When Congress voted to slash $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), pulling the plug on federal support for NPR and PBS, the headlines read like an obituary. For decades, these institutions were the “safe” places for truth, an alternative to the screaming matches of cable news and the clickbait-driven chaos of corporate media. But if we’re honest, public broadcasting has always had a quiet vulnerability: funds come with strings. When you rely on the

The refusal comes despite the city’s prior release of two surveillance videos — both silent — that captured segments of the same incident. Those videos omit any audio of the verbal altercation allegedly instigated by McDaniel. According to Sgt. Jason Moze’s incident report, McDaniel, in a “panic state,” entered City Hall yelling, demanding to know the mayor’s location, and proceeded to scream at staff and berate officers, reportedly shouting about Moze being a “giant white ma
