2. This is the battle that lead to the Public ownership of a portion of broadcasting frequencies
Fri Jan 30, 2015, 10:50 AM
Jan 2015

A battle that Public entities such as PBS and NPR are still waging. A constant threat of loss of funding and the placement of Republican Board members and directors has politicized the peoples media outlets. It is not the fault of PBS or NPR that Republicans are injecting their brand of reporting into what was once the most reliable news sources for unbiased reporting. It is a struggle for the principle of public ownership as well as the survival of individual local stations that is going on within the current political and public distrusting environment.
