'The legacy media is pure propaganda,' Musk said.

Summary

Trump supporters are calling to defund PBS after it reported that Elon Musk’s post-inauguration gesture resembled a Nazi salute.

PBS described it as “similar to the ‘Sieg Heil’ used by Nazis,” sparking conservative backlash, with figures like Tomi Lahren and Rep. Andy Biggs accusing PBS of propaganda.

Musk denied the claim and criticized “legacy media” and Wikipedia for bias.

Calls to defund PBS align with longstanding conservative goals and plans like Project 2025, which includes eliminating public media funding under a new Trump administration.

        So, what you’re saying is that you personally did a big search yourself and couldn’t find anything that made you think Trump was thinking about doing this? Nothing at all from any reliable source?

        Also, I didn’t use the newest article I could find, I picked the first I could find from a Right source so there’d be no possible bias.

            It’s called ‘sarcasm.’ Obviously, I didn’t expect you to do any research whatever. I did expect you to ignore my explanation, so I’m two for two.
