[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love it if NPR brought in some centrist or centrist-right talent to balance the programming.

I've been an NPR fan for 20+ years, but it has been way, way too leftist in recent years. I know this can just be me, right?  It has become the radio version of MSNBC.

I realize this will never happen, but I may eventually just tune out entirely. [/quote]

Disagree.  It's exactly what it's been my whole life.  As close to neutral as we have in this country.

In terms of inside scuttlebutt...I have none.  But...someone I talk to a lot who works at NPR and who fits into some of the categories discussed has done some general eye rolling to me lately about office culture there.  This is someone in management who's been there a long time.  It does seem like morale is, shall we say, not high.[/quote]

This show has 1 hour a day on WAMU 4 days a week, https://wamu.org/show/the-takeaway Can you read those show descriptions and say they sounds anything other than far left? Is there anything similarly far right that balances it? The morning and evening drives are more neutral, but NPR as a whole is not. [/quote]

Have you actually listened to The Takeaway? It's hardly far left. More like-middle aged mom issues from a Black lady's perspective. I'm not Black, but I enjoy this show.[/quote]
