NPR, PBS Sold Out To Pro Corporate, Pro Nuclear Apologists, Show Only One Sided Coverage, While Demonizing Any Other Points Of View



PBS on green energy; all nuclear.. all the way, while dissing wind, water, solar energy as 'not realistic', or not ready, or whatever else, but all negative. 

Please leave a comment below the video on Youtube by the way.. 

What is really interesting is that this pro nuclear apologist at the link above, encourages people to write into PBS and complain, because this is NOT PRO NUCLEAR ENOUGH!


PBS FEATURES PRO NUCLEAR PROPAGANDA ANIMAL SHOW, PROMOTING TOURISTS VISITING HIGHLY RADIATION CONTAMINATED AREAS


Here is a PBS produced movie, promising that Chernobyl has returned to a virtual 'Heaven' or paradise for animals, and by extension, humans too. There is now a whole tourist industry growing around taking people on tours of highly radiation contaminated zones like this, due to this movie. PBS is going to be responsible for a lot of cancers and deaths, longer term.

EVIDENCE OF PBS BIAS AND FAVORABLE PRO INDUSTRY COVERAGE BY FAIR

PBS RULE: "PBS and its member stations are responsible for shielding the creative and editorial processes from political pressure or improper influence from funders or other sources."

Despite this admirable statement of being able to take money from any source and remain uncorrupted, PBS has been coopted by the nuclear industry and their $.. Even on 'public' owned media, such as PBS, the corporate influence and viewpoint is expressed in many ways by showing mainly favorable coverage for such things as nuclear accidents, while downplaying the risks, dangers or negative health impacts that communities and individuals may experience.

PBS Responds To Accusation of Dow- Paid For Series Of TV Programs, Which Violate PBS Ethical And Funding Guidelines

Problems at PBS, From Rose to Koch
On Monday came word that PBS viewers will get something new on Friday nights: More Charlie Rose. As Elizabeth Jensen reported (New York Times, 5/20/13),PBS will be offering a new show calledCharlie Rose Weekend, that "will cull the best of his late-night program" along with some new material. The show will take the place of Need to Know, which some might recall was PBS's replacement for the generally excellent program Now, which it cancelled in 2009. The show's first host was then-Newsweek editor Jon Meacham, as sure a sign as any that the show would probably not be doing the kind of independent journalism viewers had come to expect from Now. So PBS has gone from Now to Need to Know to… Charlie Rose clips? Talk about sliding downhill.

KOCH BROTHERS AND CORPORATIONS HAVE TOO MUCH CORRUPTING INFLUENCE AT PBS


One or both of the Koch Brothers are currently funding a number of shows on PBS and they are also on the 'board' of PBS, and thus exert a considerable influence on PBS. For example, PBS pulled funds for a documentary about the Koch brothers.. Who was behind pulling the funding for this critical look at these influence peddlers and corrupting influence on democracy?

“Citizen Koch”: The movie about our sick democracy PBS tried to kill

How PBS sold its soul to a billionaire donor
That underscores the cynicism of the steady withdrawal of public funding from PBS since the Reagan administration. It's another example of the old story of big government getting off the horse, so big business and the wealthy can saddle up. As David Sirota, the author of the PandoDaily expose, wrote in its aftermath, PBS doesn't stand for "Public Broadcasting Service" anymore. As it becomes more addicted to big-bucks donors, it risks becoming thePlutocrat Broadcasting Service.

Activist arrested at PBS annual meeting for protesting Koch brother’s ties to Boston affiliate
A climate change activist was handcuffed and arrested at the PBS annual meeting after calling for the ouster of billionaire David Koch from the board of a Boston public TV station. Brant Olson, campaign director for Forecast the Facts, stepped to a microphone Tuesday morning after a panel discussion on a Vietnam War documentary to lodge his protest, reported Current. The activist group protests Koch’s board membership due to his support for organizations and candidates that deny climate change.

NOVA FUNDING COMES FROM KOCH BROTHERS AND EXXON, TELLS VIEWERS NOT TO WORRY ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE


Is Nova Catering to Its Anti-Science Sugar Daddy?
PBS's Nova is taking money from one of the biggest bankrollers of climate change denial–and, surprise surprise, the resulting programming tells viewers not to worry about climate change. But PBS's ombud doesn't see this as a conflict of interest–because Nova is a "consistently first-rate program," and he trusts it.

Nova's conflict of interest was highlighted out by Climate Progress blogger Joe Romm (9/7/10), who had previously caught the Smithsonian promoting strange climate science after getting a grant from oil billionaire David Koch (Climate Progress, 4/1/10). Koch, who's a major funder of propaganda rejecting the science of climate change, is also one of the main underwriters of the popular PBS science program Nova–which is in itself a case of strange bedfellows. (Another major sponsor of Nova is ExxonMobil, the other top funder of science-denial in support of oil industry profits.)

PBS FEATURES PRO NUCLEAR INDUSTRY PROPAGANDA ON FRONTLINE


PBS FRONTLINE Why the french are 'in love' with nuclear power.

WHY PBS AVOIDS TALKING ABOUT NUCLEAR INDUSTRY EXCEPT IN POSITIVE WAYS


Why PBS avoids talking about nuclear industry, except in positive ways..

This article is not about Miles.. it is about PBS violating their own ethical and reporting standards.

TRUE Journalism is about reporting BOTH SIDES. The government, TEPCO, NRC, and TEPCO workers are only ONE side.

Where is the other side of the coin? Where are Dr. Busby, Dr. Caldicott, or Arnie Gunderson?

Anyone contributing to this holocaust of the truth is supporting the very MATRIX that creates these problems. PBS seems to have gone over to the dark side, and is taking people who contribute to PBS with them.

BILL MOYERS ON PBS


To PBS, With (Tough) Love
“Public television is not just a popularity contest, or a ratings game. Taxpayers support public broadcasting because democracy needs more than commercial media’s business models can provide. PBS’ programming decision makes a statement about PBS’ commitment to the mission of public broadcasting.”

It goes on to note the mandate cited in the recently revised and reissued Code of Editorial Integrity for Local Public Media Organizations: “Our purposes are to support a strong civil society, increase cultural access and knowledge, extend public education, and strengthen community life through electronic media and related community activities.”

But to lure a wider audience, it also airs what our neighborhood diner calls “lighter fare” — whether entertaining, upscale imports like Downton Abbey, home-grown, how-to programs like This Old House or (during pledge drives) nostalgic reruns of folk musicians, pop crooners, and financial and spiritual gurus – aimed at older viewers with, presumably, more disposable income.

Add to this the constant political pressures, especially from conservative politicians ever eager to cut off its funding (Mitt Romney says he wants to see commercials on “Sesame Street”), plus the self-censorship that all too often results, and you get a tendency toward orthodoxy and an aversion to controversy.

SUMMARY


PBS is violating their own ethical and reporting standards. They are NOT even reporting both sides of the story.  TRUE Journalism is about reporting BOTH SIDES. The government, TEPCO, NRC, and TEPCO workers are only ONE side.

Promoting only the pro corporate, pro nuclear industry point of view is a clear violation of PBS ethics, journalism standards, and a violation of their funding mandate. 

PBS, the world and your contributors are wondering, when are you going to give air time and interview people such as Dr. Busby, Dr. Caldicott, or Arnie Gunderson, among dozens of others, who can share the truth, and not just pro corporate, pro nuclear industry PR spin?

Tell Frontline what you think.. www.pbs.org/frontline   


Send them the link to this article or to one or more of the links below this article. Tell them you are pulling your donations, unless and until they start telling the truth about nuclear power and the dangers it poses to humanity. Tell them you are advising your neighbors and groups you belong to the same thing, and that negative news travels 100 times further and faster than good news. Corporate donations only make a small percentage of the total money they get, but corporations seem to be shutting out the public's voice and input and community interests, as well as seven future generations interests, even inside this public funded, non profit entity. 


NPR - National Public Radio



NPR and California Department of Public Health appear on document with nuclear-related U.S. entities ‘working together’ with Tepco to ‘disseminate’ Fukushima-related information — CDHP Yesterday: West Coast will get NO radioactive contamination from Fukushima (PHOTO)


See the NPR logo in the lower right hand box above, cozied up against Brookings, Rand, and other pro nuclear organizations that support the; "all radiation is good for you propaganda" and the no one died at Fukushima lie? How much clearer can it get than a supposedly neutral media outlet working with pro nuclear industry promoting corporations that promote the nuclear viewpoint with their PR?

Dick Shenary October 16, 2014  "At one point in time, PBS and NPR were genuine news organizations that tried to be objective. The 2nd Bush administration wanted no part of objective reporting so they simply changed out top management and installed their own people. I know this as I worked for NPR for four years. The reporting is now tightly controlled thus we get pabulum for news."

amberlight October 16, 2014  "Yes, I heard today another of Nat'l Propaganda Radio's fluff pieces on Fukushima. They are still talking about the whole irreparable catastrophe as just a very challenging job that is going to take a few more years to fix. I felt like throwing the radio through the window…"\

Heart of the Rose January 9, 2014  "But of course..NPR has been in with Homeland Security since 2008. Why is the Department of Homeland Security sponsoring NPR programs?

Dec 8 2008 "“‘Support for NPR comes from NPR stations, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), offering E-Verify, confirming the legal working status of new hires. At DHS dot gov slash E-Verify.” You've got to have clearance.. Oh.. but they have take the money or go off the air..so it's more important to stay on the air and lie to the people. For the average citizen that ..isn't interested in government propaganda..

BOYCOTT NPR ..turn it off ..don't send anymore money.
NPR ..is a snake in the grass ..cut it's head off.

bo January 9, 2014  "NPR = snake in the grass… so true..and those people who listen to NPR – sheep cloaked in shepard dog's fur… If that makes any sense."

Heart of the Rose
January 9, 2014 PS..A person has to have DHS clearance to work at NPR. Helping spread the voice of FEMA.

NPR Labs to Pilot Project of Radio Emergency Alerts
Feb 22 2013 NPR Labs has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to demonstrate the delivery of emergency alerts to people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing in the Gulf Coast states through local public radio stations and the Public Radio Satellite System (PRSS). This is the first effort to deliver real-time accessibility-targeted emergency messages, such as weather alerts, via radio broadcast texts.

NPR Labs, the technology research and development group of NPR, will work with DHS and FEMA to identify 25 public radio outlets in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to participate in the pilot. The distribution network of the Public Radio Satellite System (PRSS) will be used to test the effectiveness of the message delivery system. Helping the deaf and hard of hearing..ya sure.

Via bo January 8, 2014 "Nuclear Propaganda Radio. Wow, big surprise. I'm falling off my chair."

scottyji January 8, 2014  "So NPR is on the "it's all ok" bandwagon. Well well… “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
~Joseph Goebbels (German politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945)

OldFool January 8, 2014 "The Greatest Cover Up and News Black Out in History has succeeded for almost 3 years, even though 7 Billion+ people will eventually be affected in some way. I am in awe. The peasants will never figure it out, since they have been betrayed by every single level of government in Japan and in North America and they have been betrayed by every single institution of education and news communication in the world. The sheer scale and depth of this cover up is Absolutely Astounding."

Via Alaskan Ice January 8, 2014 "In a year or two we'll know whether the radionucliotides are staying in the surface currents to the west coast beaches, or diffusing throughout the deep blue Pacific. NPR is privately funded by big corporations and billionaire's foundations. The political paymasters got NPR defunded so they could control it by influencing programming at the national level. And the pledge drives are just window dressing that helps keep the local station lights on, and, more importantly, provides cover so the liberals will buy off on a reality where public radio can be privately funded. It amazes me that they sold the idea. They can't have the taxpayers with access to a truly publicly funded media source."
J.
January 8, 2014 "The BBC, publicly financed by mandatory subscription, with non-payers strictly penalized and with electronic monitoring of non-payers, does not provide truth on the important issues either. The grotesque and well-documented mendacity regarding the events of 11 September 2001 is a sterling example, so egregious that one former payer won a court case to stop paying on the basis that the BBC had failed to fulfill it's mandate to tell the truth. There's no panacea. We are dependent now on well-run independent Internet news providers and aggregators."

SUMMARY

Sadly, the 'public' part of the NPR and PBS media has been replaced by the corporate branding, as shown in the picture above. There is no public in that picture, just corporations and their promoters. When you get your picture taken with them like that, it speaks a thousand words.. No more needs to be said. After that, if you support that kind of organization, you may as well be working for the nuclear industry, promoting nuclear power, because that is what you are paying for.

Maybe it is time to switch where you send your monthly donations, and support a truly 'for the public' , independent media outlet?
