Summary

Sheryl Crow announced on Instagram that she is selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR, citing concerns over Elon Musk’s leadership.

NPR is under political scrutiny, with Republican lawmakers and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr launching investigations.

Crow’s move is a protest against Musk’s influence in government and Trump’s efforts to defund public media.

    I’d argue that’s every even moderately progressive major news outlet these days. Guardian’s pretty tame too

      I would argue that would mean that they’re no longer “moderately progressive.”

      The Guardian has been suspect ever since Glenn Greenwald showed his true colors.

          Dunno. Weird shit.

          I’m pretty sure he left the Guardian (or was forced out) shortly after his heel-turn… But still, couldn’t help but feel burned. He was one of the two (I believe) journalists that were helping Snowden release his documents in a way that was digestible. What happened?

              That, or he realized how easy and lucrative it is to grift conservatives.

              He’s gay too, so I think he knows that he can have Fox News and other garbage right-wing outlets parade him around as the token gay. To prove that they “hate the sin, not the sinner” (🤮)
