"Government-funded media"

I guess state-run media doesn't like it when you point out the strings attached to their puppets.


Publicly Funded PBS Joins NPR In Quitting Twitter


First, it was the National Public Radio (or is that Ratio) that stormed off Twitter in a huff after being declared "government-funded media" (it says it right there in the company's title folks, National and Public) and now it is another Public (as in non-private) company that doesn't like being called out for what it is that has decided to make a dramatic exit stage left: the Public Broadcasting Service has followed National Public Radio in rage quitting Twitter after the social media network labeled both organizations as government-funded media.

PBS stopped tweeting from our account when we learned of the change and we have no plans to resume at this time,” PBS spokesman Jason Phelps said in an email. “We are continuing to monitor the ever-changing situation closely.

Awesome.

I love it when people with pretend moral high ground go off in a pretend dramatic huff.

It's ok PBS, I will continue to watch you when nothing else is on.

The dems love tagging, labeling, and "fact-checking" people, not so much when it comes back around. Funny how that works.

I guess Voice of America is next?

I thought it was common knowledge because as the article says, it’s in the names NPR And PBS.
It would be like ATS saying we don’t discuss secrets.

How can anyone understand these people anymore? Does anyone else think AI has been running the show since about 2012?

Sounds like Twitter has gone nuts banning Substack. Musk has done better than Dorsey with Twitter, as for finding that light, still seams like Elon has his head up his butt.

I should not be that hard on him, he got a tough gig trying to clean up Twitter. If he wants to make it the public forum some aimed for, then he needs to take of the reins when it comes to linking to others sites and views. The public debate will sort this mess out eventually given the chance.

As for all the popping heads in the censorship department, buy them a pop corn machine and look for some good doctors in dealing with the trauma. If Twitter is to isolate itself from the rest of the internet, looks like game over from here.

Good, I hope the rest of the liars follow suit. I hope facebook gets overtaken in the same manner. In reality, I wish nothing more than to see ALL social media and mainstream media get toasted and shut down. I hope all journalists lose their jobs for being biased, and I hope all news anchors that only report biased news get fired and unbiased people who report real news, not agendas, replace them. The world would be a better place if we had that and had to rely on reading newspapers again.

They’ll be back on Twitter before too long.
Just like the rest of the Liberal goons that have quit Twitter over one hissy fit or another.

Four to six months from now they will be back with an excuse like "we had to return to clear our name/fight disinfo/confused sense of morality".

The NPR article about NPR quitting was hilarious though, of only because NPR was reporting on NPR as of it was a different entity. 🤣

State media aka state propaganda.

Actually NPR is doing better right now with 100 million from Bill gates. Im sure they'll be unbiased toward Bill gates and his agendas which align 100% with government agendas.

Voice of America is straight-up propaganda. Does it even pretend to be otherwise?

Now they just need to label CBC and the coffee will taste better today.

Turn about is fair play, the labelers have become the labeled.

The outrage is delicious.

They're lucky he was generous with the label. If he wanted to be even more accurate they would've been labeled Democrat mouthpieces.

Mike Adams got banned decades ago, now he has a safe place to contend this nonsense. It was somewhere in this interview with the Substack - Twitter issues emerging.

I am not on Substack or Twitter, I don't know. I have seen Substack as a great source on this covid mess so not surprised the corporate media wants to kill it. As for what side of the line Elon wants to go? You ain't going to set up a base on Mars if you don't like questions.

Good but Elon should have just labeled the so called MSM simply highest bidder funding, so they would all jump ship

Mike Adams got banned decades ago,


couldn't have been banned decades ago from twitter be cause twitter was founded in 2006.that's 17 years. and fakebook only banned his site in 2020.
not only that, mike adams from natural news is a alex jones wanna be type huckster, and says everything is a conspiracy so he can sell bullsh@@ nutritional junk to the gullible.

now to be fair somethings he hits on might be seen as a conspiracy. but most of what he claims is nothing but bullsh@@.

It's better having them on the platform, so people can see corrections to their lies in real time via replies and retweets.
