Beef on the hoof

You list NPR as your employer on LinkedIn; I think you represent them. I work for a health plan company called MotivHealth. Why do you ask? And why, in your coverage of media news (that includes NPR) didn’t you cover the denial of the TRO? And NPR’s determination to continue litigation?

While NPR wastes funds on lawsuits trying to block other entities from modernizing the infrastructure. Sad!

Maybe stop spending listener’s donations on ridiculous lawsuits.

Hey- how about a comment on NPR’s loss in court today?

Where’s the follow up?

And then what happened?

NPR dope-slapped in court today by a federal judge denying their spurious First Amendment claim against CPB. What a waste of time and money.

@chrisgeidner.bsky.social CPB and PMI prevailed in court today. Did not take long. Obama-appointed judge. Scorched-earth attorney Butrous takes the L.

Unserious person reporting in to say that the judge denied NPR’s request for a TRO about an hour ago. CPB and PMI prevailed today.

What a surprise. Now watch NPR double down on stupid and appeal.

Yes, he did.

I saw it this morning. Unbelievable.

Seriously? This is your content? What’s Maher doing? Tweeting? Gestating?

Deleted while I got the OK to engage further. MY point stands. If NPR did not think the grant process should have been opened, it should have said so then. Not after they lost. Because it is their insistence on linear broadcasting that lost them the grant. Dunk away.

Yes. srg.org/our-members

SRG is a coalition of 50-60 stations dedicated to preserving public media. KQED is one if them. NPR has had decades to develop infrastructure and has not, relying solely on linear broadcasting. The other entities are listed in the press release.

Competitive grant process. You lost. If you didn’t want to compete, why didn’t you file a motion to stop that?

NPR’s lawsuit against CPB’s award of a grant to PMI is without merit. The process was open, transparent, competitive. They lost to a broad coalition of progressive public radio stations with vision and talent who will sustain content delivery for years.

Your station, and dozens more, are represented by at least one of the entities in the winning coalition. SRG.

You got it right.

- something NPR has failed to do. And has no vision for.

There was an open, competitive process for this grant. If NPR didn’t like that, they should have sued to prevent it. Instead, they sued when they lost to a more progressive entity representing a broad coalition of public radio stations who will develop infrastructure beyond satellite -

You seem nice

Gotta be Comey

Who are we talking about?

Thank you for sharing

Maybe make a tin foil hat to cover your brain?

And public transit

She is doing excellent work here.
