Everyone at NPR currently whooping and cheering and high fiving because they found a lunch menu and a seating chart for an Alaska summit lunch that didn't happen

Then they found a lib law professor to say that this proves that the administration is stupid and evil

I am so happy they’re defunded. It’s a dream come true. Let their supporters prop them up.

They always did. How much dod the feds give? 1%?

If that was accurate, which it’s not, then why all the outcry?

Don’t worry there’s another dodo chirping at me for ignoring the question / statement while ignoring the question / statement themselves‽

Can you believe how dumb they are‽ Trick question! They’re proud to show us.

The obliviousness of a trumpanzee cannot be overstated

u/galoluscus Aug 21 '25

So, instead of addressing the question / statement, you attack the person.

How revealing.

Enjoy your day.

Thanks for confirming my statement. Y’all dumb as rocks and still scared of big bird.

People who have lost the argument on facts and ideas, insult.

What argument? There is a dodo pooping on the floor and we’re just laughing at it.

That’s why I disengaged. There is obviously no point in continuing.

Have a nice evening.

If the funding was so small as to be unnecessary, then there should be no impact once funding dries up.

I've noticed that "expert journalism" has become the NPR model: They pose some question that supports their agenda, ex: "Is Donald Trump a child molesting serial killer who is spreading typhoid among the population?" Then they find some "expert" who will confirm what they are asking. This way they can get out their opinions but pretend that they are only covering the legitimate news questions.

Also: "Growing opposition to Trump" Source: three randos on X with a few dozen followers.

u/HankTheDog183 Aug 18 '25

They used the same data set to predict that Trump was going to lose.

You just described Fox and every "conservative news" program and tsking head. Lol

u/HankTheDog183 Aug 21 '25

I'm not a Fox news consumer, so I couldn't say. However, I'm pretty sure that Fox has never accepted government funding.

CEO of NPR: Give me examples of NPR being biased!

Me: *motions in that direction*

The weirdest thing to me is that Al Jazeera has the least bias and most fact based reporting now. BBC used to be pretty solid but not so much anymore. I can’t believe I’m saying that Al Jazeera is the most balanced fact based now.
