I listen to NPR every day, and I think it's a shame that it is being politicized like this.

NPR is kind of boring. Facts-only. Explains why certain people think it's biased.

PBS is also labeled " "Government Funded Media."

From Twitter:
"State-affiliated media is defined as outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources."

So if they have control over editorial content, then I assume this would mean the power to stop all bad articles that would criticize the current administration in charge, which isn't the case if you look back in history.

Elon Musk is a smart guy, but some of the stuff he does is dumb sometimes, making the rest of us feel better. haha.

My local NPR station plays them and on the other end of the spectrum, the really extreme, obnoxious conservative shows too.
