So I expect you'd support banning NPR, BBC, ABC Australia, NHK, Al Jazeera, and the numerous other state run or funded news organizations? And what of news organization that could be shown to be willing to get in bed with government? This [1] video is of a hot mic moment between Bill Clinton and Larry King. It's from just before Clinton was elected, but has relevance today for rather self evident reasons.

- Larry King: It's crazy - Ted Turner changed the world. He's a big fan of yours.

- Bill Clinton: Is he?

- Larry King: He would, uh, serve you - you know what I mean?

- Bill Clinton: You're kiddin?

- Larry King: Oh you'd be surprised - he's ready what's he got left in life to gain? I'd call him after you're elected. Think about it.

The reality is that nearly all media today is spiraling towards partisan and biased tabloidism, and so this action seems completely arbitrary. We can try to spin it as being "election interference" but let's imagine we played a similar game as we have with Russia, with the UK. And we qualify anybody who posted on issues even tangentially related to the US election from an England IP, with an England phone number, etc as an "English agent." How many would there be? Or even vice versa how many "American agents" are there that tried to "influence" Brexit?

Unless there's any form of consistency and objectivity in these actions, this looks more like a witch hunt than anything else.

In a bit of full circle irony, RT is where you can find Larry King today https://www.rt.com/shows/larry-king-now/

NPR Isn't a "state" funded organization. The vast majority of funding comes from listeners like you and corporations (not CPB). Republicans cut most of that funding remember?
