Checkbook Journalism: Bought & Paid for Climate ‘News’: NPR Announces
Facebook’s Zuckerberg & Rockefeller Foundation Will Be funding NPR’s ‘Climate Desk’
NPR's SVP of News and Editorial Director Nancy Barnes: "No story touches as many people as climate change. Heat waves, mega-droughts and unprecedented floods are all becoming more intense and frequent. Climate related weather disasters are upending the way people live from China to California, from Pakistan to Florida. These extreme events have caused a global food crisis, the rise of new diseases and the displacement of millions of people," added Kissack. "With the NPR newsroom and Member stations, we'll strive to do stories that shape the national conversation on climate change." ... NPR's climate expansion has also been made possible by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, whose funding is helping NPR to add a new Climate Solutions reporter, as well as The Rockefeller Foundation, whose support will allow for more local and regional reporting on how climate change affects the most vulnerable populations.

Morano: "NPR will now have no reason to practice journalism when it comes to coverage of 'climate change' as their reporters will be funded by Facebook and Rockefeller. You can bet that NPR's paid press releases on behalf of climate activists will violate every basic tenant of journalism and instead be only be the approved messaging of their paymasters."
