[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they should have let this blow by, stop being a story. [b]Suspending him looks bad, imo.[/b][/quote] They didn't really have much choice. Per the article, he violated company policy. Letting him slide opens the door for other employees to do the same thing.[/quote] Can't have anyone letting taxpayers know that NPR has a bias in their reporting. Gotta pretend otherwise. [/quote] Oh get over yourself. EVERY news source has bias in their reporting, because it is done by human beings. Every single solitary one of us has biases. If you think there is a truly unbiased news source out there, I have a bridge to sell you. I read the piece and I understand some of what he is saying, but he's exaggerating. The idea that NPR owes some kind of big public apology is asinine. The reaction on here is over the top. There is no doubt there were more progressive pieces since 2020, but not in some way that means their reporting is false or unreliable in the way so many right-wing outlets are. Back in 2021-2022 there were, it felt like, a lot of grievance stories. But that was a point in time after George Floyd. I don't think it was all bad. Many of us needed to hear these perspectives, even if we disagree or they make us feel uncomfortable. I don't think the stories are as common right now. And the real truth is, some of the problem is that the right won't ever come to the table to discuss these things in good faith. If you really try to cover the nuance, they take a kernel of the real story, twist it, and then run with that. And so many Americans are too stupid for the nuance. Sorry, but it is true. And there is too much on the right wing side that is outright false, outright conspiracy theory nonsense. No one needs to air that BS.[/quote] You need to get over YOURself. I contributed to the local station and listened to NPR every day for 20 years-- in my car while driving and on multiple radios at home. If you enjoy it, then great. Not for me.[/quote]
