If election night was the World Series for the New Jersey Network, the state-owned public television network, the annual state government budget debates were the playoffs.
But in its last two days on the air this week, the network ignored the drama at the State House as the 130 remaining employees packed up their belongings, shared hugs and tears, took pictures and worried whether they would see each other only on Facebook.
The station, launched 40 years ago by lawmakers who felt neglected by Philadelphia and New York television news, was closed Thursday by politicians, including Gov. Chris Christie, who believe the state has no business in the broadcasting business.
New York's public TV station WNET will run the station, renamed NJTV. The new station will broadcast 20 hours a week of New Jersey-centric broadcasting, half of which will be provided by the Caucus Educational Corp., headed by Steve Adubato Jr., the son of a political powerbroker in Newark.
Not only does the governemnt have no business in the broadcasting industry, but it's all liberal indoctrination on top of it.
ReplyDeleteGOOD RIDDANCE

Sure, with COMMUNIST ingredients! And just what was in the Magic White that Bob Ross painted with, anyway? DRUGS???? Good riddance to all that liberal rubbish!
