[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]For the past two weeks, turmoil has engulfed NPR after a senior editor assailed what he described as an extreme liberal bias inside the organization that has bled into its news coverage. The editor, Uri Berliner, said [b]NPR’s leaders had placed race and identity[/b] as “paramount in nearly every aspect of the workplace” — at the expense of diverse political viewpoints, and at the risk of losing its audience.[/quote] No shit. Anyone with ears knows this. Every. Single. Piece. They publish includes one of the following words "black, gay, trans, oppressed, minority, race, or identity" It isn't about news coverage. It's about an agenda.[/quote] This is BS. I was listening this morning and not one piece about that. They were talking with people in China about the economy. There was a period in 2021 or so after George Floyd when it felt this way. It was a huge social movement. When I felt myself getting annoyed, I took a breath and thought, for decades it's been all-white-all-the-time. It was a reckoning for us to have to listen to these stories and give them consideration. It is okay to be made uncomfortable sometimes. You can reflect. You might not change your mind. But it is good to listen to other perspectives. Now a few years later, there are still some identity-based stories, but not nearly so many. Lots of coverage is just news of the day. [/quote] They've lost millions of listeners who disagree with you.[/quote] Agree and I also am done with NPR. It is ruined beyond repair. Kinda hilarious many here don’t see that (or don’t want to see).[/quote] +1 The loss of 18 million listeners is so great that one poster didn't believe it. Of course, the NY Times was the source, so we assume that number is true. [/quote]
