      U.S.'s “National Public Radio”.

      Don’t let the name fool you, they receive more private funding than public funding. They even got mad at Musk for slapping a “U.S. government-affiliated media” label on their Twitter account, crying, “no, in fact, we’re almost 99% privately owned!” and ditching the platform.

      I have liked a couple of their programs, but even their best program cannot escape the confines of the liberal braincage.

      Oh, during Bush’s presidency, they banned the word torture from being used in any of their pieces detailing his administration, claiming it was a loaded and biased term to describe waterboarding. So.

        Never sure how much weight to place on ‘public’ even in the best of bourgeois dictatorships.
