"NPR is a standard mainstream news organization, with a higher journalistic standard than most."
Besides being a contradictory statement, I'd like to see an unbiased, reputable source regarding the second half of your comment.
- drdeca 11y agoI don't see how that statement would be inherently contradictory? "X is a Y Z, with a greater W than most" I think would generally be interpreted as "X is a Y Z with a greater W than most Y Zs" So, X would have a more than 50th percentile ranking in Y Zs, when ranking by W. I don't see why it would be impossible for a standard mainstream news organization to have a greater than 50 percentile ranking when ordering standard mainstream news organizations be journalistic standards.
- MikeNomad 11y agoSorry, been busy with baseball the last couple of days... Clever bit going all-variable when there is no frame of reference, starting point, or baseline. On its face, if it is a standard, mainstream organization, it has srandard, mainstream standards. However, there may be some source that indicates otherwise (the call in the second half of my statement).
