NPR and PBS Anti-Iranian Propaganda

NPR and PBS Anti-Iranian Propaganda
They both stoke fear through propaganda.
by Stephen Lendman

Both National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting serve corporate and imperial interests. They're called public to conceal their agenda.

Critics ridicule NPR as National Pentagon or Petroleum Radio for good reason. It's true as well for PBS. Calling it Propaganda Public Broadcasting more accurately explains its mandate.

Listeners and viewers lose out. Those supporting both monetarily are cheated. Each receives generous government and corporate funding. In return, they know what's expected and don't disappoint.

Founded in 1970 as an independent, private, non-profit member organization of US public radio stations, NPR promised to be an alternative to commercial broadcasters by "promot(ing) personal growth rather than corporate gain (and) speak with many voices, many dialects."
