FCC Probe Into NPR, PBS Denounced as 'Attack on the Freedom of the Press' | Common Dreams

U.S. press freedom advocates this week forcefully condemned Republican Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr's investigation into National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Service that could lead to stripping them of government funding.

“The FCC chair is clearly undertaking an effort to bully and intimidate independent journalism, which is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes where democracy is under siege,” said one critic.

    wait a second, were these the same “pro palestinian” “protesters” calling the incumbent democratic president “genocide joe” and telling people they weren’t going to vote for him, while marching in every american city and taking over college commons across the country during the spring and summer of an election year, chanting “from the river to the sea”? democratic youth vote was the lowest on record this last election, while the republican youth vote was the highest, more arab and latino americans voted for donald trump in the last election than have ever voted for any republican candidate before in us history.

    donald trump won his second term by 2.3% of the vote

    congratulations, not only did you make jews terrified, eschewing 100 years of bedrock jewish support of the democratic party, you ensured the return of someone without an inkling of concern for your issues

    and we told you this was going to happen while they were doing it, the stupidest shit i’ve ever seen in my life

      The person you’re responding to is either a foreign actor or gullible enough to believe the foreign actors and repeating their talking points. He does this a lot. Thanks for calling it out.

      I like how it’s somehow non-voters fault even though they made their position abundantly clear. They’re literally one of the only groups I don’t blame. They told everyone repeatedly that they wanted an end to US support for Israel’s genocide. Biden didn’t do anything, and Kamala made no significant promises to end it.

      Obviously Trump wasn’t going to end the genocide, but continue it. But the point was taking a principled stance against an administration that could do something and did virtually nothing. When your options are genocide or genocide, and that’s your main issue at the polls, of course you won’t vote.

      Also you’re the person yesterday who was lying saying there’s no genocide in Israel. You never did reply to my comment after yours was removed.
