nobhillsal 🥑in an article about maga wanting to defund PBS because the truth hurts them I found an interesting statistic "According to a 2024 poll by YouGov, PBS was Americans’ third-most trusted news source after The Weather Channel and the BBC." It's very telling that the most trusted news source in the states is the British Broadcasting Company, even people from here don't trust US news organizations to be honest. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/FundPBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FundPBS</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PBS</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BBC</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TheWeatherChannel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheWeatherChannel</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Journalism</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NewsSources" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewsSources</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MediaBias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MediaBias</a>

Bruce MacDonaldBack in the Watergate era — from when the "-gate" suffix comes — there were consequences. Some high-ranking officials actually went to prison! Believe it.I hope I live long enough to see these people in the dock.Will Bunch: "I’d note that a) the Yemen strike is a symptom of U.S. militarism run amok in the Middle East that’s been building over decades and b) the media seems to be relieved because this tale of high-level gross incompetence falls within its comfort zone, while the hour-by-hour plunge into police-state fascism is something elite journalists are still struggling to comprehend." <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/rumeysa-ozturk-arrested-ice-tufts-20250327.html?int_promo=newsletter" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/rumeysa-ozturk-arrested-ice-tufts-20250327.html?int_promo=newsletter</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resist</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crime</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#journalism</a>
