They are hilarious. Almost sounds like a parody account but sadly real

Every last one of them is ultra-left wing and cannot stand people who are different from them. They are not tolerant.

I can’t speak for anyone else but I think anyone who is a Republican in 2024 is a total POS. There isn’t a single valid reason unless you’re anti-democracy, anti-diversity, anti-LGBTQ, anti-woman, anti-environment, or anti-fact.

After the last several years, I have no patience for their bullcrap.

DP. Yeah, this is what the PP was talking about. This is the opposite of tolerance.

I'm a gay man and voting for the Republicans this year. I guess I'm a contradictory POS

No, you're either self-hating or uninformed.

She is about 1200 pounds so I assume she is ill often.

I figured she was undergoing a sex change surgery.

I can’t imagine you have ever met someone ultra left wing. We have our issues with NPR’s bias towards power and the middle. And towards the status quo.

They take pride in being bigoted a-holes.

There are zero valid reasons to vote for Rs this year.

What YOU view as bullcrap. Does not mean it's a fact.

Well, I hope you have a lot of patience because with this attitude from Biden’s voters, Trump is going to win. You sound totally crazy.

In any event, it’s people like you with your blind and excessive tribalism that are destroying NPR. I suspect their reporters and new CEO feel exactly the same as you, and as a result are completely blind to any news that even slightly negatively implicate a Democrat. As a result NPR will continue to spiral downwards, which is a significant loss.

Not to surprising but it really is a shame how NPR has gone downhill.

Now even less of a balance left

I would really implore folks to read the response from (fellow white male) Steve Inskeep to the Berliner piece. He takes time to point out the factual inaccuracies in the Berliner article. Not stuff that is up for discussion, just flat out shoddy research that should have gone through minimal fact checking before being published.

If Berliner has resigned, it is at least in part due to being hoisted on his own petard, by accusing NPR of bias while publishing a piece that would never have made it through fact-checking at any reputable paper.

Correct. I'm your normal middle-aged Resistance Lib wine mom, and think NPR is fine. But my friends/colleagues on the actual left think it is institutionalist garbage serving the interests of corporate America. I think they are wrong, but the idea that the "far left" loves NPR suggests the PP has never met someone who is actually on the left.
