NPR and PBS are welcome to spread all the Marxist horseshit they want.

But not with my tax dollars.

Put ads for Bud Light or Ben and Jerry's on it, or fuck off.

Excellent list of companies to boycott.

Splendid!

So they should be able to get by without our money.

Could've sworn the Gates Foundation was a big one. Maybe I'm thinking of PBS.

They definitely used to be. Maybe they donтАЩt count as a corporate sponsor?

Good point. From what I recall, the list of foundation sponsors is quite long, as well.

Digging into the deep state connections of their board is illuminating too. These people are not our friends.

ItтАЩs not Marxist you idiot.

ItтАЩs bourgeois liberalism with zero concern for wealth redistribution.

You seem nice.

You should be deported to the Marxist paradise of North Korea. Or have your face boiled off with acid.

I don't care which. But I will volunteer to do the acid.

Exactly.

Celtics fans wouldnтАЩt allow their tax dollars to be used to make the Knicks tougher. Although the Knucks would probably need something like thatтАж

I wish it [edit: тАЬitтАЭ to read _ they _] would, but thatтАЩs just not how it is. ItтАЩs nothing more than a mouthpiece of the PMC with some CIA sewage floating on top. However something outside of the privateer equity profiteersтАЩ media is needed and thereтАЩs a small chance it could reemerge in the PBS ecology. So terminating its tiny funding stream seems a wasted effort, to me.

Probably true. But, so deserved, donтАЩt you think?

If you appreciated that final Flaubert novel, youтАЩll likely appreciate тАЬ12 ChairsтАЭ too. Or maybe, having resided in Russia and, I think, you speak the language, you already know it?

I have that in a DVD set of Mel Brooks' films, but I haven't watched it yet.

ItтАЩs a classic. And it has a very, very young Frank Langella. Maybe his first starring role.

Mel Brooks? Really! I had no idea. I now have to find it.

Marxism means end of all private business. (America has virtually no actual marxists or actual left wing). Calling NPR marxist is like calling pro-law enforcement fascist.

Please.

The left in this country celebrates CEO killers and absolutely has Maoist views.

They don't say it out loud on NPR because they need corporate funding.

Every single person who works there is advancing an agenda so they can say it out loud.
