Netanyahu has already halted aid to Gaza! He knew Hamas couldn’t return all the bodies when he made the deal, so did Trump! Bodies are buried under all the buildings Israel destroyed! Netanyahu & Trump knew they would continue Operation Starvation & they have! www.bbc.com/news/live/cx...
Thank you, @npr.org. Freedom of the press is essential to help us return to a democracy.
Thank you NPR
Y'all need to stop letting 1A hosts have Trump admins on, letting them absolutely lie with no pushback or fact check. It's sickening and I feel it's capitulation for a future attempt at regaining funding by goat throating Trump.
👏👏👏👏
We got the Ministry of Truth now...
Right on, NPR!
Too bad NPR sanewashes Trump :(
Good! That’s the bare minimum these days.
Thank you for committing to the truth.
Excellent decision, now if only the others would follow
Good. Don’t give K Leavitt a podium. Don’t give her a voice. Squash the messaging and do true journalism.
Thank you NPR Keep News separate and clean from fascist propaganda We need more Epstein files release information and less Trump talking about Trump Actually we need zero Trump talking about Trump We need the truth about his actions without his lies
You gonna figure out alt text sometime in the next 26 years, then?
Thank you NPR!♥️🇺🇸♥️
Meanwhile at CBS….
Step away from the orchestrated play-by-play and do more investigative work.
Why in the world would you bury the lede at the end of the 2nd graph?? "If reporting about the American military is pre-approved by the military, the public is not getting real reporting — it is getting only what officials want the public to see."
Thank you @npr.org! Here comes another donation your way. #FreePress
Damn right!
Amen and thank you from a loyal supporter.
this is absolutely insane
Perfect NPR statement!
Thank you for not caving like CBS, ABC and others.
Even Newsmax has found it questionable
We're entirely too busy limiting ourselves to sanewashing the insane.
Thank you for having integrity.
NPR and Atlantic are on the right side of this!! 👏🏾
THANK YOU, NPR! I would expect nothing less.
Well done NPR! 🙌🙌
Fascism is here 😞
Good for you. Now just stop doing analysis/judgment free he said/she said reporting and we’re golden.
Took y’all long enough
"pre-approved reporting" is called "propaganda" in non-pre-approved dictionaries
We tried so hard to warn @NPR that their normalization of Trump’s regime would come back to haunt them and all other journalists who refused to accept what was going down.
Thank you.

thanks for standing up for the truth... please continue....
Nicely done
Why isn’t this a lawsuit for infringement of First Amendment rights?
Stand firm.
our founding fathers built our political system on the assumption that the masses would probably get most of their information through newspapers. this has only changed in medium through the internet, but still remains a massive pillar of our political system
This is good.

Thank you, NPR. True patriots!
Thank you for standing strong!
Good job NPR. Now please work harder on not being chickenshit both sidesing in your reporting.
Please never cave to this regime.
Thank you, we’re with you.
This should go without saying! We live in America!
They have been in power long enough for us to know that nothing good, valuable, helpful or truthful is coming out of the regime. We just need to turn them the fuck off and fight to remove them. We have more than enough evidence to prove they are destroying democracy and the country.
Way to go NPR. So proud of you guys. 🤗 Let's all go out and win this for the American people October 18th.
Hell yeah
Donate to NPR, let's help keep this vital service alive & well!!
🙏🏼
Does this mean you're going to rein in the bothsidesing, and the Trump appeasement, too? Because that would be great.
✊️
Thank you for upholding these principles! This is why I continue to support NPR and why I will be making another donation.
Someone high ranking in the military active duty needs to do or say something. Perhaps Stars & Stripes would be a good place to start.
Don't sign. Reporters don't reveal sources. Just another example of how the authoritarian regimes wants to suppress free speech and freedom of the press.
Thank goodness. I gave up on them in 2016, I would like to see more spine.
Thank you for taking a stand for journalism.
We are at a dark place in history. The military if it has to be told this, we are already there.
Thank you NPR! Wish other news networks would follow your lead
BRAVO. Thank you!!! We expected no less, @npr.org.
THANK YOU!!!!
DO NOT OBEY
@npr.org KEEP IT GOING! You speak the truth.
THANK YOU!!!
I expected nothing less. I approve.
Hey NPR. what is the body of water called between Texas and Florida and south of New Orleans? Gulf of ______
Respectable. That's the right way to respond to this stuff.
Well said
Let trump tell the address of the Antifa headquarters! It used to be the White House when America stood for something other than perversion, corruption and Naziism!
And that’s why we have donated to NPR. And I will not waste my time on CNN anymore. MSNBC may be next.
Then call this out for what it is: Fascism Until you say the word, everything else rings hollow, as though you and other outlets are just waiting foe the ship to right itself. It's Fascism. Scream it from the rooftops
Kudos to the media rejecting Pig Hegseth's pig-headed attempt to control the press. What would you expect from a guy who thinks he owns the military.
as it should be
…and yet, lots of newsrooms use police releases verbatim. 🤷♀️
Thank you!
Impeach Pete
Good for NPR!
Trump and his minions don’t believe in freedom of speech and want to control the press.
Please post with alt text so everyone can know what it says!
So you do have a spine. Now you need a brain
Posting this again... At this crucial time, as Trump tries to silence the media, this is a small yet meaningful way to flip off the current administration. Forgo one of your morning lattes and donate $5 to NPR. www.npr.org/donations/su... Please share. www.npr.org/donations/su...
Yeah, the Pentagon and administration will get right on that.
Strongly urging fascists not to be fascists. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see how it plays out for em.
If institutions of any type withholds the truth about an issue it is the duty of a free press to investigate as best they can then tell the public what they think is happening disclosing clearly that the institution is hiding the truth and are free at any time to provide a more accurate account.
Thank you NPR. I'll always support you. 💙
EXACTLY!
Lol…you say that but..🧐
Was it a deadline? Because I've read multiple news agencies won't sign. Not even Newsmax!
Thank you for being principled.
Well isn’t that naive. MAGAts ain’t upholding anything that isn’t in dear leader’s interests.
Thank you!
It’s the least you could do.
Thank you National Public Radio For staying true to your roots Public broadcasting Not bought for propaganda ✌️✌️✌️💙💙💙💙
Reminds me of coverless during the Vietnam War.
This is how you support journalism and integrity in the media. Glad we have at least one news source not bending the knee. @npr.org #FreedomOfThePress www.npr.org/donations/do...
you are @npr.org.. how are we not alt texting?!
Hey. You must have found your balls NPR. Too bad it it didn’t happen 18 months ago.
Yes. And why I will continue to donate every month to ensure neutral journalism continues to exist.
you can just say "eat shit, pentagon" it's fine
THANK YOU
Isn't this impeachment worthy activity? This is fascism. It's illegal and unconstitutional. The country should sue him.
Thank you.
This is more like it! Fight them! Resist! Be the fourth branch that journalism is supposed to be. No kings in America. No tinpot dictators in America. No despots in America. Journalism keeps the people safe only as long as it does not bend to governmental pressure to obfuscate.
Way to go. NPR! ❤️
The administration’s policy is authoritarian at its core. Government control of the press is unconstitutional, period!
SPEAK UP NPR! Republicans hate you. They cut your funding to destroy your truthful reporting. Speak out now or forever hold your peace because the truth is— this is a fascist authoritarian takeover and destruction of the United States and its Constitution! Let’s make that plain every day! 👊👊👊🇺🇸
Good
Hair Gel Man is in the finding out stage: the Pentagon is not Fox News where producers create lies for money.
I can see why Trump ad his goons are trying to crush NPR. Stand tall. We are with you!
Well done, guys.
NPR rocks. Someone choosing this moment to bash NPR is out to lunch.
Putins playbook
That asshole has ALL our money, US assets, is using it to tear down the Whitehouse, bomb Gaza for Jared, and what else? WHAT ELSE ????
RADIO FREE AMERICA !!!!
👍
This is the age of real time digital independent information sharing. The Pentagon is basically screwed.
100%
Good. Thank you for doing the right thing.
This is the way.
Never take a knee to fascism…
Thank you!
Thank you
wow RINOs
to bad it's a mediocre media outlet that's no better than the other mediocre American corporate news outlets. My whole life they've been running away from conservative propaganda painting them as "biased."
I'm sure there are classical literary references I could make but sorry this is what comes to mind
Thank you. I’ve been a little leery of some of your recent reporting but this shows me that you do still have principles.
1st Amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Thank you for standing strong 💪
Thank you!!!
Thank You, NPR..
Where is the ACLU to stand up for your (and our) First Amendment Rights? Why aren't you suing the ever-lovin' holy hell out of the DEFENSE department, and Kegsbreath?
Good. As I have said before, there’s no need to attend their briefings. Rather, now is a time to dig, dig and dig, and to do some gd nose-to-the-ground reporting.
Thank you @npr.org for standing up when the others wouldn’t.
This is the way.
Hurray! Well said!
Thank you! 🙌🏻
Curious to see you report on the companies who did sign
It would've taken less than a minute to add alt text.
Standing strong with us! Thank you! If you don't already support public radio and/or TV, please take a moment to go to your favorite news source and click on the button to give. They need us, and we see the necessity of what they provide. -Proud supporter of #KUOW PS #86-47ImpeachTrump #NoKings
You should go harder on the truth now. Ask for sources when they lie and propagandize, ask the uncomfortable questions, call out each and every person on their lies, and never give them a megaphone for their nonsense.
They are getting ready to put the military oin the streets. That's why they need to control the narrative. They will start labeling honest reporters as enemies of the state.
Bravo 👏 👏👏👏👏
Thank you NPR
Great! Thank you!
Amendment I. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
"The new policy threatens that commitment by giving the Administration final say over what can and cannot be reported about our military and its actions... If reporting about the American military is pre-approved by the military.. — it is getting only what officials want the public to see."
Bravo, NPR!
Or release the Files and end the 💩SHOW
“… And anyone that does sign it is kowtowing to the administration and not to be trusted as a source of true journalism. They have abdicated from a professional role that they no longer deserve.“
Thank you! 🇺🇸
Finally an organization that is willing to stand up for what’s right and not collapse to the pressure of blackmail and corruption! We, the United States of America NEED MORE CORPORATIONS LIKE NPR TO STAND UP TALL! Thank you
👏👏👏👏👏
Agree and thank you.
Paging ACLU….
Boo hoo NPR. You sane washed everything Trump said prior to elections, and pussyfooted around Elon’s blatant NAZI SALAUTE go lay in your bed. We needed your honesty and integrity and your balls before it came to this.
💜 Thank You 💜
Thank you. Please keep pushing back
NPR should say, “Fuck you,” to this fake presidential administration every time it gets the chance. 🙄
In the spirit of constructive criticism, it would also be cool if you stopped enabling and sane-washing the policies of this administration in your misguided attempts to appear impartial. The fact that they’re trying to control what you can publish ought to be a pretty glaring clue.
Finally the press is fighting back a little.
Thank you for not bowing to them
A curt, "go fuck yourself, Hegseth" would've gotten funding for NPR for the rest of human existence.
Impeach tRump
Bravo 👏
We don't pay you for that! You are taxpayer funded, WE can ask you ANYTHING WE WANT!
Thank you, you've always been my go to and I give when I can. Always have, and I'm old, so it does add up eventually😉
Good. Now stop platforming known liars and stop sanewashing the nonsense trump spews. This is a good start but keep going.
Yes !!!!
Does the new rule apply to AmyGoodman? Because she’s not stopping Democracy Now!
Censorship has generally been a wartime phenomenon, but self censorship by the corporate media is even more destructive to democracy.
