There's no doubt that the word "public" in their name is a fraud. When Americans aren't allowed to criticize their supposedly "public" networks, when their viewpoints are offhandedly labeled misinformation, they cease to be networks that represent all the public. They then represent only a fraction of the public, that fraction being the pompous liberal elite who want to tell the public what to think while invalidating any and all disagreement. This is the exact opposite of what America has always represented.
