Maria Hinojosa: Public Media 'Bends Over Backward' Not to Appear 'Too Progressive'

Turns out that what we see and hear on NPR, PBS, etc. is an intentionally toned-down version of just how liberal they really are. Makes you wonder what they'd be like if they let their true progressive flags fly: a live feed of Cuban government TV, with occasional features from Venezuelan Public Broadcasting?

On MSNBC's AM Joy today, Maria Hinojosa said:

"The government supports the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that supports public media, which is independent. Although oftentimes kind of bends over backward to show that they're not too progressive, precisely because they don't want to be caught on that charge."

Lame personal promotion.....

[Mr Rogers]

They bend over so far backwards that they end up with their heads up their rumps. A position they find very comforting.

"we bend over backwards not to appear too progressive"

Even if this were true, she's basically saying, "We're very progressive, and we are trying to fool you that we aren't."

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Exactly.

Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.

Just another reason why the GOPe lost the House. They had two years to repeal Obamacare, build the wall, and cut off funding to PBS/NPR. FAIL!

Funny that when you are driving cross country you can always get NPR.

[ebshumidors]

All things considered. Heh. All things communist.
