[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]

So you consider any news stories or including perspective from marginalized groups "wrong"?[/quote]

DP. You know that’s not what people are saying. Of course including diverse perspectives isn’t “wrong” and personally I welcome it. It’s just when that swamps reporting. [/quote]
