This is Associated Press reporting that happens to be on NPR's site.

NPR is indeed as extreme as the bizarre incel subculture, only it’s swung to the extreme left of both American politics and culture.

I’m related to someone who is trans and gay but extremely feminine appearing and AFAB. So….. born female, looks female, has a long time boyfriend who was identified at birth and has always identified as male. Mom is militantly queer.

How are they trans then? Or do they identify as male?

As I was driving home today NPR was promoting a story about the basketball player named Britney who was jailed in Russia. But then the person being interviewed was a man. Hunh??

New pp here. Since that pp said that they're AFAB, that means that their family member identifies as something other than a woman. It could be a man or some nonbinary identity.

She has a deep voice.

But, the real laugh there is NPR holding up as some sort of hero an imbecile so stupid as to bring weed in to Russia and then act as if she is wronged. All because she is black and gay.

Could you please explain how they held her up as a hero, as opposed to interviewing a famous person who just published a book?

I'm eager to hear. Are they putting up a statue in the lobby or something?

Did you listen to the piece or are you just some lobbyist for black and queer drug addicts?

The entire piece was sympathetic to her, praised her strength for enduring such 'hardship' and never even asked how could one be so stupid as to bring illegal drugs into a foreign nation, especially so when you are a high profile American.

Why is her voice so deep?

NPR has been pretty open-minded and tolerant for decades.

Claims that NPR is far left show how far right MAGA has pushed American politics.

Many many outlets are talking with her right now, because of her book. You sound like a racist homophobe grasping at straws to try and join this thread and seem cool. You are an ass.

People who were so bothered by coverage of the BLM movement etc. never really were as left or even moderate as they thought they were. They want everything to be all-white all the time again.

This is a ridiculous statement. Covering BLM movement isn't the problem. It is the biased reporting that's the problem. It's the hyper focus on stories about marginalized communities that has become tedious and repetitive. It is the chatty, talk show host style of many of the hosts that is annoying.

Some people probably like these changes and that NPR needs to modernize. However, NPR listeners have dropped from 60 million to 40 million and sponsors have declined. Clearly, lots of listeners don't like what they are offering.l

The show you are referring to is "Fresh Air," which is a long running interview show hosted by Terry Gross. If you are not interested in Brittany Griner's story that is fine. But interviewing someone is not holding them up as a hero. But I am not surprised that you are unable to understand that distinction.

I am an immigrant. NPR was amazing to me, the wide range of topics the insistence on interviewing both sides of an issue.
I think it is pretty unbiased and fair.
