All we have left of a non-profit driven media source. btw, I couldn't agree more that they need to pick a path. I wish it were more heavily govt funded and didn't need to rely on corporate sponsorship at all.
Government funding that wasn't up for debate or review every 2-4 years. @ cliffelam As for MSNBC, this is off-topic but if I had to watch either MS or Fox, I'd pick fox. Why? Because they make no bones about being biased and having an agenda while MSNBC seems to attempt to try and pretend otherwise. From what I've seen, and it's been a while, they both suck.Why do you think that the Ford Foundation or the UNC Board is somehow less political than the Disney board?
Never said I did.Quite an advantage.
Yes, it would certainly be an advantage, but to who's benefit? I'd say to the kid that can't get many channels but thankfully has sesame street, nova etc. I'd have no problem with them being much more heavily funded/subsidized/advantage-given.
I would note that MSNBC isn't apparently profit driven.... -XC PS - Why do you think that the Ford Foundation or the UNC Board is somehow less political than the Disney board? I'd probably argue that the Disney guys are a zillion times more accountable and approachable. PPS - It's already heavily gov't supported because of it's non-profit status. It's guaranteed license renewal for cable and TV bandwidth and an automatic inclusion into all tiers of cable and directTV. Quite an advantage.
