Given the conglomeration of both-sidesism, sane washing of Trump and MAGA, and simpering masters of vocal fry like Ira Glass who laboriously expound upon the obvious, NPR has become utterly useless. It’s radio for upper middle class neoliberal boomers and not worth anyone’s money. Let NPR die.

👏👏👏👏🩷🩷🩷💪🏻✊🏻

Just signed up as a monthly donor to WGBH in Boston.

So now you can speak freely and call the lies "lies", correct?

I hope this means you'll stop both-sidesing fascist rhetoric

I’ve been increasingly been seeing commercials on PBS/NPR over the last ten years or so, when you depend on corporations for your existence, you have lost your independence, that was the whole premise of government funding, the left whole heartedly supports equality, independence and true neutrality

Donating monthly 💕

maybe I would if you weren't polishing the knob of fascism, but nah

Maybe stop the sane washing also and call out the BS for what it is...🤔

But you're sure silent on the genocide in Gaza. I will bash NPR for this every time I see them post bullshit. I used to have the highest respect for NPR but the Jews must have gotten to them. The same goes for PBS.

And the people are with you. youtu.be/X8VQxU-DPSs

And now you don’t have to say stupid things like unconstitutional dei policy, but yet you do. You may not be silent, but you are compliant.

Now you can report the news honestly, as well as bring back real programming!!!

i could listen to Fresh Air twenty years ago and Fresh Air yesterday and it would sound the same! I am not sure how that happens unless you don't change and grow.

Hahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahah, that's the only reply you deserve, if you can fucking read.

Best wishes

I’ll stand with you, and maybe even resume my donations, if you call the tyranny what it is.

I am now on a monthly donation plan. Everybody, please consider being on a monthly donation plan.

Y'all couldn't even push back on RFK's unfounded claims about Tylenol. All I can figure is that you want the government's money more than you want donations

now that you've got no strings you need to be a lot less good to Donald Trump. for a decade now you have helped normalize him. please begin to repair the damage you have done to our democracy

So now you're free to report like the old days? Independently? Throw out the censors? Be a lot cooler if you did.

IDK if you are any better than CBS who did Not Scream on air "THAT'S A LIE" (like I did) when the Convicted Felon LIED ON AIR that the Dems would give free healthcare to undocumented immigrants (They Cannot). CALL OUT LIES ON AIR IN REAL TIME. (No "misquote" or "misspoke.") CALL A LIE A LIE!

Stay strong!

want more funding? be more vocal, stop sanewashing the GOP and Trump

We stand with you and will not allow hate to “Trump” love. NPR is among the last vestiges of an informative, objective media source.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Why do you keep “both sidesing”????

NPR donation link. n.pr/46wamAj

deserved

I don't think the public cares, given you've side with and given aid and comfort to every leader who has oppressed and murdered us for the last 40 years. You've supported the very people who are now defunding you, and therefore reaping the consequences of your own quisling politics

Substack supports nazis; better alternatives are Beehiiv, Ghost, and Medium!

You guys *really* need to stop with the both-sidesing and sane-washing. I don't want to see NPR go anywhere, but it really is ridiculous how even you guys are all ho-hum about democracy crumbling. Do better.

Does this mean no paychecks for trump’s illegal use of the military, and no pay for ICE?

If we could donate we would, however, we live paycheck to paycheck. I really wish we could help, but unable to at the moment.

I’m not interested in funding you until you get rid of your both sides isms. I heard someone yesterday conflate Kamala Harris saying fight fire with fire with political violence from the right. It’s complete bs, and you know it. It is not fair to let someone lie like that without any pushback.

I'm taking the money I used to spend on Disney+ and sending it to my local NPR affiliate. It's a way better use of the money.

"newly found sense of independence" lol

Federal money just doesn't magically appear. We the people will still continue to fund it albeit thru a different channel.

Leave Disney canceled, and put that money yo PBS & NPR. No other big media matters. They are all full of fabrications.

Cool. Can you maybe start just reporting the news without riding Trump's junk now? That'd be swell.

AMERICA HAS SPOKEN!! You still have the right to broadcast your woke liberal garbage but you're not going to use our tax dollars to do it! Suck it up and get donors who will sponsor you if thats what they want to hear! We have spoken and it's not what we want to hear or see!Go fund yourself

If you’ve ever trusted NPR to bring you clarity in chaos, now is the time to give back. Let’s keep this alive.

So you can cover Trump and fascism now? Good news!

Proud to be a sustaining member of my local station. I increased my monthly contribution.

Are you going to stop sanewashing this administration now?

Thank you NPR!

Let’s go!!!

There's no reason to run propaganda for the Trump administration now. Time to report the TRUTH!

You might try keeping the MAGA morons who shut you down off your airways. They don't want your fucking healing.

Donating to these organizations is critical. Give what you can. 🫶🏼

A stream of negativity here. I think NPR is worth keeping. It may not be the Fox of the left, but the lack of hysteria in presenting the news is enough reason for me to support.

I make monthly donation. I ordered NPR T-shirt this morning. Please, resist 3 years. We will demand the funding in 2029. #lovenpr

Thanks for all you do NPR!

It's me‼️🤡💩☠️

Expect people to support you when you quit with the cowardly wishy washy both sides nonsense

I play do this soon, but everyone who ditched Disney should make at least one payment equivalent as a donation to NPR. If we fund it adequately, the good news is the government can’t threaten funding because of content anymore.

I heard this. And, it was boring. this is the most consequential time since civil war and npr delivered boring. Shocking.

You may not want to be silenced @npr.org but the public does not want to hear this kind of nonsense from you these days. What a way to bend the knee, and what a fall from grace.

this you? bsky.app/profile/npr....

But he was already an anti-science grifter.

That's is normalizing authoritarianism. Maybe without fed money they might really give us serious analytical reporting.

Here’s a recent article: www.npr.org/sections/sho...

SMDH.

i'll stand with you when you actually stand up to fascism instead of both siding everything.

Supporting our local flagships WHMT and WAMC.

I doubled my (admittedly not huge) monthly contribution when the Orange Idiot and his horror show of confederates voted to defund NPR. Lots and lots of small monthly contributions WILL save NPR. Please consider subscribing.

I proudly support my local NPR station with a monthly donation. I encourage anyone who wants to keep our media free and fair with honest reporting to do the same.

Join, resist.

There’s this odd fear of being called “biased” if a story is framed in a certain way or if reporting comes to certain conclusions. Those are almost always made in bad faith. Again, the goal ought to be accuracy, not “neutrality.”

Thank you!!!💙🇺🇲

🫡

well, these are very interesting comments and I don’t much care for them; when is the last time you were a journalist?? when is the last time you managed a publication? Maybe NPR needs to deliver a special about how NPR works.!! Put the screws to the critics a bit. hmmm.

As someone who has supported my local station for over 40 years and who is now also doing the same for a smaller station in a rural area, I truly hope that you will examine your news coverage. Please stop with the bothsidesing. We really need solid fact filled journalism now more than ever.

The usual swarm of uninformed commenters flies in to condemn one of the last remaining unbiased news sources in the country. I hope they get what they deserve - nothing but propaganda outlets pushing one political ideology or the other.

PBS NPR and OPB are the foundation of media consumption. You are heros

Thank you!

Don’t put up with republicans’ lies

I started donating monthly today.

i specifically made sure that my donations only go to your local syndicates. NPR has bent the knee and needs to build back public trust.

#wontbackdown

Now you can unabashedly cover the corruption and graft that is 'movement conservatism.' Go for it...

Don’t back down.

👏👏👏

I have supported and will continue to support Public Radio and TV. Keep up the great work!

Pay attention: They are targeting: Free speech Voting rights Legal status/immigration History of slavery Women’s rights LGBTQ rights Law firms Media Colleges Books Education They are trying to bring religion into schools. They are trying to create a police state. What more proof do you need?

Meant James Coomerasamy, Razia has moved on but listen to her old interviews & see how its done.

Call a general strike.

Yesterday you said the Dems shut down the government. You might not be silenced but truth has been and you didn’t stand up for it.

We’re sending our money to you directly and deducting it from our taxes…

Love npr, I've been a sustaining member for years, but when trump pulled funding, I canceled 2 streaming apps and increased my monthly donation!

Became a sustaining member of my local NPR when I heard the news.

Now you are free. Use that freedom to help save our country. Get loud. Tell the stories mainstream corporate media are terrified to tell. I believe in you, NPR. Be the courageous truth-tellers we need, and you'll have all the money you need.

Who needs the feds? Yall can manufacture consent just fine without their funding.

You might have a chance if you adopt an editorial backbone. Look at the reporting of 404media.co or theintercept.com to see how a backbone looks like.

YES!!!!! 💙🇺🇲

Don't forget Qannon! Never had even heard of them before and now they were getting prime time billing on a (formerly) trusted news program to legitimize their craziness!1!! Insanity!

Stopped donated after the bs coverage on the genocide. Independent media all the way.

bsky.app/profile/chik...

Let’s hope your editorial choices start reflecting this new freedom and independence. Less both sides-ing and more direct confrontation with this illegal regime would be much appreciated in this time of crisis.

Make sure you place the blame accurately bsky.app/profile/5nar...

I marked this moment by increasing my monthly contribution. Thank you for continuing to serve the public.

Y'all had Newt Gingrich on ATC last night. Maybe... less of that now?

Me either 👍🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈
