It’s always funny to listen to the libs talk about NPR in glowing terms, when practically all the news shows are funded by the Kochs, Fords, and Rockefellers.
“The US doesn’t have state-affiliated media”
-This remark fact checked by NewsCorp, who are definitely not beholden to the rich and powerful
They had a dude on back in 2017 to talk about his book that was called something like “white nationalism is good actually”
I hate-listen to it. Like cool be a different style from commercial radio and machismo, but don’t be so damn effete about everything all the time for god’s sake. Like “how to feel less bad in your soul-crushing dystopian worklife.” Pseudo-intellectualism with no real materialist analysis. They act like they bring more diversity of voices than they really do.
The local affiliate OPB does some good reporting sometimes at least (they were the only outlet not to simply repeat what police said about the Normandale Park shooting during BLM protests), but NPR is so lame and fake.
Regarding politics and business, NPR will run a good article every now and again. But usually they just quote cops directly and do liberal capitalist propaganda straight. Maybe 1 out of 20 articles they run actually question or challenge capitalist interests. Not a terrible rate for an American “Publicly funded” news org.
its just for plausible deniability “nooo! We’re not capital interest funded! See? We posted an article about how mcdonalds workers when asked repored frownie faces more than smilie faces!!!”
to be fair, the first time i listened to NPR
was on, and had his own show, which was pretty surprising. still lib thoJournalists stop being condescending challenge: impossible
I heart pinko commie scum
Listening to right wing radio is simultaneously funny, horrifying, and annoying. Listening to NPR makes me enter a white hot rage.
