    Guess it’s a good thing that NPR barely gets any funding from the federal or state governments then. All this does is get people to donate more to PBS and NPR.

        They got that fancy new law to kill non-profits that I’m sure would be useful.

      ‘people’ except what you end up with is billionaires and their foundations, so it ends up just being state propaganda with -fewer- steps

    Morons. They think ‘defund’ means ‘get rid of’ because they themselves can’t exist without grift and bailouts.

    NPR will probably respond to this by hiring 50 republicans and still get defunded

      Ah yes, and then have a 2 part series on how the Dems lost by pandering to the left, and how those values in society are long gone.

    I just cancelled my New York Times subscription and I’ll be sending that money to NPR now. The grey lady has become a corporate stooge anyway.

    I wish we could ban news of the USA from “global” news. There are enough communities for US news.

      Until tagging comes to Lemmy there isn’t much we can do. USA is part of the world so excluding them is not an option. And I would say the community has a healthy balance of news from the rest of the world, so it’s not just posts about the USA.

      Don’t forget, an important component of dictatorships is controlling the media

      Trump can simply encourage violence against their employees and make them untenable in other ways. Like bring them to court at one of his bribed justices to cost them money

      There’s lots of ways to kill a company in a way that isn’t obvious when you’re a dictator

      Just remember, Mafia bosses won’t tell you they’ll injure you. They use coercion and subtle threats

    NPR has an obvious liberal bias. Ive listened for over 20 years and it is the truth. It is what it is.

      Unfortunately, reality has a liberal bias these days

What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.


Rules

1. English only

Title and associated content has to be in English.

2. No social media posts

Avoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.

3. Respectful communication

All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.

4. Inclusivity

Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can’t argue your position without attacking a person’s character, you already lost the argument.

6. Off-topic tangents

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

7. Instance rules may apply

If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.
