Brendan Carr described as “Trump’s Censorship Czar” as he launches media probes.
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.
Same, NPR, PBS and ProPublica I don’t want to lose sources that still do real journalism.
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…
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?
Right on schedule.
More evil shit. All they can do is tear things down, never create.
