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

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".
Dont lose what little cool you have left

NPR is not Pravda

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

but they are trying to persuade rather than inform
Luckily we can watch the press conferences ourselves and don't need NPR to tell US what was said.

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.

IT WILL CONTINUE TO NOT BE A STORY ABOUT NPR.
The OP is about a Seattle NPR.

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.
 
There is no such thing as a "Seattle NPR".
Correct. The stations which broadcast NPR programming purchase it "a la carte" and are not forced to broadcast any of it. The vast majority of the programming of these stations is locally produced. NPR makes exactly zero decisions for these affiliates.

But hey, facts aren't going to get in the way of a bunch of Trump cult fucks and their extra chromosomes.

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.

Defund NPR. Of course they will use taxpayer money to lobby against it.
 
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.

NPR Seattle is not going to run them live at all.

So was Trump right (again) in his tweet or what?
 
Defund NPR. Of course they will use taxpayer money to lobby against it.
The irony of you sheep throwing your fit is that this station is actually bucking NPR. NPR is showing live streams of the pressers, and this station is refusing to continue airing them. This station is refusing to broadcast NPR material.

Feel stupid yet?

One is forced to conclude that "DOTR" stands for Domain Of The Retard".
 
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."

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



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.
I will talk in your area of expertise... Coulda Woulda Shoulda but it aint.
 

There ya go.................NPR And Seattle are overrated.......LOL
 
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.


They may listen, but deny they ever did. Especially Science Friday.

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
