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.
The evidence is tweets coming from a platform that literally cannot be trusted. This is a click bait article.

From FOX News talking about how Trump wants to defund PBS.
this is a years-old article, not relevant to the current controversy
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.
Ignore him. He’s sea lioning.
And not very well, either
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith.
LMFAO
no. i said what i meant. your article is irrelevant to the current controversy. putting words in my mouth is the height of bad faith interaction, though.
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.
And yet, it’s not whatsoever difficult to imagine the dictator in chief pulling their funding for this, and I won’t be surprised if it happens. I hope there’s something left of the country I grew up in four years from now. I think we’re at the start of a long, rough road.
