Ajit Pai Elected To Public Television Board Of Trustees - eviltoast

Pai, who chaired the FCC from 2017 to 2021, during the Donald Trump administration and was often derided online mostly for undoing the net neutrality rules, is now a partner at Searchlight Capital Partners, a global investment firm.

”America’s Public Television Stations are honored and delighted to welcome Ajit Pai to the APTS board,” said APTS president and CEO Patrick Butler.

Fox in the henhouse, again.

    I am the starting comment in this tree. We don’t have data on the lobbying arm because it’s not a nonprofit. “Supporting their members” is what I want to understand and, unless you’ve found a source I haven’t, I can find no concrete impact of the nonprofit on public television in the United States other than members of the station boards get money in salary from the dues their stations pay. With all due respect, I’m interested in sources that explain what they do, not speculation pulled from marketing copy on their own website, which is where I started.

      Yeah dude I’m interested in that, too.

      But I’m not sure what you want from me I’m not one of their board members I’m just finding shit on the internet and parsing it, same as you.
