Summary
Sheryl Crow announced on Instagram that she is selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR, citing concerns over Elon Musk’s leadership.
NPR is under political scrutiny, with Republican lawmakers and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr launching investigations.
Crow’s move is a protest against Musk’s influence in government and Trump’s efforts to defund public media.
Great, except NPR as been somewhat compromised by right wing influence for years. Reagan appointed a conservative to the head the board of NPR.
That was almost 50 years ago. Is it really a conservative outlet? Everything I hear from there seems to be of a pretty reasonably high tier
They’ve recently (since 2016 or so) have over-corrected after constantly being called “left wing” by Fox News and other bullshit outlets. It’s still relatively center, but they walk on eggshells regarding anything that might show perceived liberal bias.
I’d argue that’s every even moderately progressive major news outlet these days. Guardian’s pretty tame too
Young Turks still proudly progressive and have no problem calling things out for what they are.
