Brendan Carr described as “Trump’s Censorship Czar” as he launches media probes.
Wait until fox news becomes federally funded and the official
liesnews of the government.They could do even worse and make it Newsmax or neo OAN.
Honestly having the government fund news is asking for trouble. It would be different if they were very clear about only funding non bias articles and information but in this case they are funding private opinions.
The largest part of NPR’s funding comes from individual donations, followed by corporate donations. Federal funding makes up around 5% of the total – important, but not even close to their primary source of funds.
if you’re concerned that 5% of their budget coming from government funding has undue influence over their editorial choices, you’d certainly be a lot more concerned about the 17% that comes from corporate donors. And when you compare that to private media’s funding, which is 100% from corporate sources…
This is the reason I’ve added my NPR stations to my donations list. Fuck the republican traitor filth. Now and forever, every republican can fuck off and die.
I added NPR and PBS to my monthly donation list as well. I wonder how many others will contribute what they can now thanks to this investigation?
Same, NPR, PBS and ProPublica I don’t want to lose sources that still do real journalism.
oh shit, propublica, good call.
Right on schedule.
Probably would have been yesterday if an opportunity to blame over 60 deaths on people not being white males didn’t appear.
They’ve been going after public media since Nixon. Of course, it would hit their key demographic–rural areas–the hardest, who rely on public media for things like emergency alerts. Not to mention public media is the only source of local quality journalism for a lot of places.
But who cares about all that when we can let Sinclair Broadcasting take over and get rid of all that “woke” stuff?
More evil shit. All they can do is tear things down, never create.
Eat a blizzard of dicks my guy. Car Talk and Radiolab are fuckin bangers!
The number of people that are going to be unemployed in the next 90 days as a direct result of this administration’s decisions is truly astounding.
I do think it is poor practice to have the government fund content that has political opinion.
You sound like you could tell us a lot about poor practices. I think I’ll tune you out though, it seems like valueless content to me.
Sounds like you’re not informed about NPR and PBS.
good thing reality isn’t a political opinion then
NPR fucking sane-washed trump all of 2024. They are partially to blame for this. Still support them but I expected more.
They did. They also shit all over Bernie for his two runs. I’m on board with your point.
