"Defund NPR and PBS" Act Gains Traction Amidst Partisan Debate Over Public Media Funding ~ “Republicans continue efforts to defund public media, with the proposed ‘No NPR and PBS Act.’ Critics argue the push is ideological, while defenders say funding is essential for rural stations.

Tried watching part of the hearing for PBS and NPR. It's too painful.

An #Israeli strike on a #Gaza apartment building killed 132 members of one family in October 2024. It was one of the deadliest Israeli strikes of the #Israel-#Hamas war. The few survivors documented the dead.

NPR's Fresh Air just broadcast an absolutely infuriating interview about the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education: <https://www.npr.org/2025/03/12/nx-s1-5325731/what-trumps-cuts-to-the-department-of-education-mean-for-schools-and-students>
This is the message I just sent Fresh Air and NPR's Public Editor about it.
If you care about the future of our democracy you may wish to send feedback as well. Fresh Air: <https://help.npr.org/contact/s/contact?request=Contact-an-NPR-show-or-podcast&show=Fresh%20Air>, Public Editor: <https://help.npr.org/contact/s/contact?request=Ask-the-Public-Editor-about-ethics>

The longer I listened to Tonya Mosley's recent Fresh Air interview of Laura Meckler, the more distressed I became.

Throughout the interview, Meckler bent over backwards to avoid taking sides on any of the issues under discussion. And that would be fine if the issues in question were opinions, but they're not.

It is a FACT that the United States was built on slavery. It is a FACT that systemic racism exists in the United States. These are not issues that have two sides. One side is reality, the other side delusion driven by racism and white supremacy.

When a journalist does an interview like this and insists on showing how "unbiased" she is by refusing to definitively say what is true and what is not, that's not good journalism, that's journalistic malpractice, because it leaves the listener with the false impression that these matters of fact are up for debate.

"Journalism" like this is a large part of how we got where we are today, and it's a large part of why I canceled my subscription to The Washington Post.

When one person says it's raining and another person says it isn't, the journalist's job isn't to report both sides, it's to look out the window and report the truth.

We are in the midst of an authoritarian takeover of our country. The voices people need to here are the voices that are being clear and unequivocal about that, not the voices that are muddying the waters with false objectivity.


Nice to hear Terry Gross (et al.) at #NPR #FreshAir is still able to react fast to get on top of a major breaking story. She had a Dexter Filkins interview on military recruiting recorded yesterday ready to go but after Trump blathered about #Gaza she got him to come back in this morning for an interview on THAT. It is a good discussion of the issues, if a bit cynical.


Supreme Court justices need a strong code of ethics, Sen. Hirono says

NPR's A Martinez talks to Democratic Sen. Maizie Hirono of Hawaii about the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearings on ethics reforms and the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Roberts declined to testify.

Is #PeerTube a practical means to host independent, reliable news going forward? #YouTube will become unviable any moment.

Who can educate the uninitiated?

I stopped my subscription to the #WashingtonPost and rely on mostly #NPR. One month in:

- I don't receive "breaking news", for better or for worse. NPR's cadence is slower, focusing on high level overviews rather than by-the-minute updates or high-focus on particular aspects of an event.

- I consume news less frequently. A five minute news summary in the morning, and occasionally checking the app means that I spend under 20 minutes a day consuming #journalism


Fuck, another terrible mass deportation story, this time by #NPR #trump
We need to discuss why mass deportations are not a good idea. #journalism is really failing in the #usa


How has public #broadcasting retained its trust and popularity over the past 50 years, even as the #media landscape changed radically? For one, #PBS and #NPR remain bargains for viewers and gov't. Two, their shows are better than anything else around. http://www.fromthegovt.com/public-television-and-radio/

How nice. #NPR calls ISIS affiliated #islamists #terrorists a "rebel group". Hayat Al-sham is NOT a rebel group, unless #ISIS is.
