      putting proper labels on NPR and PBS as Government Propaganda because that's exactly what they are.

      Not even that. The label just says "government-funded media". Those organizations even state that of their own accord.

      Who said they were being excluded? They left like petulant jackasses over such an accurate descriptor of their services. It is very helpful as it makes more people away of the extent of government controlled propaganda that masquerades itself as independent or impartial.

        You're obviously biased

        Says the pot, to the kettle.

        Questions #2 and #3 are predicated on what you perceive as "obvious".

        Why are you defending these organizations?

        They "obviously" left Twitter on their own.

        So stop using Twitter, like NPR and PBS.

        Ya commie.

        hfxB0oyA - why do you talk about PBS and NPR as if they were children?

        I thought it was a witty headline. It certainly got a lot more attention and spurred more discussion than most of the posts I make here.

        Are are you trying to lower the discourse on Saidit to infantile jokes?

        Yes.

        If there is anything to say about PBS or NPR's decisions, I'm not seeing any analysis here in the thread.

        Feel free to add some. Saidit is for everyone! And welcome, BTW. 😃

        For example: do you want Twitter to exclude PBS and NPR?

        It's not excluding them, so I don't see how any desire I may or may not have to that effect are even relevant.

        If so, how is that helpful? Will it be good for the authoritarians?

        Again, Twitter isn't excluding PBS or NPR. They're leaving on their own. And taking their little balls with them.
