Politicians and China

Post by Newt »

Remember in the Covid stimulus, Nancy and the democrats insisted PBS get a sizable chunk of the money.
China had made the payment and Nancy had cashed the check. She owed, so we paid.


DEEP STATE:


Taxpayer-funded PBS stations produced pro-Beijing documentary
Didn’t disclose China ties.

Two PBS affiliate stations — which receive millions in taxpayer funding every year — are airing a pro-Beijing documentary, which was produced in conjunction with China Global Television Network, a Chinese media outlet controlled by the country's communist government.

Investigative reporter Chuck Ross broke the news Thursday about the film, "Voices from the Frontline: China's War on Poverty," which touts Chinese President Xi Jinping's plan to end poverty in the country by 2020.

PBS affiliate KOCE, known as PBS SoCal, helped produce the film and premiered it Monday. KCET, which merged with KOCE in 2018, will air the show on Saturday. Other PBS affiliates, including in Idaho and Las Vegas, have either already aired the film or plan to do so later this month.

The one-hour documentary touts Chinese President Xi Jinping's initiative to alleviate poverty in China by this year.

"In the last forty years, China's economic development has lifted more than 700 people out of poverty," reads the introductory script in the film.

"To President Xi Jinping, ending poverty is his most important task," the script states.

In his report, Ross noted that the film does not disclose CGTN's links to the Chinese government nor does it disclose film producer Robert Lawrence Kuhn's ties to officials at China's State Council Information Office, which reportedly specializes in foreign propaganda.

In February 2019, CGTN, China's primary state broadcaster, filed with the U.S. government as a foreign agent of the Chinese government, yet this goes without mention in the film.

According to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting records, KCET received $5.6 million in federal funding last year, and more than $1.8 million in 2018. KOCE also received more than $1.8 million in 2018 before the merger.

Since taking office, President Trump has repeatedly called for defunding the CPB, which provides funding for public TV stations such as PBS and NPR, but proposals have failed to pass through Congress.

While federal funding is not the only source of income for PBS stations, federal dollars are crucial for many stations to continue operations.

"There is no viable replacement for federal funding – which amounts to $1.35 per citizen per year," PBS SoCal acknowledges on its website.

According to Ross, Kuhn, a former investment a banker, is well connected and highly regarded in China. He reportedly appears frequently on Chinese state media outlets to discuss his views on the country.

Flynn had not filed as a foreign agent for Turkey, but was making hundreds of thousands as spokesperson and was lying to our VP Pence about discussions with the Russian Ambassador over sanction against Russia.
While Trump was ordering Companies out of China, his daughter was receiving 11 new patents for production in China.
Life is full of hypocrisy if you not looking out one eye only...
