What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.

I wish we could ban news of the USA from "global" news. There are enough communities for US news.
Until tagging comes to Lemmy there isn't much we can do. USA is part of the world so excluding them is not an option. And I would say the community has a healthy balance of news from the rest of the world, so it's not just posts about the USA.
Like it or not, the US is part of the globe.
Dilution is the best solution
Guess it’s a good thing that NPR barely gets any funding from the federal or state governments then. All this does is get people to donate more to PBS and NPR.
Next they'll try to ban it.
They got that fancy new law to kill non-profits that I'm sure would be useful.
NPR will probably respond to this by hiring 50 republicans and still get defunded
Ah yes, and then have a 2 part series on how the Dems lost by pandering to the left, and how those values in society are long gone.
Didn't Nice Polite Republicans already do that?
I stopped listening to them back when they brought an insurance executive on to talk about how great health insurance is at "providing healthcare", but they just need more money.
They're nearly as bad as NYT when it comes to pretending to be the left, but only platforming the center and right.
But they have a lesbian and a brown person talking on the microphone, they’re so lefty look at them!
My friend, this is unfortunately the reality of all "left" press of any high volume.
We have the Guardian in the UK which is regarded as the lefty paper by many people here, but if you look at the modern editorial slant, particularly around political coverage and you'll find it's very much a centrist paper and occasionally a bit centre-right. They get the odd left-winger in for opinion pieces from time to time to keep up the charade, but you can tell if the LibDems had a chance in hell of being elected, the paper would drop all support for Labour in a heartbeat.
Actual left wing press at any large scale is not permitted to exist by the billionaire classes. If one gets too big, it'll be acquired and the slant will shift before long. Class consciousness is bad for business
I just cancelled my New York Times subscription and I'll be sending that money to NPR now. The grey lady has become a corporate stooge anyway.

Good choice!

Yeah, I know. But it was my stooge.
This bullshit just got me to donate $25. Thanks for reminding me you crazy fucking cunt
I'm December, they tend to have matching offers. So I'll be donating then.
Morons. They think ‘defund’ means ‘get rid of’ because they themselves can’t exist without grift and bailouts.
More fund drives.
damn this is uncool
