…you certainly know who to blame for it.
The three major networks – CBS, NBC and ABC – have spent virtually no time detailing how much money is being saved and how insane (I mean that literally) what the now-cancelled expenditures were funding.
Geoffrey Dickens, writing for newsbusters.org, has compiled a partial list of these cancelled expenditures, and the fact that these networks have not bothered to tell their viewers about them. I urge you to read it fully.
But here is a Shortened version of what it includes:
-CANCELLED:
-$600,000 grant to study “menstrual cycles in transgender men”.
– $903,811 for alpaca farming in Peru
– $364,500 to reduce social discrimination of recyclers in Bolivia
– $813,210 for vegetable gardens in El Salvador
– $323,633 to promote cultural understanding of Venezuelan migrants in Brazil
– $731,105 to improve marketability of mushrooms and peas in Guatemala
– $677,342 to expand fruit and jam sales in Honduras
– $483,345 to improve artisanal salt production in Ecuador
– $39,250 for beekeeping in Brazil
– $620K for “an LGB+ inclusive teen pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys”
– $699K for studying “cannabis use” among “sexual minority gender diverse individuals”
– $740K for examining “social networks” among “black and Latino sexual minority men in New Jersey”
– $50K for assessing “sexual health” among “LGTBQ+ Latinx youth in an agricultural community”
– $75K for researching “structural racism”
ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning show coverage? Zero seconds.
Again – this is only a partial list. And Mr. Dickens’ entire list includes just a minuscule number of the actual cancellations…
…NONE of which has been reported by any of the three major news networks, thus insuring that the millions and millions of viewers who rely on those networks for news are blissfully ignorant of this.
Democrats and, more generally, people who hate Republicans so much they will happily accept this display of overt media bias, should be thanking them profusely.
But people who actually want to know what is going on, should be infuriated.
Which are you?
