    KUTV is considered a “center” news source so I hope that will be acceptable for you.

    I don’t know anything about NOAA so I can’t speak to that particular topic at this time, but I am curious so I will be taking a look when I get a chance.

    You are absolutely fucking right that the DOD is a giant money burning machine. 5k for 1 screw or whatever that meme was (assuming it’s true) is just downright irresponsible spending. Something tells me they won’t be touching DOD, but we can remain hopeful that it will be receiving similar scrutiny.

    And yes it seems unlikely that Musk and gang are gonna throw the books of space x open for the public but you never know. We are in a wild fuckin timeline right now.

      Your source, KUTV, is a Sinclair owned station. They have an insane pro-fascism bias. You might want to find a balanced informed source rather than a propaganda source.

        They specifically don’t use ownership as a measurement for bias. They rate news outlets on the content only.

        I doubt that will do much to change your opinion on the matter but I figured I would at least let you know where I got the information that KUTV was a center news source.

        I try to keep myself informed from news sources across the spectrum, but that is often easier said than done.

          And that’s a mistake. Sinclair’s owners heavily influence content and across the board they interject roght leaning takes. This is the news network known for making dictates to share soecific right wing talking points as this clip from PBS will show. If ypu watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver you 'll recognize this clip.

          I don’t know who this rating is but I wouldn’t place any faith in them based on this.

          Again neigh impossible unless you are fairly comfortable to get a good news source that is conservative as there is only one in English at this moment.
