why would i dontae to you when you keep defending nazis? they ILLEGALY cut your funding and you still quote this administration like anything they say is credible? i guess you just actually like nazis and pedophiles. i used to love NPR now i cant wait for you to go out of business

NPR: your source for inane banter, insufferable vocal fry and both-sidesism.

How much do you need? What's the goal?

I totally agree with you.

I am very much hoping for a brighter future and praying this is only a blip in our history. And I’m also hoping that we can all learn from this time and realize how important it is that the government work for the people, and not for their own twist self interests.

I have my NPR mug ☺️

this is disgusting! can there be other avenues to take things order to keep us informed.

Donate as a sustaining member, thank you NPR, you are always my go to. It's 8 Oclock, the news is next.

😡..to pave the way for the Felon to become Dictator...

Tramp - Nazi Germany, Nazi's - DJTramp see the connections !!!

Maybe NPR should not have played a dishonest "both sides" game this last election. They did their fair share of normalizing the orange beast. NPR needs to get very real what is happening.

First, I need to know something: For whom did you and your board vote for in the last election? If any of y'all voted Republican, you voted to have your funding cut and I shouldn't be obligated to bail y'all out. If y'all didn't vote for Trump, then I'll listen to your position.

Please support PBS and NPR ❤️

Join and donate if you can to support real media

So the internet doesn’t work anymore? When they cut public funding for horseshoe makers they made the same argument. The “rural” people will be fine.

"Without federal funding, public media - and the truth-telling." Hilarious!!! This is coming from a lady that gave a TED Talk where she said "the TRUTH can be a distraction to finding consensus." GTFOOH. Translation - We skewed too far left for too long and got caught. Now we are scrambling for $$$

Most tax paying Americans are interested in the truth, NPR? not so much😕 www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2LT...

Public media is at the mercy of the government in power. It's all selective truth telling. We'll only source our news from where the general public is allowed to directly comment and allowed to COMPLETE the picture.

I'd donate, if you hadn't participated for years in sane-washing Trump and his campaign. And I was a donor for decades before that.

They only got 1% Federal funding! She's just using the whole thing to get the gullible🤕 to donate!

Stop it with these fluffy headlines. He took over the Kennedy center-which is in honor of an iconic DEMOCRAT-installed himself as chairman and he’s turning it into a mockery and a shit show. It’s disgusting. It’s not “shaking it up” it’s leaving his disgusting stain on the Kennedy Center.

So what’s more beneficial to npr?.. donating to the npr network or a local npr station. I’ll be honest.. I use the npr app all the time but don’t often listen via my local station because they don’t carry about 1/2 of the daily npr content.

May you get all the support you need! 💙🤍💜💚❤️

Trump Republications are so bigoted: 😠.🧟.

FRUCK TUMP

If NPR hadn't become a mouthpiece for nazi propaganda I'd support you.

thats the plan stan

Maybe you shouldn’t have whitewashed Trump so much before the election. Your dishonesty had consequences.

That is precisely their reasons for doing it. They don't want America exposed to the unvarnished truth. They want the "Faux" News Networks and other compromised networks to disseminate the "news" and continue the Regime's lies and propaganda.

Millions could lose trusted news and vital information. Millions have access, but do they use it? The impression I get in the UK is that US public media has a relatively tiny audience.

I'll fight for PBS. I'll donate to PBS. Y'all lost my viewership and donations in 2015, and each subsequent year as reinforced that.

That's the plan. They are executing it faster than I thought. Nobody read project 25....not MAY. WILL.

I don't know—maybe stop sanewashing insane dictators and their lickspittle lackeys? Keep siding that Overton Window instead of growing a spine. You'll vanish with the rest of complicit corporate media. Can't believe I used to be proud to give money to you guys.

Autocrats see the independent press as the enemy, and they don't support their enemies! Rising fascism worldwide inspired me to write an allegorical trilogy on its perils: unjust war; failed democracy; race-based oppression. See: amazon.com/dp/B0B1JNBCTK?

There are too many black sheep among journalists! I don't trust anyone who works for large media corporations, especially those who spread fake news at Fox News, etc.

i’ll never forget years ago listening to a story about big ag’s total takeover of the midwest and hearing an anchor do a cheerful ad read for monsanto right afterwards lol. maybe you can give up the facade and just start running ads like all other corporate media does?

Has NPR been fair and balanced? ALL media tends to operate from primarily one point of view.

What is the ratio of “regular coverage” to airtime and published stories? Does Teen Vogue count? And, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Nice projection.

Of course, the laptop was a pedo. It would fiddle with calculators all the time, and the GOP was ok with covering it up.

We have been donating to Public Media for years. Public Media should have been saving $$ specifically for something like this if Republican's got in. I watch every day & will miss it if PBS didn't prepare.

This is true, but by withholding funding, the federal government has less control over NPR’s content.

My donation is made.

They won't even call out Republicans today.

Well Trump said they won because Musk is great with computers. He went to Pennsylvania and bam. Trump also said his supporters won’t need to vote again cause he was gonna fix it.

This is the woman who conspired to actively work against the Republican Party. Why does she still have a job?

Here comes trump tv

Welp.

Well, Katherine, when you bent the knee and apologized and in front of Congress for not covering the Hunter Biden laptop story enough, I cancelled my 30 year membership. Last time I accidentally tuned in, I heard right wing talking points with zero pushback. So, in essence, fuck you.

Maybe you should have reported on the dictator *more*, not less. bsky.app/profile/just...

There’s a difference between journalism and propaganda.

She is so beautiful, I am ready to invest my entire life savings in NPR.

I became a sustaining member of KUAF.

Donated, I got my I want my NPR shirt.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣 "truth-telling" you people are hilarious!!!🤣😂🤣😂 Community-connecting, you say? You're delusional.

Trump's Beautiful' plan?

Defunding something that can’t survive on its own isn’t censorship, it’s just reality. Let’s be honest: if the government were silencing critics, it’s failing. Turn on any news channel, talk show, or open a paper, it’s nonstop anti-Trump coverage.

I’ll help you fight once I know your plan. This is just a link to donate to local station.

Oh, thank you, Sir! I rarely see a sane voice on Bluesky, which is why I’m rarely here.

Why not try to get it right 100 percent of the time? Why not read a quote verbatim?

Yes, NPR is very good compared to most media in the United States, but faux neutrality IS a bias, and IS unacceptable. NPR regularly fails to accurately report on Trump with dishonest headlines that attempt not to make the White House occupant mad, and do a disservice to their readers.

So let’s find a way What do you need?

Lose lying Democrat propagandist that have been scammed the people to believe they were publicly funded. Now they are losing their taxpayer funding, and calling foul. NPR has been funded by taxpayers, businesses for advertisement, and a small amount of public funding.

Remember in 2003 when NPR was banging the war drums to invade Iraq? I remember and Pepperidge farms remembers.

But if people really want these stations to exist, they can start GiveSendGo’s to keep them funded!

Exactly

You would have never lost the funding if you'd have returned to objective reporting. When you forced out Uri Berliner that was the last straw. When any news organization employees only those of one political ideology that's going to be a problem no matter who it is.

...Then you had the gall to hold Democrats to impossibly high standards. As a former loyal NPR listener, GOOD RIDDANCE. You changed a decade ago & decided to quietly pushed a right wing agenda, but now you come crying to a left-leaning audience for financial support. FAFO

The answer is the mega rich. They made this mess intentionally, they won't be the ones solving it

Literally all you need to do to understand David Brooks is know that his son signed up for the IDF. And all you need to realize about the places that continue to print him and showcase him discussing foreign affairs, particularly over the last couple years.... Is that they suck.

Hang on NPR!!

You gotta stop playing the both-sides game. This post is a great example. You’ve managed to yet again, not call-out the orange felon. You can’t continue to do this. You must be truthful so the world can hold him accountable. You need to be transparent, and stop this nonsense.

NPR is nothing but a left wing mouthpiece for the Democrats. Their public defunding can’t come too soon. If they have any value, NPR can compete in the marketplace for funding.

I oppose. Why should everyone pay for a medium with money they were forced to give away?

CEO should toss Trump's salad again. It worked great the first time.

I saved the figures. About 36% of registered voters didn't vote or went third party in 2024. Not only did they not ask for Trump, they weren't assed enough to bother going for Harris and now cope with trying to not blame themselves for Trump. (I wasn't one of them, I voted straight Dem ticket.)

I’m just not happy with your reporting. Your report on Columbia University pissed me off. We should be relieved they settled. That is depressing

NPR and PBS are the most unbiased news station in the country.

When we need the truth the most

Most people don’t watch these station in the populist states. They will come back when the republicans and Trump is gone.

Good! I am on the plus channels anyway!

That's how long NPR has been normalizing the rapist Trump. I will not move on.

Back then, I made it a game. I would listen every morning until the moment Cokie or Juan Williams came on (when they could spare the time from their day jobs at Fox). As soon as I heard either one, I was done with NPR for the day.

If only buddy. Can tell you haven't listened to anything on NPR.

As Congress (meaning Trump) ends federal funding for NPR, the Trump supporters are also big losers. The reality of these program losses will sink in. I imagine they will still support Trump because he’s (making America great again). Boggles the mind.

Start reporting REAL and TRUTHFUL news and I may consider sending a donation. You’ve dug your own grave.

Let’s come to the rescue #VA30 secure.actblue.com/donate/j4val...

Only on Bluesky can you find insane comments about how NPR is not leftist enough - enjoy your bubble …

Finally, NPR is off the taxpayer teat, Halleluja!. I’m sure your friends here on Bluesky will continue to fund you generously though, so nothing to worry about

They won’t, they’re controlled by the same corporate media interests as the rest. You can see it in every single introductory sponsor review.

Tell the truth and quit bending the knee. We can all quit donating if you don’t tell the truth.

This head of NPR said last year: Sometimes you have to “bend the truth” Out of 63 NPR reporters, 63 are democrats Not one Republican

With troopers like Edith Chapin jumping ship immediately, how can you lose? 😂 Try hiring fewer careerist scum bags and republicans in top positions who are there solely to hector you little piggies ever further right. You’ve been running scared since the W. Bush years and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

ROFL

Oh no! That's so sad! If only we could identify the people responsible for taking NPR's funding away. Perhaps they have something in common we could use to characterize them? A political party, perhaps?
