Great time to up your contribution to NPR or your local public news station.

US President-elect Donald Trump said he was picking Kari Lake, a former news anchor and a hardline Republican who failed to win an Arizona Senate seat last month, to be the director of US government-funded media outlet Voice of America reut.rs/4gw5tJz

I am trying to read non profit media because too many evil fux own the main rags.

torgman.bsky.social•75 days ago

Good thing we can't hear VOA on our radios here.

Nice Polite Republicans? Not enthusiastic.

pexsy.bsky.social•77 days ago

Good idea to add NPR to your donation list.

johannah1372.bsky.social•77 days ago

It’s all just a sh…show. He hasn’t been inaugurated and it’s already been four years of hell and chaos.

sossity.bsky.social•77 days ago

Voice of MAGAmerica…..

Always the brides maid, never the bride.

ne1970.bsky.social•77 days ago

Defund Voice of America. That’s what the GOP would scream to do if it were the opposite.

ndfan.bsky.social•76 days ago

Oh my god. Nothing but propaganda. Worse than it is now

uberfahr.bsky.social•76 days ago

Indeed. VOA is a powerful medium.

“All the best people”…🙄

shorepatrol.bsky.social•76 days ago

Perfect.

Insane liar picks the same to broadcast lies and deceive us.

iajulufo.bsky.social•77 days ago

I ve never knowingly listened to VOA. She can have it

georgecochrane44.bsky.social•77 days ago

Sadly NPR is guilty of soft-pedaling fascism. I listened the whole election cycle.

Another disappointment, though I’ve been referring to it as National Pentagon Radio since Bush 2.

Likely fearful of losing federal funding, but no excuse.

I’m looking at you, Mary Louise Kelly…

maniraptor.bsky.social•77 days ago

Steve Inskeep, too.

I’m still angry about how long it took them to say “torture” to describe obvious abuse instead of their (and the Bush admin’s) preferred euphemisms (“enhanced interrogation” and “enhanced stress positions”).

possum-107.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yes. Her interview today with Jason Miller was terrible. She either doesnt know her history, or deliberately ignores it.

georgecochrane44.bsky.social•71 days ago

I can’t bear to hear her utter one syllable at this point. Turn it off.

rogeramundson.bsky.social•75 days ago

NPR is nothing more than a media outlet for the Democratic Party Propaganda Department. That NPR says they are Independent is one of the biggest jokes on the planet.

susanmccrea.bsky.social•76 days ago

NPR hasn’t been the same since they “parted ways with” Bob Edwards.

shortdorn.bsky.social•77 days ago

NPR did a whole lot of sanewashing and bothsidesing. I will suggest you subscribe to @theguardian.com and donate money to @propublica.org

caffineaddict.bsky.social•77 days ago

They bent over so far doing it, that they made a pretzel look straight.

artstudio322.bsky.social•76 days ago

It’ll be propaganda from her, exactly what Shitler wants.

heffie2.bsky.social•77 days ago

Exactly!

caffineaddict.bsky.social•77 days ago

Nope I already canceled my sustain contribution. They bothsidered and normalized MAGA. They made their bed with the far right, they can sleep in it.

Every time I turned them on, they had some far right talking head spouting nonsense, and were uncritical of it. Screw them, Ill support others instead

kapwen.bsky.social•76 days ago

This is the scariest appointment of all because no one will be watching what she does. Do we ever hear anything about Voice of America? No, but people around the world and more importantly, our military will hear plenty. All propaganda.

jeannehoffa.bsky.social•77 days ago

It’s just not fair…

skzimm.bsky.social•77 days ago

is it so hard to imagine this lady as the "Voice of America?" Yes, for any right-minded American. MAGA just wants to "own the libs" and without any other discernible policy goals.

barbiebluesky.bsky.social•76 days ago

She wanted wayyyyy more than this, so there’s that.

pheneghan.bsky.social•76 days ago

Not only would I not donate to NPR, I stopped listening years ago when they regularly had Hungarian fascist Sebastian Gorka on Morning Edition spewing MAGA propaganda with the most timid pushback.

msistheworst.bsky.social•77 days ago

She also failed to win the governorship of AZ, Lost the Senate seat 2x. From AZ, can't stand that lady.

cyanescens.bsky.social•77 days ago

I’m sorry but no, not NPR, they’ve totally lost the plot, just like the NYT, bland both-sidesing and sane-washing. I can’t stand to listen to them anymore.

rogeramundson.bsky.social•75 days ago

The NY Post is a more reliable news source these days than the New York Times.

numtini.bsky.social•76 days ago

Donate to NPR so they can tell me why this is a good thing?

drblatto.bsky.social•77 days ago

I stopped contributing to NPR a few years ago when they were doing some of the most shameful, pro oil industry coverage I've ever heard. And then they revealed that the segment was funded by Koch industries. Clearly they didn't need my money.

drblatto.bsky.social•77 days ago

I distinctly remember the piece: it was about unintended consequences of climate change policies. And they focused on what were described as "small producers", old folks and families who had a small lease or well. And that these people were getting unnecessarily hurt by climate policies. Absurd.
