re: #73 Destro
PBS cannot exist as a non-profit without the govt CPB.
Obviously it could. It could be directly get grants from the government, rather than through the CPB. The government could give a large endowment and it could draw interest on.
That is what would happen to PBS if it lost govt funding and had to seek an avenue of distribution on the for profit privatized airwaves.
An avenue of distribution? So what you’re actually talking about is the privatization of member stations? Goddamn, you change arguments like shoes.
So privatization in this case very clearly means the for for profit model.
PBS is already private. Fighting against the privatization of PBS is moronic. Always will be, no matter how much you argue. It is already private. Deal with it.
