NPR receives a small number of competitive grants from CPB and federal agencies like the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce. This funding amounts to less than 1% of revenues.

In 2020 NPR got 23% of its funding from the federal government, and in 2023 PBS got 39% of its funding from the federal government.

My point is that having news organizations be held to account publicly for their biases through congressional means only makes sense if their coverage is being paid for by the government.

MTG doesn’t actually want anything she’s just an empty vessel through which Trump moves in every way except the one way she wants him too (maybe that’s over the line but it’s just the impression I get)

Use this community to share news articles.

I tried not to make rules for this community but y’all wylin’. I’ll keep it quick and to the point:

  1. Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.

  2. Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.

  3. Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you’re not sure whether or not you’re in this category, ask yourself if what you’re about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one’s character, etc. There’s some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don’t let this rule scare you.

  4. Endorsing or supporting extrajudicial, nonexecutive or nonwar violence is prohibited.

  5. Using slurs is expressly prohibited.

  6. Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)
