PBS And NPR Are Now Toast

PBS and NPR are getting defunded by the government.

Reddit and Bluesky most affected. Let’s take a look at the meltdowns people are having over what is less than 10% of funding. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Rich Lowry, with the conservative magazine National Review, sits down to explain misrepresentation of NPR’s financial needs and practical uses, while making the case that the company was lucky receive the 50 years of federal funding that it already has.

‘Journal’ Quickly Discredited

The Wall Street Journal’s “bombshell” report claiming Donald Trump wrote Jeffrey Epstein a cryptic letter, complete with a suggestive drawing of a woman, for his 50th birthday may not be as credible as they claimed.

Glenn Beck and “Butler” author Salena Zito discuss the new revelation that the person behind the WSJ report has ties to the group behind the discredited Steele Dossier. In other words, Rupert Murdoch will be scrambling to defend himself in the $10 billion lawsuit President Donald Trump has filed against the Murdoch empire. Here’s more from Beck on Blaze TV.

A Steaming Pile Of Fake Trash

My, how the “mainstream” media has fallen. The lazy journalists at The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Washington Post never bothered to do serious coverage of Jeffrey Epstein during his lifetime, spent raping hundreds if not thousands of underage children.

But now that he’s presumably dead and gone, the Wall Street Journal suddenly uncovers a birthday card supposedly sent to him in 2003 by Donald Trump, celebrating Epstein’s 50th birthday. Oh, and Trump emblazoned the card with a hand-drawn nudie picture of a young, nubile female.

Believe that, and we’ve got a photo of a bridge into Brooklyn to sell you! You really have to be a feather-dusting moron to put any credence whatsoever in this reporting. Here’s more from the Liberal Hivemind.

 

Sayonara, Vax-Scene Charlatan!

Stephen Colbert, who pushed the deadly Pfizer vaccine shots, has been fired.

Actually, he gets to keep his job, but only on a short leash. CBS disclosed it will terminate The Late Show at the end of the next broadcast season in May 2026. The network said the program no longer could be profitably made.

The late night picture will change dramatically in 2026, as Jimmy Kimmel already has said he will not return to ABC after his current contract concludes at the end of this year.

That leaves only Jimmy Fallon at NBC. He likely wants to linger, but look for NBC to try to lowball or dump him as well. Here’s more from The Quartering.

And, just for old time’s sake, here’s the chicanery Stephen Colbert peddled.Β  Not so fun — or funny — after all!

The Fake AI Music Scene

Fake AI stories about Jesus and AI music like The Velvet Sundown are fooling everyone.

Every day, AI is becoming increasingly sophisticated, blurring the lines on social media between what is real and what is AI-generated. Millions of people share articles, music, stories, photos, and posts, unaware that much of this is AI-generated content.

News articles, TikTok shorts, YouTube videos, and even a band called The Velvet Sundown, which fooled Spotify with over a million listeners, turned out to be AI-generated creations, complete with promotional photos and a biography.

Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on the Edge of Wonder live show as they present both real and AI-generated content and share how you can analyze it for yourself.

Jaguar Tanks

Jaguar: the classic British sports coupe, driven by men licensed to kill… as well as brow-less, gender-queer humanoids with blue eyeshadow dressed in pink latex bodysuits!

What could possibly go wrong? Here’s more on The Right Angle, with Steve Green taking the lead, joined by Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.

CEO Of X Calls It Quits

Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of the social media platform X, has resigned. The resignation follows a bizarre incident in which the AI operation of X — Grok — broke out like a neo-Nazi with an anti-Semitic rant.

Is Yaccarino’s departure linked to Grok,Β  or is she leaving after months of strain and sliding stock prices after all of Elon Musk’s political overtures?

Here, Tim Pool and his trusty sidekicks discuss the story on TimcastIRL.

Bluesky Eats John Cusack!

John Cusack is in hot water over his politics on… get this… Bluesky.

Yes, the terminally online actor posted something the moderation team at Bluesky thought to be a wee bit too hateful despite Cusack espousing pretty far-left ideology. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

BBC, Now Broke, Erects Paywall

The BBC is down about a billion pounds and they’ve announced that they’re going to paywall their news website in the US.

I’m sure this will go VERY well for them. RIP Doctor Who, indeed. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Who Let Bro Out Of The Asylum?

Eli Mystal, the so-called Justice Correspondent for The Nation, talks to MSNBC about the Supreme Court’s new ruling that prevents local federal district judges from blocking nationwide actions by President Donald Trump.

Mystal cites an example involving Trump getting away with murdering a bunch of leftist loonies. What a lying sack of dog crap!

Since when has Trump, or any other American President for that matter, sequentially murdered scores of his political opponents? Maybe Mystal should go hustle his extremist jive on a street corner!Β  Here’s more from Memology 101.
