No fawning coverage of Thunberg’s activism from the Times this time. No Hollywood big shot saying that he hoped her trip would “spark a movement.”

i wish people could become aware of how much the nyt and npr are propaganda mouthpieces for the status quo.

I wouldn’t combine NYT and NPR in the same category. NPR has been broadcasting a lot of stories about Israeli attacks on Gaza civilians in both their news and long form podcasts.

they carried the exact same fentyanl kitchen story that the nyt did and among a multitude of other manufactured narratives and consent stories.

N(ice) P(olite) R(epublicans) have been mainlining Cato, AEI, and Heritage Foundation spokespeople into the national discourse since the Bush Era, at least.

This has gone hand-in-hand with the erosion of public funding and the increased reliance on private mega-donors to keep the network afloat. This is well documented. The network is beholden to its biggest donors in the exact same way privately financed political campaigns are used to influence legislation and judicial action.

A direct transcript, in which NPR Asks a Starving Palestinian Living On Rubble to Denounce Hamas, Co-Sign his Own Ethnic Cleansing

Where do you see heritage foundation in that? Who are the people?

Considering you're a known troll, and none of those links highlight anything other than a commercial and yes Hamas sucks...
