The Corporation for Public Broadcasting agreed Monday to fulfill a $36 million, multi-year contract with NPR that it had yanked after pressure from the Trump White House.
The arrangement resolves litigation filed by NPR accusing the corporation of illegally yielding to Trump’s demands that the network be financially punished for its news coverage.
NPR is definitely making out like a bandit, they were using the loss of funding in their fundraising lately so they kinda get two wins in a sense.
Odd thing to me is it never even changed their coverage much even after the cuts, they’ve always both-sides with guests since they’re the go-to with standing politicians, a little more than half being Republicans. The left leaning thing mostly just comes from facts having a liberal bias, as they say. Lol
That’s nice in this one single case. Fuck Trump, fuck Stephen Miller, fuck Musk, fuck Bannon, fuck Vought. Eventually they will all die at some point, and on those days we will all celebrate.
This case is an interesting one because other public broadcasters were happy to take NPR’s share in this pie. Not everyone’s happy about NPR being the premier distributor. Not really covered in this article though NPR has previously been more balanced on why folks were quick to jump with the administration on this to form that consortium.
