Ajit Pai Elected To Public Television Board Of Trustees

But especially fuck the corporate oligarchy that bankrolls him and the corruption he rode in on.

Oh, good. It's not just me.

The bizarre thing, whenever you write it out like that on Reddit, good chance you'll get downvoted to hell.

But count me as one of the club that does persistently sound his name out like that.

The guy is the walking definition of corporate weasel.

He smiles like a horse.

I’ve yet to see one, if one in fact exists

Horse tooth jackass looking like fafafooey jr.

Yup. Bye bye sesame street

Not yet, be the change you want to see! (Dont take me seriously murder is bad mmmkay?)

He looks like Ted Nugent?

They help fund some public stations around the country, and lobby to support them, allegedly.

America's Public Television Stations (APTS) is a nonprofit membership organization ensuring a strong and financially sound public television system and helping member stations provide essential public services in education, public safety and civic leadership to the American people.

Its affiliate APTS Action, Inc. promotes the legislative and regulatory interests of noncommercial television stations at the national level through direct advocacy and through grasstops and grassroots campaigns designed to garner bipartisan political support. The public television system is comprised of 158 licensees operating 356 public television stations across America and serving more than 97 percent of the American people. About half of these licensees are nonprofit community foundations. The rest are State, university and local school district licensees. All are locally owned, locally operated and locally oriented in their programming and community services, and all share a mission of serving everyone, everywhere, every day for free – including in places where no model for commercial success exists.

APTS is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in all forms to reflect the society that public television serves.

Additionally, APTS is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Ok, now I'm actually convinced that this is good, because it means this power hungry shitstain isn't able to curate any real influence beyond a token lobbying job at a second rate firm.

Do you have a valid subscription for that antenna?

This is the way you bribe politicians now. Somewhere along the line dinners are had and promises of future jobs are made, then you do your work like a good little greedypieceofshitjackass, leave government, and end up on some board of directors or what have you in the industry you helped make money through your actions in government.

Bribery is illegal, employing ex-government officials and giving them gigantic salaries isn't... :(

No one is in control. That's why dumb decisions get made. He's an Ivy Leaguer who was head of the FCC. On paper, this is a no-brainer hire. Obviously, smart people would disagree with that.

If you can be bought and sold, and you tell everyone that you can be bought and sold, and even proud of it, then chances are that other places are going to want to buy and sell you.

Imagine what they will turn pbs kids into.

All the dicks. And the bag, to be certain that if he weasels his way out of eating the dicks, at least he’ll have to find a way to carry them around for a while.

That is literally the only way i know how to say his name

Not much has happened. ISPs have the ability now to charge based on usage but so far have not. The possibility still lingers however.
