Labeling PBS, NPR, and CBC as government funded media outlets is accurate and valid. Yet these media outlets have threatened to leave the Twitter platform in retaliation Why are they so worried about the public knowing who grants them funding if it’s the truth?
Because they want to run the propaganda and take money under the table to maintain credibility
The propoganda of sesame street, barney, mister rogers and elmo right?
Elon is publicly funded by China, Saudi Arabia and the US. Did he label his account the same way? 🤔
If a conservative govt is in power, is Fox News a govt funded media outlet ?
Will Elon label his account and Twitter accounts as gov't funded due to his $$ from US gov and Saudi gov?
NPR gets their funding from member stations, viewers and corporate and charitable sponsorship. You’d know this if you ever listened to them and had to sit through the endless pledge drive. They’re not funded by the government. Only government funding would be a competitive grant every now and then from the department of education. This amounts to less than 0.1% of the total funding. So Elon is wrong on this one. He just doesn’t like what the media writes about him and he takes every opportunity to discredit them and spends his entire day on Twitter whining about it….as if Twitter were some pillar of truth.
OP ain't gonna respond to this, hard to see when his head is stuck 3 feet up Elon's ass
And who funds these member stations? A lot of Government grants! Stop parroting lies you hear on some media outlets. NPR gets a lot more than 1% from the government. They are being dishonest here by not clearly revealing the exact amount of money they get from the government directly and indirectly. Btw F*** Elon
Can’t have any respect for Elon after he treated swe as shit clowns, pawns in his Twitter polls like he’s some Roman emperor. He doesn’t treat humans as humans.
Maybe they were shit clowns given he fired 80% of the company and the product is working better than ever, new features are being launched and daily active users at ATH.
Oh please. They were employees. In an employment contract. Not his family. He didn’t owe them anything.
Dude just made a 44 billion dollar collosal mistake and is doing everything to antognize users and advertisers. Genius
What if this is all part of the plan to tank the company?
Could have just given me that 44b, could have returned him 50b in a month and I keep anything left above that
Tesla and SpaceX aren’t labelled as government funded for some reason. Trying to figure out why…
Elon is an egoistic joker. I applaud NPR's Lansing from quitting twitter. https://www.npr.org/2023/04/12/1169269161/npr-leaves-twitter-government-funded-media-label
