Yes she was right on that story about Clarence Thomas and his 30 plus year relationship with luxury trip, private jet flights, and a real estate transaction with a Texas billionaire. Wonder what other important stories her missed?

I was up early this morning and wanted to watch the 9-11 coverage on tv. None of the networks were broadcasting it. I was really surprised. So not surprised radio stations were not covering it.

I listen in the car as well as with the Tunein Radio on my phone while I walk the dog and at home on my Alexa.
When I travel for work, I love using Tunein to listen to my home-local radio station no matter where I am.


Me, too.

Maybe. Or maybe not letting kids that age access the leftist propaganda BS that is NPR.


LOL. “Leftist propaganda”?!

First paragraph of Elliot Wikipedia page:

As of 2005, Elliot in the Morning had been the cause of the fifth largest amount of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fines since 1970, with $302,500 worth of fines leveled at the show.[1] As a result, while the show still frequently involves euphemistic mentions of sexual topics, it is broadcast with a short tape delay, and is occasionally "dumped" to canned music for profanity.

But a streamed NPR story on a library computer is corrupting young minds

My 4th grade son came home two years ago after having listened to this 23 minute podcast at school (that he accessed through his classroom online virtual library, on his county issued Chromebook) telling me that someday he could have a baby! Try untangling that at bedtime with a 10 year old because surely if my teacher let me watch it and it was on the internet it must be true.

Transcript:
[Scarlett] Why can girls have babies but boys can’t?
[Jane] That's Scarlett. She's seven years old and lives in Los Angeles, California and she wants to know why girls can have babies but boys cannot?
[Cory] This is a really good question Scarlett and I have a kind of surprising answer for you because even though you've probably only ever heard of women having babies and even though almost all the time it is girls or women that have babies sometimes it's different. So I need to explain this part, to give birth what you need is you need the uterus. People who have uteruses are the ones that can give birth. A baby can come out of your body because the uterus is the part where the baby grows. But most people who have a uterus are girls or women. But sometimes a boy or man can have a uterus and those men with a uterus can give birth. So it is true that almost all the time it's girls that have babies but not all of the time.


Just one of a million reasons I have tuned out NPR completely.

NPR is now a joke; a farce. It isn’t news anymore, and only entertaining so far as how absurd it has become.

OP- 46. I use a 15 year old, $20, waterproof Sony radio because it's easier, better, and safer than my phone. And the batteries last like two years. You would employ a far more complicated manner I presume?


What level of mental static do you have that you can’t shower without entertainment

Rambling about intersectionalities is such a good way to put it. Just … fluff.

Prove it. These are today's local stories. https://wamu.org/
Morning Edition: https://www.npr.org/programs/morning-edition/
1A:https://the1a.org/ Tomorrow's show
Here and Now:https://www.wbur.org/radio/programs/hereandnow
ATC: https://www.npr.org/programs/all-things-considered/

This is today and pretty representative of content. I think confirmation bias has reared its head--you hear what you think you hear.


Oh sweet Jesus. At least own it. I can't remember a single story in the last year about the struggles ofg cis white males. I'm sure youre chuckling right now, but thats my point.

Are they the only group in America not deserving of empathy? How many stories do we need beaten into our heads about how hard it is to be gay..... in 2023!!!


I don't even know how to respond to this. You obviously don't really listen to NPR and annoyed that there are not enough stories about white cis males? How do you kno?
