Yeah idk why you’re upvoted, unless I’m missing something. The articles you linked(could only read the first as the 2nd is behind a paywall) only talk about how much slower NPRs coverage may become due to the backstops. Nothing implies that they have become unreliable news.

I’m unconvinced that NPR is unreliable based on your info. I listen to their planet money, the 1A, and the indicator broadcasts. The 1A especially has recently been openly and bluntly criticizing the fascists movements of Trump/Republicans. The indicator and planet money are more economics focused (rather than politically focused than 1A ) but even they will criticize Republican actions if it doesn’t align with economic theories.

NPR? BBC? I’m confused by this meme now…

I think i can get to 40ish words. I mean i have a whole day to focus on remembering the words, and it’s not ridiculously hard since its only 1 additional word per day, while the rest remain the same. It seems if I do make it to 40 words, i would have earned 666,000.00 USD which is pretty amazing. here’s table of the first 10 words:

Day | Cash per day	| Number of words |	cumulative earned
1	1,000.00	         5	           1,000.00
2	2,000.00	         6	           3,000.00
3	3,000.00	         7	           6,000.00
4	4,000.00	         8	          10,000.00
5	5,000.00	         9	          15,000.00
6	6,000.00	         10	          21,000.00

idk, slightly strange. But IDK if we have all the details yet. my understanding is that he shot into a van owned by ICE/Labelled ICE. I can imagine he may have thought there were ICE agents inside. I haven’t heard of any evidence that the the rounds were fabricated with false evidence.

I feel in this case, it just “proves them right” . Your 5 year old won’t begin to use silence as a sign that they’re right and spread videos of that debate to thousands of people.

yeah idk who “they” are specifically (i know in some state/city, they want the 10 commandments in schools), but I doubt they are a religious group that believes in all of the old testament, which means you make a very good point.

watched the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZPWbpOnZ-8

Kirk actually has a good point in that those lines are from the old testament, which Christians believe doesn’t apply, and only believe in the new testament. Assuming Kirk is right that it isn’t in the new testament ( the Cambridge speaker doesn’t contest it either, for whatever that is worth). From the the student then pivots to talking about a new testament description along the lines of: Man shall not sleep with man, which he says can be interpreted differently than man and man and could be man and prostitute. Kirk contends that the traditions and interpretations were created during the time that the writings were created, and so there is no loss of translation then, and those understandings have been passed down until down consistently. I will say, i’ve summised this, but it is a lot more of a meandering argument afterwards that is not very interesting to watch.

I feel like the cambridge student shouldn’t have even brought up the lines in videos above because it doesn’t completely apply to Kirk’s religious beliefs. The student studied the bible decently enough to make his point, but it seemed he needed additional context of Kirk’s beliefs to make a strong point against Kirk.
