thats a liberal outlet, always something to consider when shitting on Trump. liberals will read it and make a protest sign.
Ranking the media from liberal to conservative, based on their audiences - The Washington Post
"People who read BuzzFeed, Politico, The Washington Post and The New York Times all tend to be more liberal."... according to the Washington Post.
as far as the article, looks fucked up if you just read the headline. but all Trumps doin is not letting a $9.25 a month credit be used for internet, from what the article says. he's not taking away Lifeline. if he does, than it's a different story all together. i dont think anyone's even touched the $9.25 a month for the net.
they interviewed a business owner and threw the whole kid sob story in:
For Kajeet Inc., one of the companies that was initially granted permission to provide service through Lifeline, the news comes as a blow.
“I’m most concerned about the children we serve,” said Kajeet founder Daniel Neal. “We partner with school districts — 41 states and the District of Columbia — to provide educational broadband so that poor kids can do their homework.”
his business works with schools to teach little kids online. of course he wants that contract. but hey, schools, how about not giving mandatory lessons and homework online? not everybody has a computer or online access, or a stable home environment. if you send the kids a worksheet and/or book and even a pen if they dont have one at home, guess what? they can do the homework anywhere! and everybody can do it! i get it with college kids, but when we're talking about little kids, and even high schoolers, the idea runs into problems that wouldn't be there if the kid had a worksheet and pen. so bullshit argument.
again, according to the article, Trump doesn't seem to be taking away Lifeline, just a fairly new revision that no one touched. $9.25 a month is still available for phone service. but im sure there will be protest signs saying "Trump takes the poor's Lifeline".
