Heaven forfend kids might learn empathy & compassion..
A comittee led by Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to defund NPR, PBS - apparently they're 'radical, left wing echo chambers for wealthy white urban liberals & are 'brainwashing & transing children'...
Insanity seems widespread in the American govt.

It's not stupidity, it's fascism.

It seems rife over there just now; there was a comment on FB earlier from someone who'd been witness to another ICE operation where an entire family including terrified children had been arrested. The person had tried to intervene & his dog had been attacked by them.
SO glad we don't live there.

Well, everyone knows Big Bird is totally woke, Animal is a radical lefty, and those two weirdoes who live together are obviously gay.
Don't get me started on the frog and his paramour...

so how does that contribute to a balanced media if you shutdown all the inconvenient lefty media organisations. Then you will just be left with 'radical, right wing echo chambers'

Which would no doubt be very comforting for some of us. No reason to think, or be challenged, or to face up to some unpleasant realities.
Until those came knocking at our doors.

Reality is mostly not simple, it's nearly always complicated, simple minds like simple solutions hence the right wing in general.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
