    The content linked states the media organizations funded are Independent. How is independent media propaganda, and do you have examples to share with the class?

    Remember, the right has propaganda outlets too. This is by design to keep us at odds with each other.

      They’re legally independent, but when their budget is 80% American government, they’re effectively not independent.

        Can you cite a specific example? How did you come up with the 80%?

        “80% of our budget is affected” is not equal to “80% of our budget comes from here”.

          I took that to mean that 80% was directly affected, as in it came from this one US Govt program. But that’s also a valid interpretation.
