PBS has joined NPR in quitting Elon Musk’s Twitter after the social media network labelled both organizations as “government-backed media.”
Bloomberg reports that PBS has decided to stop using Twitter after the social media platform referred to both it and NPR as “government-backed media.” “PBS stopped tweeting from our account when we learned of the change and we have no plans to resume at this time,” said PBS spokesman Jason Phelps in an email. “We are continuing to monitor the ever-changing situation closely.”

Good, nice move. They are legacy media, and were never serious about reporting facts. Good riddance to trash.

Probably not a ‘Radio’ either.
I believe that their live on-the-scene Ukraine reports are actually performed in a conference room in Boston, NYC or DC. Each voice has a seat at the table, with microphone and script. Special effects guys provide the booms, screams and animal noises. Others provide helicopter sounds, wind, rain, whatever is required for the scene.

That’s great... but as a taxpayer, how do I stop funding PBS/NPR’s leftist agitprop?
To: conservative98
No enumerated power for federal funding for those....

Government-backed media doesn't like being called government-backed media.
Who knew? Yet NHK (Japan) or BBC (UK) doesn't mind the label because it is accurate.
