The world is essentially simple if you choose to apply reality to it. Of course, many folks avoid the real feel as much as they can.  Much easier to believe what you want to believe. Nice cocoon.

 

Two political issues illustrate my point. First, the Trump administration believes Americans should not be forced to pay for ideological enterprises. So, there will be a bill introduced into Congress to stop about $550 million in tax money going to PBS and NPR annually.

 

Both of those organizations are fervently left-wing.  They don't even fake it anymore. Example:  The high-profile "Frontline" unit did an election documentary last fall. Guess how many Trump supporters were interviewed?  That would be zero.  There simply wasn't enough time, as the Frontliners featured more than ten Kamala Harris zealots.

 

You and I paid for that.

 

And then there's Harvard.  According to the student newspaper, The Crimson, about 90 percent of the professors there are Democrats.  Yet the school gets a tax exemption from the feds.  Does the 90 percent number sound fair to you? Inclusive?

 

Obviously, the answer is no. Harvard is promoting a liberal philosophy on the public dime.  This is wrong, as it would be if a Rush Limbaugh University got a free ride.

 

Federal tax exemptions were invented to help the "public interest," not to promote ideology. Harvard and PBS/NPR have First Amendment protections but not unfair propaganda exemptions.  If they were to reform, promoting ALL responsible expression, then let the tax dollars flow.

 

But they won't.  So, Trump is correct in holding them accountable. 

 

Simple, right?
