Tracking public media’s lobbying push, forever chemicals, and more
Hi there,
It’s Thursday. Today, we’re talking about efforts by NPR and PBS to court lawmaker support for public broadcasting, rollbacks of bans on “forever chemicals”, Ben Cohen’s (of Ben & Jerry’s) public protest, and more.
We’re also following Trump’s plan to accept a $400 million Boeing jet from the Qatari government — a legal and ethical issue that deserves far more scrutiny by corporate media of all political leanings.
Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:
