A good example of MSM (NYT) manipulating a story for political narrative.

A coalition of liberal philanthropic organizations has pledged a combined $50 million to help rescue local NPR and PBS stations facing financial crisis due to recent federal funding cuts, the Washington Free Beacon reports. The initiative comes after Congress approved President Donald Trump’s rescission bill, which will cut approximately $500 million in federal funding to public broadcasting over the next two years. The networks have long been criticized for left-leaning bias in their programs, despite receiving federal funding for decades, including about $535 million in the current fiscal year.
Philanthropic leaders, including the Knight Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Schmidt Family Foundation, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, are mobilizing emergency funds through what is being called the Public Media Bridge Fund. The Knight Foundation alone has reportedly committed $10 million toward this effort, which aims to distribute aid before the year’s end. The MacArthur Foundation is also making a separate $10 million contribution to bolster the sector.
According to the Free Beacon, “many of the philanthropic groups pledging support have come under fire for bankrolling controversial left-wing causes over the years. The Knight Foundation, for example, is a major backer of liberal media watchdog NewsGuard. The foundation also donated $5 million to establish a journalism chair at Howard University filled by Nikole Hannah-Jones, the creator of the Times’s widely criticized 1619 Project. The Ford Foundation, which has given more than $2 million to Chinese universities, also donated to the chair.”
The MacArthur Foundation also reportedly “provided a $625,000 grant in 2021 to activist Ibram X. Kendi, who has argued that race-blind policies are racist and that the United States is an inherently racist country.”
Additionally, the Free Beacon reports that “both the MacArthur and Ford Foundations have also donated millions to HistoryMakers, a nonprofit where Elias Rodriguez, the anti-Israel activist accused of murdering two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., worked until 2024.”
Leaders of this philanthropic effort are urging rapid action, noting that public media serves a vital role in many communities. However, they acknowledge this support cannot replace consistent federal funding indefinitely.

One benefit of ending scurrilous taxpayer funded grants to low life organizations is forcing them out into the light.

Liars lie, and the media is a bunch of liars in the bag for the communist democrats.
Of course when the obama, Clinton, and Delaware State Vegetable adminstiration were paying them to tell their lies, with our money thru USAID, it got to be even easier.

My theory on why most of the “protestors” who turn out now so feebly for the left are old: They’re the only people left who don’t use the internet, and so still get all their “news” from mainstream TV media and NYT. Poor things. They’re living in an alternative universe.

There's nothing worse than a female, old Hippie, with their old, submissive, ex-Hippie cuck husband in tow. They're screaming while the husband stands there. I've seen many of them at anti (legal) gun rallies.

Many are paid. There simply aren’t enough actual concerned people willing to protest. So these old folk are out making a few bucks cash as the extra money is nice and they don’t have anything to do otherwise.
Since Trump cut off the money source for the communist they now have to rely on donors and that number is dwindling.
Just look around when there are “protest”. Where are the huge crowds? I mean after all, the propaganda media wants us to believe this is a “majority” protest.

Don’t leave out, “I bet conservative news maybe did that too.”

The New York Slimes undermines the military special ops by disclosing supposed details. Of course this article is meant to smear the President.
And they wonder why the administration locks out the media when any discussions of military operations are underway. They truly hate our country.

A group of Navy SEALs emerged from the ink-black ocean on a winter night in early 2019 and crept to a rocky shore in North Korea. They were on a top secret mission so complex and consequential that everything had to go exactly right.
The objective was to plant an electronic device that would let the United States intercept the communications of North Korea’s reclusive leader, Kim Jong-un, amid high-level nuclear talks with President Trump.
The mission had the potential to provide the United States with a stream of valuable intelligence. But it meant putting American commandos on North Korean soil — a move that, if detected, not only could sink negotiations but also could lead to a hostage crisis or an escalating conflict with a nuclear-armed foe.

But it is so cool that the United States would undertake such a mission. Unthinkable under the FJB or Obama administrations.

Whoever leaked any of that should be found and held for treason. Because that is what it is.
Now, there are probably very few facts there and a whole lot of made up bullshit. But still, it undermines our defense.

Agreed. There was a time when the press was actually FOR the USA. Now it's publish anything that casts shit on it and weakens it.

We know Trump is two or three steps ahead of them, so I wonder if it wasn't intentional -- to expose either the MSM or the leaker.
