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

[HenryBHough]

The KCLU radio station is owned by a privately owned college, Cal Lutheran University. Keep barking.

California Lutheran University - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

What part of "State University" do you find so challenging?

No question about KCLU being a private (not "State") university. But the "CLU" park could be taken to mean "clue" as well as the stated intent. It could also be taken to mean "Civil Liberties Union", hence left-wing. But I wouldn't know, never having heard it. Just point out the obvious possible variations.

 

[Pogo]

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

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

It's not a joke that Republicans have been trying to rid of public media. They are the joke. And so misinformed.

I am proud to say I have supported cutting off PBS from federal funding for many years

Did you also support cutting off the USAGM? It's a hell of a lot more money.

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.

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.

 

[Pogo]

Here's an interesting irony ---

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 73, well-known and required reading to/by any broadcaster, reads:

§ 73.1217 Broadcast hoaxes
No licensee or permittee of any broadcast station shall broadcast false information concerning a crime or a catastrophe if:

(a) The licensee knows this information is false;​

​

(b) It is forseeable that broadcast of the information will cause substantial public harm, and​

​

(c) Broadcast of the information does in fact directly cause substantial public harm.​

​

Any programming accompanied by a disclaimer will be presumed not to pose foreseeable harm if the disclaimer clearly characterizes the program as a fiction and is presented in a way that is reasonable under the circumstances.

Note:
For purposes of this rule, “public harm” must begin immediately, and cause direct and actual damage to property or to the health or safety of the general public, or diversion of law enforcement or other public health and safety authorities from their duties. The public harm will be deemed foreseeable if the licensee could expect with a significant degree of certainty that public harm would occur. A “crime” is any act or omission that makes the offender subject to criminal punishment by law. A “catastrophe” is a disaster or imminent disaster involving violent or sudden event affecting the public.
[57 FR 28640, June 26, 1992]


-- while the station (any station, radio or TV) is legally prohibited (as a condition of its license as a public trust) from disseminating a hoax.......... the President of the United States, also legally bound as a public trust, is not.

Here, of course, the station is simply protecting itself, having to maintain higher standards than the Presidency.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

No, they don't "advertise". It would actually be illegal to do so. It's licensed as a nomcommercial station.

They do funding drives exactly for the reason I just laid out --- listener donations. That's the entire POINT. And no, the only reason they're on the air is NOT government funding, it's listener funding, support from the University and the fact that a local community group runs it. They've been on the air since the Truman Administration. And finally NONE of what they do "makes them lose money". It's not even related, other than they have to pay for some of that national programming.

pogo, I didn't intend for my post to be anything more than humorous [NPR as a welfare program]...I like NPR, I like its ideas and goals and was financially supportive during the Clinton administration when the "seed-money" was in jeopardy...I was just mocking its claim of dropping the presser for the reason stated.

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.

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

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.

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

Yes they omit that which might uphold a conservative viewpoint.

No reason to confuse the inferiors with more than one idea

You've certainly demonstrated that.

Why don't you go back to your older unfinished business and essplain to the class how NOT going along with a made-up bullshit story constitutes "stupidity". It's your post Doodles. Justify it.

 

[Mac-7]

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

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

It's not a joke that Republicans have been trying to rid of public media. They are the joke. And so misinformed.

I am proud to say I have supported cutting off PBS from federal funding for many years

Did you also support cutting off the USAGM? It's a hell of a lot more money.

Of course not

we use VOA to broadcast into dictatorships that have only state run media

VOA IS state-run media, dickhead. And it's entirely government-funded.

But it's telling that it took you an hour to figure out what the USAGM is.

Save the dickhead for your mouth

but I forget,

you’re a liberal so the idea of a dick in your mouth is just business as usual

But it's telling that it took you an hour to figure out what the USAGM is.

whoa, you may not have a life so nothing else going on, but I do so

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.

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".

Dont lose what little cool you have left

NPR is not Pravda, even though they may wish they were

we dont need it to filter trump wihan virus daily briefing through their filter

but they are trying to persuade rather than inform
