Why is NPR allowed to be so far left?

Don't we pay for this? It's basically MSNBC radio. Non stop Trump bashing, non stop white guilt, non stop LGTQ crap, and every other hour is at least one sympathetic reference to immigration (both legal and illegal).

I don't care what LGTQ people do. I don't know anyone who does.

NPR seems pretty mainstream to me.

I agree. Waste of taxpayers’ money.

Example please. Are they open, yes. Conservative, no, but I do not see them as biased. I turn MSNBC on for that.

Why is LGBQ info crap? Maybe Trump gets bashed because he is a legitimate idiot. Every newspaper has bashed him too. Are the conservative newspapers that trashed him crap too?

Our radios are set to NPR in our cars, bedroom, office, and kitchen. We listen to it all the time, but their interviews frequently "lean left." We're fairly conservative, and I find it rather amusing that their interviewers will frame questions in a way that sets up the conservative candidate or policy as "concerning to many Americans." So obvious. Of course, they're using perfect English and speaking with a well-modulated, concerned tone of voice to express their thoughts.

2% of NPR's budget comes from the government. 15% for PBS.

Sorry (not sorry) if you're bored by facts, numbers, and special interest stories.

I meant they can do what they want. I have a ton of conservative family not a single one gives a flying crap about where anyone goes the bathroom or any other of these wedge issues NPR constantly shoves down viewers' throats. It is totally a lefty propaganda arm. I listen to it at work and it's frequently nauseating and phony.

NPR has "conservative" voices on all the time - David Brooks, Ross Douthout, etc. Lots of in-depth stories about religion. They are also frequent critics of Obamacare, national security policies, lack of accountability of police and local governments, and (lack of) whistleblower protections. WAMU in DC is extremely critical of the DC government.

I feel that they've always been fair and stuck to the facts.

But they vote for people who do care.

Great. Should be 0%.
