Am as proud of this project as anything I have even been involved with at @aspeninstitute.bsky.social. HUGE thank you to @pivotalventures.bsky.social Please spread the word. We want amazing applicants!

Big win for journalism.

I understand. And like you, I do not buy into the rationale put forward for the cuts. But in the end, journalism should not be funded by gov't dollars. The risk of politicization is just too great as we have seen in recent decades.

that's exactly the kind of fresh thinking we need!

Republicans who voted to eliminate all federal support for NPR, PBS & their member stations may or may not know how much their own constituents stand to lose. Former NPR President & CEO @vivianschiller.bsky.social joins me at 10a ET on why they should be aware of the magnitude of their vote. #Velshi

I talked about the publc radio cuts on MSNBC this morning. Now that the deed is done, it's time to turn the page and reimagine a governance system without federal funding and the bureaucractic Corporation for Public Braodcasting. We can come out of this stronger, and we will.

Indeed! A Joan or two would be a lifeline to NPR/public radio and allow the system to develop a new, more resilience govenrance system - without a Corporaton for Public Broadcasting in the way. Always listen to Bill.

So much going on in this text, which was written — we could also say "lived" — by NPR's media reporter. The most important in my view are these words from a former CEO of NPR, Vivian Schiller.

"Any evidence-based news organization that reports critically is going to be accused of left-wing bias."

NPR is one of the world’s great news organizations. Accusations of bias are unwarranted and the cuts will harm smaller stations in red and blue states alike. THAT SAID I've long believed journalism + gov't funding is a toxic brew. Let's build a new and healthy model for public radio.

This is astounding — with huge implications for the years ahead:

YouTube video by K D Edward R. Murrow - A Report on Senator Joseph R. McCarthy

Would encourage everyone trying to draw the parallels between Terry Moran's deleted tweet and Ed Murrow actually watch the Ed Murrow broadcast on Joe McCarthy -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMgo...

Is that a new post from them? They published something like this a couple of years back .

I thought it was just me!

i thought i was losing my mind!

never let anybody tell u that evil does not exist

Local PBS and NPR stations serve communities across the US. In some areas, they're the only available news source. Now, Trump is trying to defund them, turning an essential public good into a culture war target. Former President and CEO of NPR @vivianschiller.bsky.social joins me at 10a ET. #Velshi

honestly, even just the "calm down" part is disqualifying.

Brilliant cover. Congrats to all on the observers new day.

Working with Chris Krebs and getting to know his wife Emily and their family has been one of the great honors of my life. The attack against their family should be condemned by all.

I have written a post about what is happening to them here: www.linkedin.com/posts/alexst...

can't wait!!!

This is devestating news. John was a force of nature, a true believer, and a helluva good time. I can't believe he's gone and wish we could have found a way to keep him with us.

The claim that the destruction of essential civilizational institutions is being done in the name of the Jews is itself a form of antisemitism—cultural vandalism carried out in our name.

That, my friends, is rank bullshit.

Oh thank god. @darthbluesky.bsky.social is back.

Exclusive | Columbia Yields to Trump in Battle Over Federal Funding Columbia’s agreement is a significant moment in the intensifying battle between Trump and elite universities.

A sad day for Columbia and for our democracy. "Additionally the school believed there was considerable overlap between needed campus changes and Trump’s demands" has got to be one of the most depressing sentences ever written.
