In light of the defunding for PBS/NPR, a view of things to come starting from 1988, Ronald Grump
[indirectly] the largest source of revenue for the local channel oligopoly is political campaign commercials, which were obtained by giving many (usually wealthy) donors federal tax breaks. in fact, this oligopoly has standardized a rather unique type of adjusted accounting in which a 2yr average is omnipresent , given the huge revenue distortion in election years.
@catch 22 Oh, in general I've been thinking about many of the ways our FOTUS administration has systematically undermined our freedoms. In the case of defunding the Corp. for Public Broadcasting, it not only impairs freedom of thought and expression but also empowers the influence of ultra-conservative counterparts. I did not need to watch the video you posted to note Sinclair Network's relevance.
