its an NPR station that engaged in a publicity stunt to bash trumpThat means nothingHurling personal insults will not win this argument for youWhat kind of station?I’m sorry to hear about your misfortune of merged threadsSorry Pogo but I am on subjectI am not going to let you change the subjectYou’re still fighting the last battleAnd I still see through your denial just as well as beforeAaaaaaaaaaaaand let's make it 25 times now...........NPR is not THE TRUTHI have been listening to the calm, melodious voices of the snobs at NPR for many yearsThe welfare bums at NPR banned live coverage of the trump china virus press conferenceonce 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,,,Thats liberal welfare bums trying to suppress speech that they dont likeOnce again, whatever Trump says, the idiots on this board parrot, word for word.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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
they are just lib partisans with a leftwing agenda
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...
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".
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
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.
Correct, I am not going to let you change the subject. Which was my fucking thread in the first place.
And which is not "NPR", has never been "NPR" and will never be "NPR".
So you're running away the same way you ran away from your "stupidity" boner.
A pattern I see.
According to YOUR headline at the beginning of this thread NPR is suppressing the news by refusing to air trump’s daily pandemic response press conference live
Once again THAT IS NOT MY HEADLINE. My headline, which was quite clever, was wiped out when the site decided to merge different threads. It said nothing about NPR because NPR has no involvement here.
But even in the headline we have, once you learn to READ you'll see that "NPR" is an adjective, not a noun. The subject of the headline is "station". NPR is the supplier of that particular news feed, among many other things. It simply makes them available. NOTHING has changed in that. They still make those live feeds, and all their other programming, available. It's on a satellite channel that individual STATIONS choose to either import and broadcast, or not. It's there right now.
The STATION, which IS what the topic is about, specifically KUOW in Seattle, opted to stop carrying the LIVE feed. Not the news of it, just the live feed. And it issued a statement about it explaining that it -- KUOW -- was doing that, and why.
That's why the statement FROM THAT STATION, KUOW, HAS THEIR NAME ON IT. It is not an NPR statement. It is a KUOW statement. That's also why it links to the STATION SITE, kuow.org. NPR does not own or operate KUOW or tell it what to program. Never did, never will. Any station that chooses to, still runs the live White House feeds, BECAUSE IT'S STILL THERE AND WAS ALWAYS STILL THERE.
Imagine, in your tiny little mind, that CBS, which is a NETWORK NOT A STATION, was broadcasting the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour on Sundays, and one week they had Pete Seeger as a guest appearing for the first time in decades since he was censored by the John Birch right wingers because he raises questions. Now imagine your little TV station in Bumfuck Alabama decides not to air that program, lest the audience hear what's really going on. CBS STILL RUNS THE PROGRAM, it's only your little Bumfuck station that doesn't CARRY it. It's the station's decision, not the network's.
So ONCE AGAIN, for the 28th time.....
THIS IS *NOT* A STORY ABOUT NPR. THIS IS A STORY ABOUT KUOW.
but like it or not this is the headline for this thread:
Seattle NPR Station Says It Will No Longer Carry Donald Trump’s Coronavirus Briefings Live Because Of Misinformation
NO SHIT SHERLOCK. AND WHAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THAT SENTENCE?????????? Station.
What is the verb? "Carry". What "carries", a station or a network????
You didn't even read past the first fucking line, did you. Get your teacher to explain it to you, I'm not licensed to work with RETARDS.
a welfare baby NPR station
A PUBLIC station. A station that was already 18 years old when NPR first came into existence. A station supported by its listenership. And a station licensed by the FCC, one requirement of which is that it's probibited from broadcasting hoaxes.
NPR, you babbling moron, is a PROGRAM SERVICE. It supplies various programs for national broadcast, prominently news, also cultural, documentary and entertainment including music. It is **ONE** source of programming, another similar one being PRI, another one being independent contractors anywhere, another one being its own local talent. The STATION mixes those various sources to form its PROGRAMMING.
NPR does not broadcast anything. NPR has no station. NPR supplies a feed, just as others supply their feeds. NOTHING IN ANYBODY"S FEEDS HAS CHANGED, fucking idiot.
its an NPR station acting like a dictatorship that is afraid of its own listeners
it thinks the public is too stupid to listen and make up its own mind
so the welfare bums at that station will tell you what to think
NPR OWNS NO STATIONS. PERIOD.
Additionally, there is no "argument" to win. The fact that KUOW is a station is just that, a FUCKING FACT AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. And yes, intentional shitheaded ignorance WILL earn you insults, Count on it.
Don't want 'em? Then quit acting like a FUCKING RETARD.
What a job. Get paid to act like a fucking retard.... SMGDFH
the station is part of the NPR network
--- which means they have NPR programming available, just as they have PRI programming available, just as they have independent producer programming available, just as they have local programming available.
NPR took NO ACTION here. Because the story is not about NPR. Never has been, regardless how much you get paid to act like a stupid asshole.
but it failed
Public radio stations do not do "publicity stunts" nor do they "bash".
This one articulated its reasons. And the fact remains it's **ILLEGAL** for a broadcast licensee to broadcast a hoax. I posted the federal (CFR) regulation specifically in 271. It's protecting its listeners -- you know, the ones who PAY FOR IT --- from disinformation like what that Phoenix couple went through, and it's also covering its ass LEGALLY.
There's nothing you can do about any of that either.
