[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We go through this every.single.time. this dumb thread gets recycled. I’ll take the time to list out the wide list of stores/perspectives shared over any random day. Then the complainers slink away for several months, only to reappear later with the same fake complaints. [/quote]

Maybe it keeps reappearing because it's a real thing, and thus worth discussing. Just a thought.

Sincerely,

Not Slinking Away[/quote]

It’s not. If you actually listened to it you’d hear a variety of stories/perspectives. The right just wants to discredit non-crazy news sources leading up to the election.

I completely disagree. I am far from right wing and agree 100% that NPR is very left of center and narrative driven. It is rare that I hear objective reporting, what journalism should be. [b]A news network should not be trying to shape public opinion. That is exactly what NPR tries to do.[/b][/quote]

100% this. We stopped donating and listening this year.[/quote]

Listening to facts is so very tiring isn't it.[/quote]

The NPR defenders making comments like this, wholesale dismissing what people are saying about their own experiences listening to NPR, calling it right-wing nonsense and starting to suggest conspiracy theories about undermining news sources before the election—this is so incredibly frustrating about the left in 2024. Isn’t it possible that people very like you in many ways are dissatisfied with NPR and the direction it has taken? Why is that so crazy? NPR itself I am sure would say that its focus HAS changed—for example, they are intentionally doing a lot more post-2020-racial-reckoning about identity and race. For some people, this has resulted in what feels like ideology rather than fact-based news reporting. That’s not wildly crazy to imagine; it’s clear to anyone paying attention that both left and right have become increasingly intolerant of dissent. [/quote]

And you shut down anyone who doesn't feel like you do. I'm not that left wing and I listen regularly and I see mostly unbiased news.[/quote]
