Brendan Carr described as “Trump’s Censorship Czar” as he launches media probes.
I do think it is poor practice to have the government fund content that has political opinion.
NPR fucking sane-washed trump all of 2024. They are partially to blame for this. Still support them but I expected more.
Eat a blizzard of dicks my guy. Car Talk and Radiolab are fuckin bangers!
More evil shit. All they can do is tear things down, never create.
Wait until fox news becomes federally funded and the official lies news of the government.
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…
Right on schedule.
