15·15 days agoTBH 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.
Yep, back to scoring the open web or being SEO’d into hellish sites that have six “DOWNLOAD” links, five of which are probable for syphilis.
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.
If trying bulk mail – explore USPS “EDDM” services for canvassing local ZIP codes for sub-letter pricing.
Huawei was uniquely, specifically, forced out of the US market around the time they were completing for 5G Tower standards.
I didn’t even know that they claim Chrome extensions will work, I simply use the Firefox extensions in Waterfox.
My browsing style is antiquated, my ADHD will only afford me about eight tabs per browser window and I usually have about four of those going at a time.
I aggressively kill tabs to save my own mental memory more than the machine’s memory.
For want of $100 /year Apple developer subscription , the libewolf team can’t sign binaries for Silicon M series Macs.
I spent an hour and a half trying to get librewolf to work, and just gave up for Waterfox instead.
On my laptop I run Firefox for some things, Watefox for others, and fall back to Chrome only as absolutely necessary when Gecko can’t get me there.
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.
