The Kyiv Independent is an excellent and, above all, independent Ukrainian news website. https://kyivindependent.com/
Very well-researched articles and, above all, the site is openly readable and not hidden behind a paywall! This medium works neither for an oligarch nor for the Ukrainian government, but is truly free. Further informations on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kyiv_Independent
This freedom costs money, it is mainly financed by the community, which appreciates and supports this work.
If you want to read independent information from Ukraine, I recommend “The Kyiv Independent”, if you want to support independent journalism, visit this site: https://kyivindependent.com/membership/

Your #mastoadmin teams keep #Mastodon humming—purely on community support. Even $5/mo helps cover hosting and moderation. Donate to your server if you can.
But if you have to choose, please fund PBS / NPR and local public media first: Trump and his billionaire allies are waging a war to gut public media. Independent voices matter.

Democracy depends on a free press, and independent voices matter.
Ebenso, wie die Gräueltaten der Hamas und Forderung nach deren Freilassung.
Falls mir jemand folgt, der mit der Gewalt und Mordaufrufen sympathisiert oder die forciert,
verschwindet und blockiert mich!

Ich wünsche ihm Sicherheit und ganz viel Kraft! Ich hoffe, der Alptraum findet endlich ein Ende.
Golly Mr President, what do you have to hide? #freepress #USPol

Longtime White House reporters say the result has been an erosion of their independence. They say the increased attention toward pro-#Trump media personalities, who *rarely* [never] challenge the admin’s talking points, has undercut the briefings as a space to relay accurate information to the American public & hold the president to account.
The #Trump admin has handpicked which #news #media outlets can participate in the presidential #PressPool, & on Tues it eliminated a slot reserved for reporters from independent newswires.
In the briefing room, ofcls have made room for a new cohort of more #partisan attendees, like #RightWing podcasters, who ask less-adversarial questions than traditional #journalists.…

The White House says it's eliminating the traditional press pool access for wire services after a federal court ordered the administration to end viewpoint discrimination against the AP.”
Trump defies the law again.
La liberté de la #presse se fragilise de jour en jour, notamment aux Etats Unis (quelle surprise) mais c'est le cas aussi en Europe.
Ne baissez pas la garde. Restez critique sans entrer dans la paranoïa ou la haine.
@Mediagazer Of *all* the private entities bowing down to unlawful Executive Orders (which, even if they were lawful, would only apply to the Executive Branch), press outlets with #1A protections are the WORST. #Reuters #DEIA #FreeSpeech #FreePress #USPol #Media
If you are not already following Freedom of the Press Foundation at https://social.freedom.press/@freedomofpress --I highly recommend it.
#Trump to Ask #Congress to Claw Back Funding From #NPR & #PBS
Trump admin officials want legislators to rescind $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides some support for public media.

Sunday night’s post about #CBS is the latest example of #Trump encouraging his appointees to apply government pressure against his critics. In recent months, Carr has flaunted his MAGA credentials & launched #FCC investigations of several media outlets Trump has derided, including #ABC & #NBC. Carr was photographed last week wearing a gold pin with a silhouette of Trump’s head [wtf?].
#Trump urges the #FCC to punish ‘#60Minutes’ over reports on #Greenland & #Ukraine
Trump has a “hope” for his Federal Communications Commission: that the agency will punish #CBS for airing “60 Minutes” reports he doesn’t like.
Apparently angered by Sunday night’s “60 Minutes” telecast, Trump wrote on Truth Social about his ongoing legal battle w/CBS & its parent company, Paramount Global.
