TBH it’s been frustrating to see how watered down the reporting has been this year.
Listening to KQED (local NPR affiliate) I was hearing taking heads from the CATO institute and the Heritage Foundation, without any qualifications of what those orgs are.
You can really feel the slide into milquetoast, neutered, both-sides press from every major outlet and the domestic landscape, but it’s still a head above trying to get your news from CNN/CNBC/MSNBC/WaPo.
I can’t fathom people on this platform being offended by how left-wing the people’s Media has been though, historically, when NPR/PBS have gone out of their way to be so damned neutral and nakedly honest in their coverage, and have proceed ACTUAL journalism in even remote corners of our country.
People should be deeply grateful for NPR, and PBS has been a national treasure. I still can’t believe we defunded Sesame Street and at the same time that anyone has an axe to grind with the only unbiased reporting left in our nation.
Thanks for the link.
Unrelated, welcome to Lemmy.
There’s no putting the toothpaste back in the tube. Kinda just buckling up and wondering what the new normal will look like, but the feeling of hopelessness is increasingly pervasive.
Evidently not, given the rise of PLTR … They are just fine with the unaccountable murders and totalitarianism, so we all get to be, too.
Huawei was uniquely, specifically, forced out of the US market around the time they were completing for 5G Tower standards.
Frustrating, because we really need both.
My transaction sending a small amount of cash to a personal friend in Australia exited my account just fine, but failed to materialize in theirs today.
I wonder if it’s affecting specifically Australia, because they were unable to open their own new account today for some kind of rate limiting or velocity timeout.
Like if Wise have some microservice or compliance API calls failing for Australia markets specifically, that could explain these three failings that you’d expect headlines talking about a countrywide outage affecting that significant of a market.
Article says that she was dead for a week before he succumbed to a combination of his heart attack and Alzheimer’s?!?
That’s … I’m going to need some clarity in that bit.
It looks like this bot is continuously piping in YCombinator articles …
Interesting read – can I ask how it relates to hackers? I feel I’m missing the connection.
Or is a bot just piping YCombinator articles into Lemmy?
That’s kind of my point. The bias is laid bare and I vious for those that listen. NPR did the very best at sharing information while fighting hard to stay neutral, AND kept listeners and viewers informed.
They’ll continue their mission, but many smaller affiliate stations that only have Sinclair media broadcasting in their neck of the woods are going to be moderately more screwed than they already were, with more conservative agitprop pretty much occupying their airwaves.
