    US holding secret peace talks with Moscow -- Killzone: Devastating scale of Russia's drone terror against civilians laid bare in new report -- Russian troops spotted north of Pokrovsk, military confirms -- TNT shipments to Ukraine at stake as NATO supplies diverted to Israel for Gaza bombardment ... and more

  2. This is happening behind-the-scenes and you won't hear about it from corporate media. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, now basically an arm of the Trump administration, is cutting loose NPR completely because Trump hates the content on NPR.

    Now, I listen to NPR regularly, and have to say that it is pretty benign. I was frustrated with its lack of hard news coverage many times over the last few years. To say that NPR and PBS are "monsters" and biased, (as Trump has said) is ridiculous.

    Sadly, I don't see anyone in the US standing up for public media.

  3. WHY.

    Why are these the top four stories on CBC, The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation?

    One reason is the CBC has never had a top story on building the new energy.

    Top Four Stories on CBC are:
    1st) an ALARM that CO2, carbon fuel driven climate collapse, is already TAKING our forests,

    2nd) an unfolding human tragedy

    3rd ) a MASSIVE INCREASE in climate driving CO2

    4th) an economic atomic bomb

    5th) a mark of CBC FAILURE.

  4. An intelligent, rational response to tariffs on oil and gas and subsequent layoffs would be a massive investment in public education and reskilling of o&g workers and massive public investment in:
    1) clean energy
    2) public transport
    3) electrification

    The skills transfer very naturally. If the US tariffs force our O&G to wind down, then take that and wind up clean industry!

  5. 🚨 CBC reporting that the Canada Government has been informed by Trump Admin the tariffs will come into force on Tuesday Feb 4.
    25% on everything except 10% on oil and gas.

    Canada response will be $30-$40 Billion initially.

  6. They just ran a short news story about impacts of tariffs on Atlantic Canada and it dawned on me.

    This could be the end of our paper mill in #PortAlberni.

    It is the last one on VI that has operated continuously without significant curtailment since the 1950s. It was one of 4 huge paper operations.

    It is owned by Domtar and Paper Excellence. Last I heard it sells all its paper to the USA.

  7. In case you are cheap like me and cut cable a long time ago, the CBC Gem app is carrying CBCNN live for free while they wait for Trump to do whatever it is he is going to do.

    And bonus! No commercials! (Except the odd CBC tv show ad)

  8. There is another #Mastodon instance by a #PublicBroadcaster, and it's the second biggest: I added the accounts on social.npo.nl/directory to my table
    docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d
    They make #Dutch the fourth-largest language.

    Now I know of four instances by a public broadcaster, two from Germany, one from Britain and this one. Which other verified media accounts did I miss?

  9. #CBC mainly remains off #X, citing low #Traffic six months after scaling back presence

    Six months after the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and Radio-Canada scaled back its use of the social media site X, the #PublicBroadcaster says it will mostly remain off

    "The audience and engagement that we get from X is small. Among our #SocialMedia platforms, X is among the smallest sources of traffic," he told The Canadian Press when asked why it hasn't fully returned.

  10. #ABC exiting #Twitter: Australia’s national broadcaster shuts down almost all accounts on #ElonMusk’s #X/Twitter

    The #PublicBroadcaster says interactions on the platform are ‘toxic’ as it closes almost all its Twitter accounts

    "The ABC is shutting down almost all of its official accounts on Twitter – now known as X under Elon Musk’s ownership – citing “toxic interactions”, cost and better interaction with ABC content on other #SocialMedia platforms."

  11. Still no #TwitterExodus, but another #PublicBroadcaster leaving: Swedish #SverigeRadio quits #Twitter. A reason stated, is that it simply "has become less important to us" & "only 7% of Swedes are daily on Twitter".
    #ElonMusk wasn't the reason for leaving, but for evaluating their attitude towards Twitter.

    Other than #NPR, #PBS and #CBC they're not pausing their activity on Twitter, but really leaving. Again no word about #Mastodon/#Fediverse, though.

  12. The _public_ broadcaster #RTBF (francophone Belgium) is hosting, on a subdomain of theirs, a _commercial_ website (of a Dutch BV/Ltd) to look up promo codes.
    codepromo.rtbf.be

    codepromo.be even forwards to the sub-domain under RTBF.

    I've been wondering for quite some time now: Why? Might this be a way to earn money? What would be in it for the CodePromo folks - better SEO ranking?
