Public media defunding is billed by John Thune as basic Federal budget cutting but he's lying of course.
The real purpose for attacking public media is to STOP FACT CHECKING of The Trump administration's policies and propaganda media.
Fully commercial media can be pressured to limit its coverage of controversial topics or be bought out by hostile media empires to suppress anti administration news.
But public media has financial support from individuals, private foundations and increasingly small public funds. This makes it better able to put public interest news items up in the forefront!
Suppression of alternative media is a well known tactic of Trump, Putin and Xi Jin Ping to rule with out critics!
