Public Broadcasting Paid Protection Money to Journalism Outfit – RedState

It still seems unreal, after generations of quarrels and to debate the question, but it has been finalized that federal funding for public broadcasting is now cut. National public radio (NPR) and the public Broadcast Service (PBS) will last, although in a modified manner, with many remaining questions concerning the local stations and the affiliates facing funding challenges. But now in light is a component of the surveillance entity for these points of sale, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

At the media research center, they discovered a deeply curious payment that the CPB had made, the one who questions the allegiances that the organization has developed and has with it the suspicions of making protective payments. Joseph Vasquez revealed that the CPB had paid much more than half a million dollars at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. It is the outfit that supports politifact aggressively on the left, and is known to be beneficiary of the financing of George Soros.

Vasquez noted that in 2023, the CPB made donations to peoy in a sum of just under $ 600,000. Unlike PBS and NPR, which have budgets built on a variety of income flows such as private donations and corporate subsidies, as well as approximately a third party from subsidies and licenses of companies affiliated to the network, the CPB operates entirely on the money delivered by Washington. This means that the entity favored this relationship with Poynter using taxpayers’ dollars.

Poynter also developed, years ago, his list of “unreliable new sites”, which was made up of right -right points of sale, notably Redstate and Townhall. The outfit ended up reducing this list after it turned out to be both biased and defective in its use of measures. It has been obvious for some time that an anti-conservative bias has existed with these public broadcasters and Poynter (in particular via its Politifact platform). But what is seen is that they are more than groups with common left objectives; A real partnership has taken place and a beneficial back pace is visible.

The “PBS News Hour”, a news program that is always inclined, has a union with Politifact which it presents on its site. In addition, Vasquez also notes that other operational relationships with Poynter have been developed for stations to expand their digital presence and extend the subscriber bases. We have also seen that Politifact and PBS joined the elections in 2024. (Irony abounds as the esteem that Judy Woodruff was taken in a massive dose of disinformation during the National Democratic Convention.)

Following this partnership, the PBS and the NPR escape the caustic measure of politics. None of the two outings are subject to a single verification of the facts on the site. Thus, while Politifact is known for his aggressive approach to the Republicans and the center recovery media, these two points of sale can boast their so -called medium reports without risk of being corrected by the biggest name of this game.

This paid arrangement, revealed by Vasquez, a trend close to what has been seen and tolerated for years with Planned Parenthood. This organization has long been an eminent donor of candidates from the Democratic Party, generating an incestuous scam; DEMS facilitated taxes at PPFA, they have in turn given sympathetic candidates who have benefited from the tax to earn functions. In the same way, we have the public broadcasting company which teams up with anti-conservative media to promote part, using the very taxes which had been granted to them.

Since the funding was withdrawn last week, PBS has taken a resolutely oppositional approach that what had been heard for years. On Monday, the “PBS News Hour” said they were not going anywhere, quite the start of the hysteria heard this year only. Then something remarkable was seen. After all this time to resist the calls of those who suggest that these media could survive with their support for the public, the news came that PBS and NPR were flooded with record donations.

This is what most of the public funding adversaries of these media have said; Go do your own thing in terms of difficulty, don’t do it on our penny. Just a word of caution to those who send checks to obtain a darling tote bag – understand what this entity is spending your money after taking your check.
