    That's why Elon is dismantling their funding. Most of the media companies er... propagdan ministries... are being propped up somehow. We already know about USAID funding Politico.

    Take away the money, and they collapse. When they are gone, there will be less propaganda and censorship, the more truth will come out.

    Depends on what you mean by "cure." If you visit your local cemetary, you will find a lot of young child and baby graves from before the 1900s, and likely quite a few less from after. Why? Because of vaccines. Polio, Smallpox, Diptheria, etc., didn't just go away on their own.

    There's no injectable cure for anything, so my point is there's no vaccine effective enough that it warrants the intentional mutation (and lab leak) of SARS viruses. And I can't find any reports of vaccines being produced by biolabs. The vaccines are being produced by pharmaceutical companies.

    Where do you think the testing for these vaccines, that the companies are producing, happens?

    I agree that biolabs shouldn't be intentional mutating viruses for any end other than disease prevention.

    Since I haven't seen the biolabs produce any vaccines, and since I have seen the damage that intentional virus mutation causes, that's how I draw the conclusion that the biolabs serve nothing but nefarious purposes.

    We already know about USAID funding Politico.

    Some clarity here -

    USAID paid $24,000 for subscriptions to their news service. Politico
    Pro made over $100 million in 2023. They have denied any subsidies from
    the US government.

    Across ALL of the US government, subscriptions totalled $8 million -
    again, a small proportion of Politico's revenues and certainly not
    propping up their business.

    Trump's press secretary, I'm sure was unintentionally vague when she
    said on 2/5:

    "I was made aware of the funding from USAID to media outlets, including Politico, who I know has a seat in this room. I can confirm that the
    more than 8 million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially
    subsidize subscriptions to Politico on the American taxpayers' dime will
    no longer be happening."

    It would be easy to confuse spending across the entire federal
    government with one organization under scrutiny, based on her words.
    But, even so, $8 million out of over $100 million in revenues is a drop
    in the proverbial bucket.

    I hope this clears things up.

    From what I understand, PBS is 1/2 funded by private organizations, but the other 1/2 is funded by taxpayers. I hope that stops with this administration. That channel is 90% propaganda.

    I'm realizing now how messed up it is when they say "Brought to you in part by...<name of some globalist company>"

    They should be saying "Brought to you in part by... YOU the taxpayer. Thanks for giving us the money to spew propaganda at your kids."

    I assumed that they'd conduct their research in their own dedicated research centers. The thought of my prescription meds being invented in a secretive Chinese university lab had never occurred to me.

    All these fun facts that came to light after the scamdemic have turned me into a skeptic of everything, and especially of products coming from big brands.

    There's been pushes for defunding PBS for a long time now. But I think this time it will happen.

    I remember watching shows on PBS that were really nice. Then I moved to another area and the PBS shows were awful. One of my co-workers who had been around for a long time told me "they only put the good shows on at donation time." He said that the Leftie running the local PBS mainly just put on shows that SHE liked.

    It's long past time for PBS to start listenng to the market.

    It's more like 15%, and I'm sure many disagree with your assessment of
    their content - myself included.

    PBS is a non-profit organization meant to be an alternative to
    market-driven broadcast radio and TV.

    Until 2016 I would have disagreed completely. With the reaction of one of their then-anchors on a night shortly after the election, I have to agree
    that they employ at least one likely propaganda source. I used to watch
    their news almost every night. Now, I don't think I have tuned in intentionally at all for the past 8+ years.

    I wasn't watching but if one of their anchors had the same reaction to
    Biden's win in 2020, I would have felt the same way. PBS isn't MSNBC or FOX and they need not act like it.

    It's long past time for PBS to start listenng to the market.

    And I am overall glad we have it. If we didn't have it, I would miss a lot
    of shows that are not nearly as "brain-drainy" as what is on the major and cable networks.
