You may disagree, but the intent and practice of NPR has always been to remain impartial as a news source. The lack of a profit motive encourages this, whereas other media organizations rely on catering to their desired audience. Maybe you don’t like what you hear there, but consider the motivation of any news org before judging it.

As far as the propaganda aimed at other countries, I can’t speak to it as I’m ignorant in this area.

Maybe start rolling out straight-up subsidies? That would open up local newspapers to government censorship

The Corporation For Public Broadcasting (RIP) did a good job of helping NPR, PBS, etc stay impartial and relevant.

“Active” on Home, when I run out of stuff, “Hot” on Home. If I get really desperate, “Hot” on All.

Oh trust me I know. They make big promises, and sell these devices dirt cheap to state education systems, and frame it as an altruistic, benevolent act. Meanwhile you can’t install any other software on them and it’s entirely locked into using google’s “education” software

Lots of school districts are beginning to ban phones. The one I live in has, and it’s had great results.

Each textbook can have modules and problem generators, designed to make it easy for teachers to assemble a custom curriculum for their class, to assign problems, and to quickly have generic quizzes graded.

Having worked for three separate companies trying to do just that, it’s not that the technology doesn’t exist. It’s that it’s too expensive for individuals to purchase and school districts had a hard time getting contracts approved due to NCLB and constant budget cuts. Strange though that a company like Google could ink a huge deal with an entire state even though none of the shit did anything it promised.

Never pass up an opportunity for getting in the news. Free advertising

People with no technical background insisting that “AI” is taking over and is sentient, even when I try to explain how it actually works. They refuse to believe that maybe all of those breathless “news” articles are clickbait hype-mongering.

“You just don’t like it because it’s gonna take your job!” Keep believing that, imbeciles.
