Pull their license. Their listeners would be better off with dead air.

Well-They’re not really ‘journalists’ are they?

Due to the Coronavirus (that originated in China BtW), and that could potentially kill millions of American citizens, and Sanctuary non-citizens alike. It is unfortunately necessary to defund ALL non essential Government funded entities.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
But not really.
SUCK IT NPR and PBS!

Probably on orders from the dyke mayor of Havana on the Sound (Seattle) who has a permanent grimace on her hideous face and truly hates America.

This presents a perfect reason to defund NPR now.

I stopped supporting them around 1979 when I turned 25. Coincidentally that is about the same age the human brain has completed it’s development.

Since NPR is a wholly owned propaganda machine for the Democrats, let the DNC pay for them.

Your tax dollars NOT at work.

Trump needs to defund all public TV and radio. They are as useless as wings on an elephant.

The title leaves out the “that can’t be fact checked in real time.” If that was their true reasoning, they could simply air the briefing once they “fact check” everybody. This forum is simply an effective forum for him to upend their narrative. Geeze, the guy, with minimal stroking and politicizing, usually only gives government action updates and fields questions before ceding the mic to Birx, Fauci, etc who also have information the American people are interested in. Are. they all liars?

"...a pattern of false or misleading information..."

Hmmm... Where is their specific list of "false or misleading" statements... Let's have a look at them so we can verify them as falsehoods or anything else...

Of course I'm just a doddering old MAGA fool, but it seems to me that having all these falsehoods exposed through the live coverage for all to see would be a communists wet dream...

“ Seattle’s NPR station won’t air White House briefings because of “a pattern of false or misleading information””

Based upon the opinion of taxpayer funded National Propaganda Radio.

Yes, NPR stations have a pattern of false and misleading information, but this has never stopped them before.

These NPR creeps must read the much-admired (and often discredited) WaPo “media columnist” Margaret Sullivan who the other day demanded media stop covering the President’s daily coronavirus briefings:
Trump is doing harm and spreading misinformation while working for his own partisan political benefit — a naked attempt to portray himself as a wartime president bravely leading the nation through a tumultuous time, the FDR of the 21st century.
The persecution of DJT never stops.

The anti American communist autocratic bastards should be taken off of the air, yesterday.

They have no right to sensor our president.

Hitler would be so proud of them.
