NPR to quit Twitter after being labelled ‘state-affiliated media’

[Yakuda]

^ Asshole don't like the news- so he wants to shoot the news delivery BOY!

Next!

This is what you retards don't get and it's a significant problem for you. Listen careful if you can, I don't give a fuck that NPR is state affiliated media. What I do give a fuck about is you shit heads and NPR pretending that it isn't. If you weren't constantly sucking leftists dick no one would call you state affiliated media but as it is that's exactly what you and NPR do. That's not my fault. It's all the pretending that you people do that makes you most despicable.

Listen up RETARD and get a grasp of what you are even trying to say.

State affiliated media is a media that is controlled by an autocratic state- LIKE RUSSIA'S, IRAN'S, and CHINA's Completely Governmentally Controlled NEWS PROGRAMMING!

NPR has served the public during the last 10 Republican and Democratic administrations and are not, in any way, even affiliated with the government!

Wrong, Gecko.


NPR does receive U.S. government funding through grants from federal agencies and departments, along with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The VOA is a State affiliated media.

Voice of America is the state-owned news network and international radio broadcaster of the United States of America. It is the largest and oldest U.S.-funded international broadcaster.

You didn’t get one thing right in your post, Poor Gecko.

You know that's a load of horseshit right? They aren't affiliated in ANY WAY with the govt? Really? Where does the majority of their operating budget come from?

Who funds PBS and NPR?

How much money does PBS get from the government?

$26.67M for PBS support; $22.84M for grants for radio programming and national program production and acquisition; $22.25M for CPB administrative costs; $7.00M for the Radio Program Fund.

It appears that Poor Gecko has left the building, not on his shield but dragging it behind him.

NPR does receive U.S. government funding through grants from federal agencies and departments, along with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The Federal Government insures the Public is informed with important national news and current political news, and is nationally broadcasted, so that you don't have to pay for cable or Satellite TV, for your national and political news just to get it- like you do with CNN, MSNBC, and FOX NEWS!

And it was all made available during the REPUBLICAN NIXON ADMINISTRATION AND REPUBLICAN LED SENATE in 1970.

The thing is, NPR is balanced news and does not intentionally tell you what you just want to hear just because you are a FUCKING TRUMPTARDED CONSPIRACY THEORIST FOOL!

And that is why your panties are all up in your ass crack about them!

You want to be lied to so that it makes you feel better about being an asshole!

Sir, I just tell it like it is!

I'm only here to help!

 

[Yakuda]

They get grants! The Federal Government just pays to makes sure that their information is nationally broadcasted, so that you don't have to pay for cable or Satellite TV, for your national and political news just to get it- like you do with CNN, MSNBC, and FOX NEWS!

And it was all made available during the REPUBLICAN NIXON ADMINISTRATION AND REPUBLICAN LED SENATE!!

Doesn't matter who made it available it's state affiliated media. Get the fuck over it.

Thanks for admitting you lied, Gecko.

This is a “no spin zone,” Gecko.

The Republicans have threatened to remove funding from PBS and NPR, numerous times.

The Democrats haven’t.

One wonders why the Democrats are so pleased with PBS and NPR.

 

[Grokmaster]

National Public Radio (NPR) said on Wednesday it will no longer post fresh content to its 52 official Twitter feeds after the US organization was labeled as “state-affiliated media” by the social media platform.

“We are officially de-emphasizing Twitter across the organization,” NPR said in a statement, adding that it had made the decision after Twitter refused repeated requests to remove the “inaccurate label”.

Then why did they have a cow, when their funding was threatened by the GOP?


THEY take FEDERAL MONEY; they just want to pretend that they don't. And they lie about how much they take, tryng to pretnded that GRANTS, ETC. from the Federal government "doesn't count".

The label is accurate.

Indeed.

When the Republicans threaten to cut off federal funding, NPR and PBS back off the far left, slanted broadcasting for a few days and then start it all over again.

The Democrats appear pleased with the far left slant. They don't threaten to cut off funding.
