Have PBS and NPR been pushing DEI idology?

President Trump's new head of the Federal Communications Commission has ordered an investigation of NPR and PBS, with an eye toward unraveling federal funding for all public broadcasting.

The US Government has got to stop fooling around with the American mind.

This is now turning into blatant state control of media. Trouble is, many people will be happy to have their prejudices confirmed and be glad to see the back of well-researched and evidence-based journalism. NPR and PBS are, I understand, the home of thoughtful and culturally enriching programing so watch out for that disappearing.

You may like NPR and PBS. They are the home bases of liberal progressive thought. Who do you think work at NPR and PBS? They are your typical professors of art, literature, and history. I am not saying that they are evil. They are what they are.

It's getting pretty outrageous. I thought people voted him in because "he's good with money"? Why is he trying to manipulate peoples personal lives?

He needs to go

People voted for him because he's is good at un-manipulating people's lives

In 1970, the Mississippi state government tried to ban Sesame Street because the cast was "racially integrated."

So yeah, I guess PBS was pushing DEI ever since the seventies.

There is nothing wrong with DEI just because some don't like it.

Trump and ilk need to read up on what DEI is before tearing apart the USA.

@sree251 incorrect.

@sree251 Affirmative action takes race and gender into account when hiring people, which I disagree with.

DEI simply does outreach to communities that were historically shut out from various fields. I have no problem with that.

If Trump says so.
