Good point. PBS has a similar slant. C-Span is probably the only neutral station but it's like watching paint dry. The making of that sausage is boring AF.They are state run media. That's why they always need money.
This is the problem with NPR: They are actually wonderful storytellers. Probably the best in all of media, so you combine effective storytelling with propaganda, and it's very effective in hoodwinking the sheep.I remember driving up to our summer home and listening to NPR on how to combat climate change. A "woke" topic to begin with, but I was hoping that they would talk about how to plant more trees (shade, carbon absorption), greener building materials, etc. Fine.
The whole session turned into "system tree equity" and devolved from there. Even some very liberal friends who were driving with us, just said, "this exhausting. turn it off...".
Every time I turn it on, it is a mouthpiece for coastal progressive thinking. I am fine if that is part of the thinking (to a fault, I believe in free speech), but then have on someone from the right (and they should be thoughtful and respectful) and allow people to understand, for example, why MTG is thinking about a "national divorce" and if anything, it is unoriginal.
What I will say about NPR, for the most part, is they don't hide their bias. If you listen critically they will often at least mention a counter argument with a 90/10 slant to the left.This is the problem with NPR: They are actually wonderful storytellers.

Wild guess, but @Uniformed_ReRe listens religiously.
This. I do not listen to npr discuss anything of import.What I will say about NPR, for the most part, is they don't hide their bias. If you listen critically they will often at least mention a counter argument with a 90/10 slant to the left.
CNN/MSNBC, etc are 100% intellectually dishonest and act like any counter argument is a conspiracy theory (or doesn't even exist).
Yea, but even when you listen to their educational stuff they break in with "news" updates..This. I do not listen to npr discuss anything of import.
Now if they have a show about the evolution of the blues in the early 1900s or primitive musical instruments I'm all in.
I don't pay attention to those or their constant fundraising.Yea, but even when you listen to their educational stuff they break in with "news" updates..
Now weight scales are systemic racism?
PBS "used to" air some really great concerts (like one in Texas with Stevie Ray Vaughn) Otherwise, lame sauce. The last time I watched it Ghost and I watched the J6 Boy Scout Jamboree in real time. 😂This. I do not listen to npr discuss anything of import.

"Twitter has outed us for being the propaganda arm of the Deep State so we will not be participating anymore"
The left has a sincere affliction for anything that resembles reality.I don’t see why being labeled “state affiliated” is so upsetting to NPR. They receive a greater percentage of their funding from the government than most “state” universities.
LOL.........totally unexpected! We were talking about PBS before they made their move.
From NPR to staff:
"It would be a disservice to the serious work you all do here to continue to share it on a platform that is associating the federal charter for public media with an abandoning of editorial independence or standards."
Cuck Broadcasting Corporation!!!! BScuck!!! 😂
By accurately defining them as state funded, we're attacking them?
Interesting take Mr. Prime Minister.
The Deep State doesn't like having their assets identified as the Deep State propaganda media puppets they are. It's not country specific, but it's consistent across a broad spectrum.Yeah. I don’t get how this is controversial.
I believe it's the negative connotation of state run media.If it wasn’t already common knowledge, I could see how they might be pissy over being “exposed.” But everyone already knows these outlets are government-funded.
Exactly!! They don't like being called out for being what they are. It's like a tranny not liking being called their biological sex. Watch your pronouns ReRe!!!!I believe it's the negative connotation of state run media.
I believe it's the negative connotation of state run media.
I don't need to look that far. Pravda and Baghdad Bob are excellent examples of state run media.And that negative connotation is implied...because that's how people (accurately imho) view state funded media.
Sorry not sorry. When I was a kid, and maybe I'm wrong about this because I was a stupid kid, it seemed like PBS went WAY out of their way to be non-partisan. They went to great lengths to give both (or multiple) perspectives. It was about education, not indoctrination.
Sadly it's true in the USA. NY Times, Washington Post, and all of their subsidiaries are no longer really journalism, they are all leftist echo chambers. Look no further than the Florida Times Onion, subscribers and readers got sick of their shit. Now it's run out of St Augustine by basically a subcontractor. That's sad AF for a city of one million people. But that's how much suckage it became. That's what happens when free markets happen and vote with their dollars.I don't need to look that far. Pravda and Baghdad Bob are excellent examples of state run media.
