@realDonaldTrump NPR is 99% publicly funded and 1% funded by the government, PBS is funded by the public also but gets about 15% of it's funding from the government. People like these media outlets - if they didn't they would have as much public support as they do. You're an idiot.
This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook—dismantle the institutions that inform the public, then replace them with state-aligned propaganda channels. Attacking NPR and PBS—two of the most balanced, publicly accountable, and non-commercial media organizations in the country—isn’t about fighting bias; it’s about silencing independent thought and scrutiny. Trump doesn’t want neutrality—he wants obedience.
Calling journalists “monsters” strips them of humanity and cues supporters to treat them like enemies of the state.
Enemy Framing: The phrase “radical left” is a dog whistle with no consistent meaning, used to rally fear and tribal loyalty.
Distraction: While elites rewrite laws, evade taxes, and consolidate power, the public is told to focus their rage on media outlets that still expose the truth.
