in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum • • •Guys: it just means we all need to give local public media our money directly without the government middleman. Many countries do this and have solid public media journalism on par or better than PBS. Pro tip: if "news" ever has ads, it isnt news. Its an ad agency in disguise.
If you can afford to give to public media, do it, and demand journalistic excellence.
Be a citizen and a customer, not a monetized product for advertisers. This is not the end of the world you were looking for.
