silly me, I thought this was a #US problem.

I guess corporate media gonna be corporate all over everywhere.

Who are your #independent #journalists? If they're on #mastodon, I'd like to #follow them.

For decades, the #Energy #Information Admin, an #independent agency housed inside the Dept of Energy, has provided crucial reports on everything from #oil & #gas to the future of #AlternativeEnergy. Relied on by oil CEOs & govt #policymakers alike, #EIA’s data has been called the “gold standard” by Daniel Yergin, vice chair of S&P Global & an éminence grise in the oil world. No less a source than #Project2025 described the EIA as historically providing “independent & impartial analysis.”

“The earliest steps were to impose severe restrictions on all public-facing agency activity, fire the #independent #InspectorGeneral, rescind job offers, & institute a hiring freeze,” the #states’ lawsuit said. “The next steps were to remove the existing key leaders within the agencies unsympathetic to Secretary Kennedy’s favored views, & fire tens of thousands of the rank & file. This coordinated dismantling has stopped crucial work that plaintiff states relied upon.”

#Trump, who has long accused #PBS & #NPR of *biased* [lie-free] coverage, signed an #ExecutiveOrder late Thurs seeking to end federal #funding for the 2 broadcasters. The immediate impact of the order was unclear. NPR & PBS get a small portion of their funds from #Congress through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, an #independent organization that funds #PublicMedia.
