You don’t know what neoliberal means…

Shut your potty mouth rob_g
Do you remember the time there was a sick, dying man on here also called Rob and he asked you to change your name so he might have some peace of mind in his latter days, lest his friends thought your effluvium was his? I do.

Thanks for the article. Of course we have the usual suspects in there buying up media influence.
“while the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed $1.5 million”
“In addition, grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates ($1.8 million) and Wallace ($1.5 million) foundations, Gates Foundation ($3 million), and Ford Foundation ($750,000) will enable NPR to expand its coverage of education, global health and development, and race, ethnicity, and culture. “

I’d say George Soros is mixed up there too. Good that you can sniff this stuff out E’Matty.

Yeah, let’s just ignore the established and evidenced fact that one of the richest men in the world, who is already the largest funder of the WHO who have dominated the global response to the pandemic, is also spending millions buying up media influence and control. You’re the kind of imbecile who thinks the billionaire class actually cares about them. Pond life. Unless the “important man” tells you something, it’s just crazy conspiracy theory. You low IQ types are highly amusing.

I wonder what other sorts of media influence and control are being bought up, and by whom.

“You low IQ types”
Conspiracy theorists often believe they have above average IQs and superior levels of critical thinking.
I’m confident you are thick as pig plop.

Enough of the name-calling in fairness!

NPR used to be funded by taxpayers… and that died… it’s awful and there are very annoying funding drive adds every couple or weeks…

Should we not give Marty a spin of the wheel himself so he can have a bit in the bank?
Obviously he didn’t get on board on the Joe Duffy/Ryan Tubridy plan…
