The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced [ [link removed] ], last week, that it will shut down after Congress –under pressure from Trump – eliminated $1.1 billion in funding through 2027. It’s a devastating blow to the future of public media. But this isn’t just about budget cuts—it’s about fear and control.
This week, on How Is This Better, I break down the chilling wave of corporate capitulation to Trump, including CBS and ABC’s multimillion-dollar settlements, the abrupt cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show – part of Paramount being on their “best behavior” ahead of a now-approved (by Trump’s FCC) major merger.
Joining me , for this episode, are: COURIER founder and publisher, Tara McGowan ; and longtime journalist Mark Jacob . We explore the failures of corporate media to stand up to Trump and why Americans are increasingly split into the informed and the manipulated.
