Government-funded radio station will no longer air Trump briefings

KUOW-FM in Washington state will no longer air President Donald Trump's press briefings because it says they contain "false or misleading information."
According to a Wednesday report in The Hill, the government-backed public radio station is putting the kibosh on White House briefings on COVID-19 because the information discussed "cannot be fact checked in real time."
In a tweeted statement, the station said, "KUOW is monitoring White House briefings for the latest news on coronavirus — and we will continue to share all news relevant to Washington State with our listeners. However, we will not be airing the briefings due to a pattern of false or misleading information provided that cannot be fact checked in real time."
At the time of this writing, Washington state has seen at least 2,469 COVID-19 cases. At least 123 people have died because of the virus.
A spokesperson for the White House told the Hill that the radio station's move is "not surprising."
“It's not surprising, but also a failure of their duty to the American people, that some media outlets would choose to block their audiences from receiving accurate, up-to-date information on President Trump's whole-of-government approach to slowing the spread of COVID-19," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said that "no other administration has been as transparent and accessible as [the Trump administration]."
"[W]e will continue to make sure this Nation hears from its leaders and top health experts during this global pandemic," the statement concluded.

Uh... what? What has been shared during these briefings that is either false or misleading?

Look at the glass half full; they know Trump’s leadership is a positive to most people. Just think, if he was a blithering idiot like Sleepy Joe, they’d be airing him non-stop.

They are actually right about this.
There is plenty of false information coming out of those briefings.
It's not coming from the podium though.

Lmao so no news should be broadcasted live then. Like news stations give a frick if the reported information is true.

Apparently, the WH has told the public that ingesting fish bowl cleaner is NOT okay. Some portions of the public have ingested it with great success.

Well under 1% even with them stacking bodies at that nursing home.

Cut the funding

Here's a roundabout way to contact these filthy pieces of shite.
KUOW page
Scroll all the way down the page and in the middle you can submit an idea for a story. I didn't see a "contact us" place on their site, but this should work. If I posted on here what I sent to those filthy pussies I would be banned.
eta: Go further down and they also have a "contact us/feedback link I missed earlier." Oops.

OOPs, no jobs available.

It seems like people, as a whole) are more interested and paying attention to the Cuomo speeches than Trump. All the network and cable news channels are now broadcasting the Cuomo speeches live.
