I must be ridiculously liberal because when I listen to NPR and they have a conservative on and that conservative says stuff that is fairly objectively untrue ( see recent Obamacare repeal attempt and public justifications for it) they never challenge them.
- MBCook 9y agoI tend to think that NPR is liberal, though they try to be balanced. My problem with them is I find they try to bend over backwards to present the alternate viewpoint even in situations where it clearly makes almost no sense. It's always frustrated me about the election coverage even in much more normal years. I distinctly remember once hearing them have a piece about how old milk is good for you (or something like that) and then shortly after presenting the "alternate viewpoint" that milk causes cancer. Maybe I have the order flipped. I just found it so laughably stupid that they thought they needed to justify it with the other side. That may not have been one of their normal news breaks, it could've been some other kind of program of theirs. But that idea has stuck with me.
- hueving 9y agoNPR doesn't challenge anyone. You only notice it when it's conservative because of your politics.
