The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee announced that it is going to war with National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)
In two letters sent to the CEOs of the outlets – Katherine Maher and Paula Kerger – Marjorie Taylor Greene, the DOGE subcommittee chair, called on them to testify on Capitol Hill to defend the government funding they use to share ‘systematically biased content.’
Greene said that the department plans to address its concerns about the station’s ‘blatantly ideological and partisan coverage’ at the hearing, scheduled for either the week of March 3 or March 24.
In each letter, the subcommittee gave examples of ‘bias’ reporting done by both NPR and PBS against Elon Musk – the head of DOGE – and cited NPR’s decision to not report on Hunter Biden‘s laptop scandal.
In the one sent to Kerger, the subcommittee said: ‘Recently PBS implied that Mr. Elon Musk made a fascist salute while addressing an inaugural celebration hours after President Donald Trump was sworn into office,’ referring to the Tesla CEO’s hand gesture that’s sparked major controversy online.
‘The characterization was clearly false’.
The letter sent to Maher cited NPR’s decision to not report on a laptop belonging to the former president’s son, which contained data critics claim implicates members of the Biden family in a corruption scandal.
Berliner worked for the outlet from 1999 until April 2024, as he blasted NPR for its far-left political bias, while also referring to the outlet as ‘an assembly line.’
‘There’s an unspoken consensus about the stories we should pursue and how they should be framed,’ Berliner wrote at the time.
‘It’s frictionless—one story after another about instances of supposed racism, transphobia, signs of the climate apocalypse, Israel doing something bad, and the dire threat of Republican policies. It’s almost like an assembly line.’
NPR has potential if their entire staff is thrown out the door. The lying, the lies by omission, the patronizing lefty mind-control, the smugness and also their constant hypnotic use of sing-song and childish voices appears designed to infantilize listeners. I am a big fan of voice variety and love all ways people speak. But NPR’s exclusive use of weak voices, beta-male voices, occasional strong female voices, is a clear attempt to lull listeners into a passive state and trick them into believing they know something when they don’t. I fully agree with Berliner in the highlight above. NPR’s content largely sucks, the speakers mostly suck, the politics is disgusting for a station receiving US tax dollars. It is a negative use of money and time when it could be made positive with new people. ABN
The hostility @RobertKennedyJr experienced at his hearing was directly proportional to how much Pharma money each Senator received. In fact, each of them simply repeated the same attacks we just saw flood the mass media (all of which were blatant lies).
Recently, as I show here, a left wing group (created to hide pharmaceutical money) publicly announced a campaign to take RFK down, after which the lines they concocted flooded every news publication and Carolyn Kennedy quoted them as her own to the media.
For example, they (and the senators) kept claiming RFK caused a deadly measles outbreak. In truth, it was due to children being killed by the vaccine, nurses covering it up, and the Samoan government banning it, and until recently no one blamed RFK.
DeepSeek, China’s new Ai model, is disrupting the entire world of artificial intelligence…in the blink of an eye.
If you don’t know…DeepSeek is an open sourced Ai program that anyone can use.
It’s the top app in all app stores today.
It’s free and the paid models are cheaper than competitors.
It’s also very powerful, matching or beating all the American competitors on all major benchmarks.
The reason this is significant – and the reason it’s crashing the financial markets this morning…is because they did this with OUT all the powerful US ‘hyperscalers’ or GPU Superconductors that the US has banned the export of to China.
They also don’t give the ridiculous valuations to this company like we do to our OpenAi and Meta, etc.
So China, against all our efforts and sanctions, created a cheaper, more efficient and more powerful Ai model by being creative and working around all our efforts to block their progress.
And from what I hear, DeepSeek is just the beginning. Many think it cracked AGI!
A high-class escort has spilled the beans on what happens behind closed doors in Davos during the World Economic Forum, including what the wealthy think really will happen to the world in the near future.
Salome Balthus, 40, is a high-end escort and author from Berlin who has travelled to Davos, Switzerland, to meet up with clients during the annual gathering of the global elite.
Salome revealed to MailOnline what she has learned about the global elite – and for many it is that they are doom-mongering about the fate of the world… so they’ve decided to enjoy it while it lasts.
Convinced that a climate change apocalypse is upon us they shamelessly spend their vast wealth on expensive escorts in Switzerland… which they fly to in their environmentally-unfriendly private jets.
‘The elephant in the room is climate change. Everyone knows it can’t be prevented any more,’ she said, adding that the ‘super rich’ could generally be split into two groups on the topic.
According to leaked media reports [CBS HERE] President Trump is going to unveil a private sector launch of $500 billion to create data processing centers for a national Artificial Intelligence (AI) network. The network will be known as “Stargate.”
SoftBank Chief Executive Officer Masayoshi Son, OpenAI head Sam Altman and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison are expected to be at the White House for the announcement.
The initial launch will consist of $100 billion for the first Stargate (AI processing center) in Texas. Other projects in other states will come online in the future.
The inevitable arriving more or less as predicted. Only DARPA can stop or slow technology and it can only do that by hiding it and owning all the researchers. AI is out in the open. KOBK absolutely 100% demands USA continue developing it. Not saying I like it. Just saying this is how power is wielded in this world. Altman and Ellison are both Jewish. Son is Japanese. The only defense we the plebs have is free speech and as many of us as possible being on more or less the same page. I do not believe that is near enough but it is all we have. ABN
Elon Musk has given all of his critics an incredible gift by faking his Path of Exile 2 account in a way that is so obvious that it would be impossible for anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of video games to deny.
Elon has been regularly streaming with someone else’s account, apparently that of a Chinaman he has hired to build the account for him, while pretending it is his own account. During the streams, he demonstrates virtually no understanding of the game, and yet apparently expects fans of the game to believe he is one of the best players in the world.
Though Elon’s video game hobby might seem like a small thing, the extreme form of fraud he has engaged in exposes his entire character. Further, the bizarre nature of how he has committed the fraud proves that he is fundamentally a weird, stupid person.
The media has covered this some, after basically everyone in the PoE community called him out as a fraud (a video from Quin, one of the top players, mocking him went especially viral, and is being cited by various outlets).
Following a well-documented act of journalistic manipulation by CBS where they edited an interview with Kamala Harris to fabricate her response to a question, President Trump sued CBS for $10 billion alleging ‘election interference and demonstrable bias.’
The editorial manipulation by CBS is not debatable, even Trump critics stood jaw-agape at how stunningly obvious the fabrication within the broadcast 60-minutes interview was. CBS didn’t even attempt to defend itself on the matter. {Background Link}
CBS parent company Paramount Global is currently in an acquisition/merger effort with Skydance Media. The FCC is currently reviewing the possibility of the deal. Here’s where it gets interesting.
Skydance Media is run by David Ellison, the son of billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. Larry Ellison is the background money behind Twitter, behind Elon Musk and deeply enmeshed with the Tech Bros motives and intents for gains in the new administration. Larry Ellison has a good relationship with Trump supporting his election.
According to the Wall Street Journal, CBS/Paramount are now considering a lawsuit settlement with Donald Trump that would support a more friendly relationship for their merger interests with David Ellison and Skydance Media. It’s a billionaire “big club” analytical decision.
This is very good and well-worth the time. Pretty much what your basic American thinks or feels put very well. The parts on Indians ring true. It’s the same story for Jews but with different scenery. Simplicity that actually cuts to the core is always good. But you have to take it for that and not spin off into ‘fuck your own face’ or whatever Musk said. I hope Elon turns this episode around. People will hate you for what you do but will forgive you for what you did if your really reform. That happens to be basic (based?) Buddhism. It’s all transient. Or to say it better, all bullshit is transient but ethical, moral, generous, compassionate deeds and intentions are not. ABN
Something very interesting and openly obvious is happening amid the backlash that Elon Musk and the Silicon Valley network are facing to their H1B position.
Elon Musk has changed the Twitter algorithm to dimmish the voices of those who would openly confront his network of supporters within Silicon Valley and beyond. If large follower Twitter accounts, like those of Musk himself, David Sacks, Vivek Ramaswamy and Musks’ promoted network of influencers, begin blocking accounts on the platform, then the voices of those accounts get purposefully diminished by the algorithm.
Much like having a VIP section that can remove people from the audience, Musk is pushing opposing viewpoints to the acceptable narrative into the background of the public square.
The timing of this is not accidental. The allies of Musk have been getting blasted by some rather large MAGA accounts over the H1B visa position of the Silicon Valley team. In response, Musk is pushing those opposition voices out of the conversation. This is another way for the newly aligned tech group to maintain influence over the policy of President-elect Donald Trump. In fact, I have been informed this is exactly the purpose.
President Trump announced that David Sacks would lead the tech, crypto and AI policy group. This team being assembled by Sacks are all-in support of H1B visa use to bring in foreign workers. They do not want publicly visible opposition to impede their agenda.
To be fair, it makes sense for the tech network to do this because it is akin to President Trump’s incoming chief of staff, Susie Wiles, saying she would not let what she defines as “clown car people” influence President Trump. It’s an issue of controlling a very directed policy initiative. However, the issues around immigration in general, and H1B visas specifically are critically important to many of the long-term Trump supporters.
Elon Musk is building a bubble around Donald Trump to diminish opposition to the technocratic influence of the new allies.
Predictably, there was always going to be uncomfortable moments in this tenuous MAGA alignment with the billionaire technocrats; however, this is not that. This is far beyond uncomfortable. This is a core issue for millions of Americans, and the Silicon Valley response to controlling the conversation is not good.
Ultimately, as we are all witnessing, many of these people do not have our best interests at heart.
