The focus was \u2063on\u2064 the budget cuts\u200b affecting USAID,with NPR&#8217;s \u2064Asthma khalid warning that \u2063these cuts might lead to increased poverty and \u2063starvation. Another journalist, Anne Applebaum, framed the cuts as a &#8220;test \u200dcase\u200b of cruelty,&#8221; suggesting they could result in death, alluding\u200b to potential human suffering \u200cfrom budget reductions in government programs. The\u2062 piece portrays\u2064 these comments as exaggerated and indicative \u2063of what the author \u200drefers to as &#8220;Trump Derangement Syndrome,&#8221; critiquing the panel&#8217;s\u2063 lack \u200dof rational analysis regarding government spending and presenting \u2064their views as biased. The article concludes with a rating of \u2062&#8221;five \u2063out\u200b of five screams,&#8221; emphasizing its view of the media&#8217;s portrayal of the situation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Liberal Media Scream: PBS airs extreme TDS, &lsquo;starvation,&rsquo; &lsquo;death&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1989895\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>This week&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3309082\/liberal-media-scream-call-msnbc-weekly-trump-impeachment-votes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Liberal Media Scream<\/a> features a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">PBS<\/a> freak panel of left-wing journalists spewing the most extreme anti-Trump analysis of the cost-cutting by the White House and efficiency agency headed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elon-musk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Elon Musk.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>While discussing the fate of USAID, which President Donald Trump&rsquo;s team closed and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">shifted spending authority<\/a> to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a reporter for National Public Radio warned to others nodding yes that the impact will be &ldquo;poverty and increased starvation.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then an <em>Atlantic<\/em> reporter, formerly with the <em>Washington Post,<\/em> said on the tax-subsidized PBS show <em>Washington Week with The Atlantic<\/em> that cutting by Trump and Musk of the federal world aid slush fund would lead to &ldquo;cruelty and death.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The language used by the reporters are just two examples of the type of Trump Derangement Syndrome attacks on Musk and the president&rsquo;s efforts to root out waste and fraud in government programs.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Starvation and Death Ahead Thanks to Elon Musk, PBS and NPR Contend\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pDDxrX7Z8Ho?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>From the February 7 edition of <em>Washington Week with The Atlantic<\/em> on PBS:<\/p>\n<p><strong>ASTHMA KHALID, NPR:<\/strong> <em>There&rsquo;s something I think very strange at this moment of seeing the world&rsquo;s richest man really sort of take a hatchet that will essentially take people who are already in the depths of poverty and, you know, increase starvation rates, or increase hunger rates, which is likely what will happen if USAID is entirely cut off.&rdquo;&hellip;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>ANNE APPLEBAUM, THE <em>ATLANTIC<\/em>:<\/strong> <em>It&rsquo;s a test case for can agencies just be abolished without Congress having any say, but it&rsquo;s also a test case of cruelty.
