Seattle NPR Station Says It Will No Longer Carry Donald Trump’s Coronavirus Briefings Live Because Of Misinformation

I want to hear what trump has to sa
Then you will tune to a different channel and stop whining.
I will tune to a diiferent channel but my hostility toward NPR grows

how clueless of liberals to deny that NPR are welfare bums while pelosi holds up the Wuhan virus spending bill if public broadcasting is not included in the funding
 
An NPR station in Seattle said that it no longer will carry live coverage of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus briefings because of concerns that they feature unchecked misleading or false information.

KUOW is monitoring White House briefings for the latest news on the coronavirus — and we will continue to share all news relevant to Washington State with our listeners,” the station tweeted. “However, we will not be airing the briefings live due to a pattern of false or misleading information provided that cannot be fact checked in real time.”

Most recently, Trump has called for lifting of social distancing guidelines in the near future, perhaps by Easter, even though public health professionals are still grappling with the spread of the virus. He also has made false claims about the availability of tests, the timeline for finding a vaccine and the potential benefits of a treatment that includes the ingredient chloroquine. While there is some promising study of its potential use, it has not it has not been approved for treatment. NBC News reported on one Arizona man who died after ingesting chloroquine phosphate, and his wife said that they learned about its use after watching a briefing. The chloroquine they used was part of a product use to clean fish tanks, not for medical purposes.
Once again, whatever Trump says, the idiots on this board parrot, word for word.

Common sense, on the other hand, dictates if the spread of Covid19 increases with exposure to other people, avoid other people.

Seems simple enough, even for trumpers.

Maybe not. trumpers are not too bright.
NPR is a Communist network and should be precluded from getting any of our tax dollars for reporting the 'news.' Fuck them. Don't contribute to them and their fake funding drives either. It's all a sham. Unless you like a particular music program which is what they should broadcast 24/7, They are shamefully deficient in reporting 'news.'

Once AGAIN --- twenty-first time now ---- THIS IS NOT A STORY ABOUT NPR. AT ALL.

Furthermore NPR does not run fund drives. But it does provide the ONLY comprehensive national news service on radio.

Prove me wrong about any of the above.

ONLY IDIOTS make the claim that NPR and PBS are communist networks. It's not that they are using the RED SCARE as propaganda, for what they claim is so stupid no one who ever watched PBS or listened to NPR believes them, it's a comment made by those who have never watched or listened to Public Radio.

The Conservative movement ever since Goldwater ran for POTUS has hated PBS and NPR for one reason alone, it reports facts in rebuttal to fake news, meme's and propaganda, from all sides of the issues.

For those who doubt this, tune in. You will learn many things if you become a regular listener of NPR.



The Conservative movement ever since Goldwater ran for POTUS has hated PBS and NPR for one reason alone, it reports facts in rebuttal to fake news

it reports only one side of the story - the liberal globalist worshiping side of every story

Again, twenty-fourth time now ---- nothing in this story is about NPR.

NPR would be the SUPPLIER that delivers the press conference. There is no "side" to a live audio feed. There is no "worship" in it either. It's a FUCKING AUDIO FEED.

Yes they omit that which might uphold a conservative viewpoint.

And yes, thank you, nor is there a friggin' "viewpoint".

Your ignorance is only superseded by your arrogance. And this thread has evolved into "about the NPR"; another example of promulgating your ignorance. It is not about Welfare, another stupid comment coming from you, and other biddable fools.

AFDC no longer exists, TANF replaced it when Pres. Clinton signed the bill killing what the form of aid which you claim is, "bums sucking on the government teat". I'm not sure if your comment is based on willful ignorance or you being easily led by Limbaugh and other propagandists - in either case you are wrong and are one more callous conservative with no moral compass.

No one accused NPR of collecting food stamps

they get their welfare in folding money directly to the network
 
Irrelevant here. KUOW is not "government funded".

VOA is though. Radio/TV Marti is. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is. And they have gihugic transmitters here in North Cackalackee, which I toured recently, so there is literally a place for government funded media. It's quite the sprawling complex, with yuge buildings and acres of antennas.

You'll be happy to know they are sleeping the half-gigawatt xmtrs because they just cost too damn much to run. That's at least SOME of your tax dollars "saved" eh?

Back in the 1918 pandemic, the one commonly but erroneously called the "Spanish" Flu, and the one that killed Rump's grandfather, this country did indeed have a Ministry of Information, euphemistically called the Committee for Public Information, which did indeed publish newsletters like this

file-20170421-12629-pzcyrw-wr.jpg


and crank out an endless stream of lying propaganda news releases to flood newspapers, the medium of the time, and more importantly to censor, in tandem with the Sedition Act of 1918, news of the pandemic's existence, thus living thousands upon thousands to die, unprotected.

THAT is what government media looks like. And we should note, what government censorship looks like as well.

But that's in no way related here. KUOW is licensed to the University of Washington and supported by its listeners with augmented corporate underwriting. It isn't run by the government. So go sell shit somewhere else, I know better and I'll say so.

Shame Henry. You either don't know about all this and are purporting to, in which case you're a fraud, or you do know about all this and are deliberately lying about it, in which case you're a fraud.

Absolutely NO government funding from any level. No federal money. No state money. No county money. No city, town or village money. No money from state operated institutions of "education" or indoctrination. Only voluntary contributions from actual humans. No union money. NO corporate money.

Of course that would dash your aspirations of being Propaganda Minister....
No thanks. We need public radio and television.

And we need it more that most "developed" nations that do a FAR better job of it than we do. Deutsche Welle in Germany. NHK in Japan. Even CBC in Canada. It's a common conventional wisdom that the reason so much of the better parts of the public radio we do have comes from Minnesota and Wisconsin and New York, is that those places are close enough to Canada to hear what real public broadcasting can sound like. But the Cult of Ignorance propagandists like Henry here with his inchoate verb-free drooling don't want nunna that thar lurrnin' goin' on. Edumacated public on the public's dime? No no, that thar's danjerus and shit.
NPR is a joke
Don't watch it or listen to it. Don't expect you donate to it. Our local radio is completely supported by the listening public. No joke.
PBS including NPR receive federal tax money
Ventura County's public radio station does not receive a dime in federal funding. KCLU FM.
KMA
The station in question on this thread is KUOW 94.9FM in Seattle

any station that is part of PBS gets federal funding either directly or indirectly

public radio and tv is just that - government subsidized

WRONG, dickhead.

PBS is TELEVISION, Shit4brains. Public broadcasting (radio OR TV) does NOT get automatic government subsidy. What makes it 'public' is that it does not get commercial subsidy either.

PROVE ME WRONG, Dickhead.
Check out www.mto.com. The "O" in that name is a friend of mine. Check out his bio.

I'm not the least interested in stupid people's bios.
Wow. Are you kidding? Stupid? I now get the feeling that your head is so far up your ass, you haven't seen the light of day in quite a while.

"Olson is a director of Berkshire Hathaway,[3] Edison International, City National Corporation, The Washington Post Company, and Western Asset Trusts. He serves as a director of several non-profits, including the RAND Corporation (formerly chair), the Mayo Clinic, the Council of Foreign Relations, Southern California Public Radio (formerly chair), and the California Institute of Technology. He was Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Claremont University Center and Graduate School from 1984-94."


Okay I have no clue in the world what any of this has to do with this thread or who the hell "Ronald Olson" is.

Thats liberal welfare bums trying to suppress speech that they dont like

Guess this has to be explained to knuckledraggers ---- opting not to carry something LIVE is not in any way the same as "suppressing".

What a dumbass.

Say, aren't you the same deep intellect who tried to tell us that a reporter who would not lie about what he witnessed comprised "stupidity"? How'd that ever work out? Figure your own point out yet?

Still waiting on that. Any year now.
once again you ignore the substance of the issue,,,they want to ban the live broadcast and later edit out anything they dont like or disagree with,,,
your credibility is shot bud so go get more cookies from your mom,,,

Once again you fail to be able to read. Nobody "banned" anything.
The welfare bums at NPR banned live coverage of the trump china virus press conference

all the public will hear from NPR is what they want you to hear

BULLSHIT ^^^; written by someone who has never once listened to NPR's programming, or if s/he did, s/he didn't listen without bias.
I have been listening to the calm, melodious voices of the snobs at NPR for many years

because its wise to hear what the enemy has to say

My take away with your comment is you find truth to be your enemy.
NPR is not THE TRUTH

they are just lib partisans with a leftwing agenda
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand let's make it 25 times now...........


THIS IS NOT A STORY ABOUT NPR.

NEVER WAS.

NEVER WILL BE.

Guess we'll just keep putting that up until it sinks in through the density...
And I still see through your denial just as well as before

Then go ahead and try to articulate it, Dingo.

STILL waiting for your explanation of how declining to join in a false made-up crap story constitutes "stupidity".
 
NO, it's about a Seattle STATION. I should know, I wrote it.

There is no such thing as a "Seattle NPR". There is only one NPR, it is a national program service, and it's based in Washington DC, not Washington state. It does not broadcast.
Nice try but I am not as gullible as you are

do you still deny that they are welfare bums sucking on the government teat?

Who? NPR? That national network that AS YOU KNOW has nothing to do with this story?

No Virginia, public services are not "welfare". Your highways and electric grid and internet and fire department and mail delivery and military and coordinating agencies including, prominently, the CDC, are not "welfare" unless you mean the "Welfare" of the Preamble to the Constitution.

But perhaps we should define our terms. Since we know you already define declining to join in with a fake news story as "stupidity", and you will not retract from that definition, let's hear what the fuck you think "welfare" is. Oughta be hilarious.

Oh and when you've "done" that :rofl: come back and essplain to the class what the fuck ANY of it has to do with this thread about a Seattle radio station.

This country in fact did exactly that with the so-called "Spanish" (from Kansas) Flu pandemic in 1918.

Oh wait, that was the Capitalists. Britain and France and Germany were doing the same thing, hence the name "Spanish", from the affected country that wasn't lying about it.

Still not clear on what economic systems have to do with government propaganda. :dunno:

KUOW 94.9FM in Seattle, one of the first epicenters of the US Coronavirus outbreak, has discontinued live broadcasts of White House Coronavirus briefings due to the massive pattern of disinformation therein.

Station statement March 25 (in part):

>> After airing the White House briefings live for two weeks, a pattern of false information and exaggeration increasingly had many at KUOW questioning whether these briefings were in the best service of our mission—to create and serve a more informed public. Of even greater concern was the potential impact of false information on the health and safety of our community.​
A sampling of exaggerations and false information that were not fact checked in real time:​
● “Nobody knew there’d be a pandemic or an epidemic of this proportion,” President Trump said at a live White House briefing on March 19 despite warnings from the U.S. Intelligence community earlier this year.​
● “You’re seeing very few empty shelves,” our listeners heard live from President Trump on March 20. Local reporting shows many stores are out of basic supplies, including hand soap.​
● We’re going to be able to make the drug chloroquine “available almost immediately” said President Trump on March 19.

KUOW 94.9FM in Seattle, one of the first epicenters of the US Coronavirus outbreak, has discontinued live broadcasts of White House Coronavirus briefings due to the massive pattern of disinformation therein.

Station statement March 25 (in part):

>> After airing the White House briefings live for two weeks, a pattern of false information and exaggeration increasingly had many at KUOW questioning whether these briefings were in the best service of our mission—to create and serve a more informed public. Of even greater concern was the potential impact of false information on the health and safety of our community.​
A sampling of exaggerations and false information that were not fact checked in real time:​
● “Nobody knew there’d be a pandemic or an epidemic of this proportion,” President Trump said at a live White House briefing on March 19 despite warnings from the U.S. Intelligence community earlier this year.​
● “You’re seeing very few empty shelves,” our listeners heard live from President Trump on March 20. Local reporting shows many stores are out of basic supplies, including hand soap.​
● We’re going to be able to make the drug chloroquine “available almost immediately” said President Trump on March 19. The president claimed, incorrectly, that the FDA had fast-tracked approval of its use to treat COVID-19. There isn't current medical evidence of the efficacy of that drug in treating COVID-19.​

All of them in the sample, and the third is what constitutes a hoax. It has already killed people.

As pointed out yesterday, while a broadcast station's license, as a public trust, prohibits it from disseminating a hoax, the President, sworn in as a public trust, is under no such prohibition.
 
An NPR station in Seattle said that it no longer will carry live coverage of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus briefings because of concerns that they feature unchecked misleading or false information.

KUOW is monitoring White House briefings for the latest news on the coronavirus — and we will continue to share all news relevant to Washington State with our listeners,” the station tweeted. “However, we will not be airing the briefings live due to a pattern of false or misleading information provided that cannot be fact checked in real time.”

Most recently, Trump has called for lifting of social distancing guidelines in the near future, perhaps by Easter, even though public health professionals are still grappling with the spread of the virus. He also has made false claims about the availability of tests, the timeline for finding a vaccine and the potential benefits of a treatment that includes the ingredient chloroquine. While there is some promising study of its potential use, it has not it has not been approved for treatment. NBC News reported on one Arizona man who died after ingesting chloroquine phosphate, and his wife said that they learned about its use after watching a briefing. The chloroquine they used was part of a product use to clean fish tanks, not for medical purposes.
Once again, whatever Trump says, the idiots on this board parrot, word for word.

Common sense, on the other hand, dictates if the spread of Covid19 increases with exposure to other people, avoid other people.

Seems simple enough, even for trumpers.

Maybe not. trumpers are not too bright.
Cut their funding.

All trumpers are not original thinkers, most of them echo what their handlers tell them what to believe. That said, the trumper who wrote, "Cut their funding" is a dimwit, a wit below halfwit and well below not too bright.

incorrect.

no one trusts the “intelligence” community. Are they the ones who submitted false reports to FISA?

secondly there are no empty shelves here yet.

and what makes you think the drug is not readily available? Isn’t it a common malarial drug?

This is sad. Now most networks are now rethinking covering trump's briefings. They cut away from last night's briefing just after trump spewed more false and dangerous lies about the virus.

I've never seen any TV network do this. They always cover the president. This president is different. What he spews can and has already gotten people killed.

It's the best for our nation to not have trump spewing lies about this deadly virus.

I wish we had a president who didn't lie to such a dangerous extent as trump.

Oh look, the news media playing into Trumps narrative that they are political hacks. Who would have thunk it.


The major networks do more to get Trump elected than Trump does himself and act as though they do not know this.

Thats liberal welfare bums trying to suppress speech that they dont like

Guess this has to be explained to knuckledraggers ---- opting not to carry something LIVE is not in any way the same as "suppressing".

What a dumbass.

Say, aren't you the same deep intellect who tried to tell us that a reporter who would not lie about what he witnessed comprised "stupidity"? How'd that ever work out? Figure your own point out yet?

Still waiting on that. Any year now.
once again you ignore the substance of the issue,,,they want to ban the live broadcast and later edit out anything they dont like or disagree with,,,
your credibility is shot bud so go get more cookies from your mom,,,

Once again you fail to be able to read. Nobody "banned" anything.
The welfare bums at NPR banned live coverage of the trump china virus press conference

all the public will hear from NPR is what they want you to hear

BULLSHIT ^^^; written by someone who has never once listened to NPR's programming, or if s/he did, s/he didn't listen without bias.
I have been listening to the calm, melodious voices of the snobs at NPR for many years

because its wise to hear what the enemy has to say

My take away with your comment is you find truth to be your enemy.
NPR is not THE TRUTH

they are just lib partisans with a leftwing agenda
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand let's make it 25 times now...........


THIS IS NOT A STORY ABOUT NPR.

NEVER WAS.

NEVER WILL BE.

Guess we'll just keep putting that up until it sinks in through the density...
And I still see through your denial just as well as before

Then go ahead and try to articulate it, Dingo.

STILL waiting for your explanation of how declining to join in a false made-up crap story constitutes "stupidity".
You’re still fighting the last battle

and begging me to join you

but I’m having none of it

censorship by the welfare bums at NPR is the subject of this thread
 
NO, it's about a Seattle STATION. I should know, I wrote it.

There is no such thing as a "Seattle NPR". There is only one NPR, it is a national program service, and it's based in Washington DC, not Washington state. It does not broadcast.
Nice try but I am not as gullible as you are

do you still deny that they are welfare bums sucking on the government teat?

Who? NPR? That national network that AS YOU KNOW has nothing to do with this story?

No Virginia, public services are not "welfare". Your highways and electric grid and internet and fire department and mail delivery and military and coordinating agencies including, prominently, the CDC, are not "welfare" unless you mean the "Welfare" of the Preamble to the Constitution.

But perhaps we should define our terms. Since we know you already define declining to join in with a fake news story as "stupidity", and you will not retract from that definition, let's hear what the fuck you think "welfare" is. Oughta be hilarious.

Oh and when you've "done" that :rofl: come back and essplain to the class what the fuck ANY of it has to do with this thread about a Seattle radio station.
NPR is not a public service to the nation

only to the soft-spoken clowns in the network who would be unemployed if not for government subsidies

It isn't the availability that's a lie. It's the "already been approved" lie.
I know it's hard to keep track of so many lies. Hope this helps.

Nothing in here is about "FISA".

The major networks do more to get Trump elected than Trump does himself and act as though they do not know this.

This is where the site erroneously merged different and unrelated threads, yet they are sort-of related in that the story in both cases (TV and the radio station) was that both discontinued carrying live feeds due to the plethora of dangerously false information therein. That's it, nothing to do with "politics".

I've noted elsewhere in this thread repeatedly that it's literally illegal for a radio station to broadcast a hoax, and the same applies to TV stations. They are, among other things, covering their legal bases. Broadcasters are granted licenses to serve their audiences in the public, and some of that public has already died directly as a result of some of these live feeds, so while they can plausibly say they didn't know what the feed was going to say, they can no longer say they don't see the pattern. These are acts of responsibility.

Your last line is absolutely correct, and both of these stories are examples to its contrary.

Hey, you sat on this board and claimed that the REFUSAL to join in a fake made-up story was "stupidity".
YOUR term, Bubbles. And there's no getting away from it.

What I said above was yet another such challenge, to show us where this alleged "denial" is.
Just like the "stupidity" SNAFU, you can't do it. It doesn't exist. Because, for the 27th time,

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING STORY ABOUT NPR.

I don't care how the fuck much you wish it were ------------- IT AIN'T.
