The news about PBS just keeps getting worse... and now people are about to lose their jobs. Maybe I'm dense, but why aren't the billionaires and wealthy benefactors stepping in to help? Sure, it's "Public Broadcasting," but why is no one else offering financial support?

My guess is that there is no revenue in public broadcasting anymore. It simply isn't sustainable in today's media climate. Most of their viewership is moving to all digital platforms and getting their news and entertainment elsewhere.

That situation frustrates me as well. Public broadcasters play such an important role, but funding is always the first thing cut. I think wealthy benefactors could help, but it should not fall on them alone. It feels like society undervalues public media.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
