mein Kampf.' I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish."
Brenner then wrote that Trump told her: "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."
Just sayin'.
