How long before user-generated content and alternative forms of social media like this site or like Matrix, PeerSuite, Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, and etc. are next in the crosshairs?
Why do I feel like the Elmo Twitter hack was orchestrated by the Trump dictatorship to further sow hatred against public media and give another reason to defund it?
something tells me that AntiZionist Elmo has surprisingly less opinions about this
Dear Congress:
You're not being the people Mr. Rogers thought you could be.
Knowledge is power and they want the public to have none of it
Elmo's attempt to appeal to their base failed.
They've had a hardon for public broadcasting for thirty years, which is why NPR and PBS have been preparing for this and why their funding largely doesn't come from the feds anymore. It's a hollow victory, it's just depressing because anymore, it seems the right gets everything they want. They get it all. All of it. And we get nothing.
Fuck this administration, I hope they burn in the hell they believe in. I hope they all get cancer.
I try my best to find redeeming qualities in everyone, but there is none to be found in them.
Education is nearly dead. Just the way these shitbags want it.
NPR is the only news media that consistently tells me the core news, why it's important, and never "how I should feel about it".
The White House called for an end to federal funding for NPR and PBS in April, claiming that they "spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as 'news.'" Trump also fired the CPB's three Democratic board members, who refused to leave their posts. Trump sued them this week in an attempt to force them out.
Translation: they don't regurgitate right wing talking points.
These people are disgusting.
It's just all vengeance and spite for decades of having to "tolerate" even a modicum of liberalism in their lives.
She shouldn't have said this, it sealed the deal "Millions of Americans will have less trustworthy information about their communities, states, country, and world with which to make decisions about the quality of their lives."
She should have said: "Millions of Americans will lose access to information about how great Trump is and how to report who to deport next."
Jokes aside, the emergency broadcast system makes so much sense as a function of public broadcasting. I have been to several countries that explicitly subsidize radio and tv channels for this purpose. You can have public programming 99% of the time, and a way to get information out in an emergency all ready to go.
I really hate this administration.
strange, I assumed they get their budget raised after Elmo came out as a nazi
