+1 Not one DCUM Democrat would ever admit that he is absolutely correct. I admire him for taking this stance and saying what needed to be said. NPR simply panders to the left. There is zero neutrality there. At least Fox News is a private corporation - NPR exists on the taxpayer dime. Disgraceful. |
+100 Yep. Why on earth are taxpayers funding what amounts to a wing of the Democratic party? |
Wow the Republicans really think they got a live one here.
Why are they ignoring the fact that NPR was forced to say something negative about Democrats every time they said something negative about Trump? Is that not an issue somehow? You guys just want purely positive coverage for Herr Drumpf? |
TBH - Xavier Becerra has been pretty invisible as HHS Secretary, Avril Haines isn't a fan of the spotlight, Tom Vilsack has done this rodeo before... he is just going through the motions, and the less Jennifer Granholm says, the better - she seems to be afflicted with foot in mouth. So, it's not surprising they have little media attention. |
What? Please cite whatever it is you're talking about. No one has even implied what you claim. Neutrality shouldn't be so hard to achieve, especially at a PUBLICALLY FUNDED "news" outlet. |
This is not aging well. |
DP. I'd just love to see a citation for the PP's claim. Still waiting. |
Not PP but I’m surprised if you’re following this story that you haven’t seen this piece by Alicia Montgomery, who was at NPR from 1997 (before Berliner) until 2020. “Uri’s account of the deliberate effort to undermine Trump up to and after his election is also bewilderingly incomplete, inaccurate, and skewed. For most of 2016, many NPR journalists warned newsroom leadership that we weren’t taking Trump and the possibility of his winning seriously enough. But top editors dismissed the chance of a Trump win repeatedly, declaring that Americans would be revolted by this or that outrageous thing he’d said or done. I remember one editorial meeting where a white newsroom leader said that Trump’s strong poll numbers wouldn’t survive his being exposed as a racist. When a journalist of color asked whether his numbers could be rising because of his racism, the comment was met with silence. In another meeting, I and a couple of other editorial leaders were encouraged to make sure that any coverage of a Trump lie was matched with a story about a lie from Hillary Clinton. Another colleague asked what to do if one candidate just lied more than the other. Another silent response. I left NPR in the early fall of 2016, but when I came back to work on Morning Edition about a year later, I saw NO trace of the anti-Trump editorial machine that Uri references. On the contrary, people were at pains to find a way to cover Trump’s voters and his administration fairly. We went full-bore on “diner guy in a trucker hat” coverage and adopted the “alt-right” label to describe people who could accurately be called racists. The network had a reflexive need to stay on good terms with people in power, and journalists who had contacts within the administration were encouraged to pursue those bookings.” https://slate.com/business/2024/04/npr-diversity-public-broadcasting-radio.html |
9:09 gave you your citation with full quotes. As I said: you guys are so mad that reality has a liberal bias. |
Hmmm it got really quiet in here. Meanwhile, today marks four years since Trump suggested getting disinfectant or powerful light into the body to cure Covid. Here’s how the “liberal media” reacted - by not even noticing, much less noting, how insane that suggestion is to make by the President on live television with millions of scared and desperate people watching. Including this famous tweet that the New York Times later deleted. https://presswatchers.org/2020/04/washington-press-corps-covers-up-trumps-profound-stupidity/ |
This made me giggle. |
