Hello amigo😎 After reading Matt's insightful musings about listening to a one-sided pseudo debate on public radio earlier, and sort of skipped through some of the comments (ostensibly responding to it) I find myself empathizing with your observation
that a "vengeance is mine shtick" seems to have garnered favor. I did not read anything in Matt's narrative that baited such a digression, but this level of censorious vengeance🐍 does seem a tad absurd in response to his clear advocacy for a fair and balanced discussion of free speech. 🙄
Anyway, I also often enjoy NOVA, as well as the FRONTLINE series; plus, the two Bay Area PBS stations have some quality local programing; and as you factually stated only 2% of public radio & TV funding is by the Federal Gov't. There was one comment early on that made a very astute reference to Associate Justice Louis Brandeis, who wrote what has been heralded as the greatest defense of our freedom of speech ever written since the founding. The legal case at bar is worth looking up and reading: Whitney vs California. 👴
