[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do still generally like NPR, but I find the CONSTANT discussion of race and gay/trans stuff very off putting.  There's so much to the world than all this stupid racial/sexual identity crap.

I am not surprised they have lost a big portion of the audience.

It’s not constant.  :roll: [/quote]

It never stops. And I am a raging lefty. [/quote]

Who doesn’t actually listen to it.  :roll: [/quote]

Then there are those like you who pretend nothing's wrong.   :wink: [/quote]

I would not say there is nothing wrong, but there are a lot of posters on here exaggerating about the number of stories about people from marginalized groups. I listen regularly and the number of grievance stories is way down from what it was 2-3 years ago.  If they are saying it's all the time, they either haven't listened lately or they aren't really paying attention.[/quote]

PP here. I haven't listened in 3 years. In order to regain all those millions of listeners like me, maybe they need to address the fact that they went in a wrong direction and have rectified their errors.  [/quote]

I've listened recently and it still seems like this to me. Sure, the main story is not in this vein, but it's like they'll go out of their way to find someone to comment or talk about it that has this type of angle [/quote]

+1. Even Up First doesn't give you just the biggest stories of the day, which is actually what I need to feel up to speed. It gives you a story or two, and then a story with an angle. At least, that's what was happening before I stopped listening 6 months ago. [/quote]
