I didn't know they had a deal with OAN! I knew he wants state run media which is obvious. Thank you for reporting this.

At least we have independent media that reports the truth and some inside stories. I know a lot of people who watch these right-wing propaganda networks. They make me want to puke. I hope public broadcasting receives some kind of non-partisan backing. We can't lose the alert systems.

What about all the millionaires/billionaires in America that hate trump and what he is doing…. Why cant they put together some fund or however you do it to support PBS and NPR and others that are vital to the public? Someone needs to step up who can. Idk, makes sense to me

Sorry, Cathy. They are already lost. Substack is the future.

Things are moving so quickly now. I watch PBS a lot - for shows but also for news. Christina Amanpour has an excellent show with interviews that delve into international issues. This is another blow.

Really liked your interview with Brian Karem (sp?) - never had heard of him before but had found you here. liked his going to jail four times to protect confidential sources. That's guts just like you have guts. Trump wants to eliminate all references to January 6th. Oklahoma now will be teaching all students in certain grade that the 2020 election had serious credibility and not that Trump and minions lost 60 law suits and only won one that had nothing to do winning the election. I wish more would encourage Americans to read pp 1-25 and 83 (pardons) of https://www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Just-Security-Jan-6-DC-Trump-Clearinghouse-Government-motion-for-Immunity-Determinations-Oct.-2-2024.pdf

“to create its own “state-run media” that supports the regime, like we see in Russia or China.”

Thank you, Miles, for sharing this information. It is very distressing to me; the latest in a huge line of horrifying actions taken by the Trump Regime. 😢

We are in huge trouble without PBS.

I think NPR is pretty unbiased - basically reporting the news and other human interest stories. State run media will turn America into Russia, China or North Korea. All propaganda & lies. It will be the end of democracy. We can’t let that happen. Are you listening Supreme Court? Are you judges willing to abdicate your freedom? Rule wisely & Constitutionally. That is what the people pay you for.

I am hoping that enough of us will be astute enough to recognize state-run TV for what it is and simply ignore it in favor of credible sources.
