Or masochistic. |
Which doesn’t seem to be what NPR is willing to do any more. That’s why we are in this mess. |
I don't think NPR is perfect. I don't think any news organization is perfect. But I think this hit job is also off the mark and full of inaccuracies. NPR is not as far-left as people are claiming. |
Please give an example of a far-left position that was reported without fact checking. I'm truly asking. |
Or worse, when those people claim to be Democrats and then talk about how the "far left" loves NPR. I actually am to the left of you, and think NPR is fine too. Sure, it dabbles in a bit too much both-sidesism, but does less than most other outlets without descending into hysterics. Actual far left types hate it. |
PP, do you think Christopher Rufo would call off the dogs and become an NPR listener if she did any of what you suggest? |
Why does that matter? Why on earth should her goal be to make a listener out of Rufo? She is the CEO. She should be able to stand behind or address tweets that she literally wrote. If she cannot handle her own tweets being surfaced and mocked by someone like Rufo, she should not be CEO. The whole idea that the CEO of a supposedly rigorous public news agency needs to have “dogs” called off is, candidly, insane. If she can’t handle something as milquetoast as her own words being resurfaced, she can’t handle any actually hard editorial process or challenging journalism. |
She's the CEO. Her job is actually to stay out of the editorial process. |
Her job is to make sure NPR continues to be well-respected (something at serious risk now), get funding, and drive the organization forward successfully. All we know about her so far is that she’s punished a whistleblower, her feelings get hurt easily, and she can’t handle being mocked for ludicrous tweets she wrote herself. That doesn’t bode well for the organization at all. |
Tuned in this afternoon and there was yet another drag queen story … |
Rufo is a master at exploiting the giant traps that leftists set for themselves. |
Sorry, but NPR, is almost as biased as Fox. The organization doesn't have any conservative on staff or in editorial positions. That is crazy. And the imbalance is reflected in their programming. So many stores about how racist America is and how bad trump is.
The constant editorializing that the hosts do. Even Mary Louise Kelly, who is really good, tends to be really harsh when she interviews a conservative guest. And before anybody starts accusing me of being a MAGA loving trump supporter, I am a Democrat who always thought of myself as being a liberal but now feel out of touch with both the Democrats and NPR. |
+1 NPR jumped the shark a long time ago. They are now just a shill for Democrats. Which is fine, except for that minor issue of being funded by taxpayers! That funding needs to end, ASAP. |
No. Just someone voting to take away the rights of those they love. How many gays will lose healthcare and spousal benefits when the GOP does their next round of hetro only legislation. Will gay couples even be allowed to have kids? Their legislative goals are clearly stated |
Oh, yay - the unhinged fearmonger has entered the chat. DP |
