Of course the party of free speech wants to defund... free speech. Lol
PBS died the day Trump got elected. It just doesn't know it yet.
Even if you think it wasn't I'm going to keep saying it was. Know why?
If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do
Cancel those Amazon memberships and set up annual donations to PBS instead!
this fuckers actually love cancel culture
How do you defund something that runs on charity from the people who watch it (and also a large contribution from the Koch brothers)? Do these dumbfucks think PBS is paid for by tax money? Every single program I've ever seen on PBS explicitly states it's paid for by viewers (and again, the Koch brothers).
I remember a street interview while (least 10 years) back where elderly people said pbs was 5 to 25% of federal government budget. Like wtf you confuse question with military?
PBS is also funded by a grant from the government.
It’s a small portion of their funding at this point but still essential.
Well, looks like I'll be setting up monthly donations to PBS.
I also just sent them a 100 just to be sure. 🤘
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Orwell thought The Party would be directing it all, but this is all sufficiently self-directing, much more akin to what Huxley/Bradbury predicted. People are paying for the privilege of being lied to and running interference for The Party without needing to be coerced with fear of The Party. They only fear The Other.

Given how fast generative AI is advancing I'm afraid we are only years away from not being able to trust even video evidence
It's not a "salute", it's a Nazi salute, from a Nazi, to tell the world, "I'm a powerful Nazi and there's nothing you can do about it."
It's time we did something about it.
It’s time we did something about it.
We had that chance, just over two months ago.
We elected one of them to office.
It's never too late to fight fascism.
And never too early, neither.
T'Ana is one lucky Caitian.
It’s official, trump fans are nazis
Official-er.
Er-er-er-er....
They've been after PBS pretty hard. It's probably the one thing that stands between them owning all media in this country.
And Wikipedia. Lol they'll throw anything they don't like in as a seed to further their fuck face agenda.
What a Nazi bitch move out of the I'm a little Nazi bitch playbook.
Musk denied the claim
Did he? Can anyone find exactly what he said in this denial?
Interviewer: "Did you really do a Nazi Seig Heil?!"
Elon Musk: "Nein"
Lugenpress
yeah nothing new. they don't like the post office, libraries, public media, public schools, public healthcare, public fire departments, pretty much anything public
"pure propaganda"
As in: "We want pure propaganda! We don't want any media whatsoever to ever say anything that we don't like or already agree with! You say Trump is God or you get defunded!!"
