“PBS and NPR were chartered to provide objective journalism,” Bozell wrote. “Instead, we got drag shows for kids, gushing coverage of Democrats, and silence or smears for conservatives.”
This is that “reality has a liberal bias” hitting hard. PBS and NPR are the only forms of media that still abide by the fairness doctrine and present an actual “both sides”. No matter how ludicrous one side may be, they still do their best to present it in a way that sounds like it isnt insane. Their only loyalty is to presenting information in a way that doesnt align with any particular bias.
So when they present both sides as level-ly as possible it isnt insane enough for far right nutjobs who are used to gargling fox news all day, even though it certainly doesnt treat far right perspectives nearly as harshly as it should (given the facts of reality).
At the end of the day, this a death knell for the truth in an already post-truth era. Fuck all the assholes that voted for this and fuck this country in general at this point, honestly
