The fact that we’ve let the CPC continue to maliciously conflate “publically funded” with “state run and managed,” while diehard Conservatives nod along, heads firmly positioned beneath the heels of their media conglomerate ogliarchs, is such a gut-wrenching reality.

We already know that the US govt interferes with private media to some extent. Why not the guys who directly get paid?
