re: #35 freetoken

You’re making the case for publicly funded, independently operated, broadcasting institutions. Broadcasters that depend upon advertisers will always do what is needed not to offend the advertisers’ market.

That’s true to a degree. I do think that advertisers and broadcasters overreact. Most of the time these fake outrages to get people fired or issue retractions are just a couple hundred noisy activists with little real world boycott power. if complaints were based more on their own merits instead of the noise level I think journalism would be better for it.
