Sounds like you don't know much about PBS but confidently wanna mansplain it to me
If I'm wrong about something let me know instead of throwing out insults. No one knows everything.
You already showed an arrogance and argumentativeness directed at a news source which is far more trustworthy than 99% of those that exist. I'm not arguing with yet another "perfect is the absolute enemy of good" types. You already told me what you believe about PBS and I'm not exerting further mental energy to try and change that. Be wrong, I don't care.
I get that people only have a limited energy to engage with people they don't know as our time is limited. Having said that I don't believe I am wrong, since you've not even attempted to engage with what I said, and have instead chosen insults. If you do decide to care in the future, I would be open to conversing.
Edit Response: I don't hate PBS and I don't want to hurt your feelings or spread bad ideas. I simply have the media literacy to understand that PBS is politically biased towards a corporate US ideology that is not above spreading propaganda to mislead viewers. As I said before, I do think it is better run than most broadcast stations, but I am still critical of it's choices, since it is bad practice to blindly trust even 'good' new sources without being aware of their bias.
Saying you mansplained is not an insult. So I stopped reading this message when you just made that false claim again. Later.
Yeah, your right that it technically isn't an insult, Thanks for pointing that out. Even so for some reason I doubt you are intending it to be interpreted in a positive way. If you'd like to engage with the substance of what I said instead of only criticizing my delivery (which I admit may be non-optimal), I will still be open to that. Later
