NPR's evidence that Trump is a "populist"—or at least has a populist lurking inside him—is remarkably thin.

      They could take away all of NPRs state funding and it wouldn’t even have to drop a single show from its lineup.

      In 2020, NPR claimed to only get 4% from government funding, but 29% from corporations and foundations. I can’t seem to find more recent statistics.

      The intent of those corporations and foundations, might have a larger weight on their editorial line.

    Corporate media failing us once again legitimatizing incompetent politicians. Read your local news outlets instead!

    so like, they’re just admitting that he doesn’t give a fuck about the working class? that’s almost impressive

    The actual NPR article: Can Trump’s 2nd act work for the working class while giving back to his super donors?

    I hate to do this, but: Betteridge’s law of headlines

    Taking note from other dictatorial states, it could be in line with:

    • “Rude night-time drone attacks on Moscow”
    • “Chinese citizens begging the administration”
    • “Russian citizens begging Putin for help in oil spill disaster”
    • “Woman screaming at an apple in Hong Kong”

    …and similar veiled critic presented as a “Plea to the King”.
