My point of about hard hitting stories was that NPR either doesn't have them or or when they do they remove the teeth by virtue of the perspective they choose.

My point of about hard hitting stories was that NPR either doesn't have them or or when they do they remove the teeth by virtue of the perspective they choose. Take this Wirecard NPR story, Matt owns the Shadowfall company which itself holds 500 million in assets[1]. His situation feels awful, and you should empathize with the man, but god after listening to NPR for several years you wonder why so many protagonists are millionaires. Bringing up the Amazon-NPR story was just tying together where I think NPR especially fails: I don't think NPR lies, or even covers the wrong topics, they just cover them with an establishment centered perspective. Take Amazon seasonal workers: why not cover how Amazon extracts huge wealth out of communities and in place gives jobs that pay little with littler benefits? Take Wirecard story: perhaps short selling is an awful way to hold companies accountable and what we actually need is a SEC company with teeth. Another favorite of mine which I think pulls it all together was during the passing of the Trump Tax Cuts. All Things Considered's lead story was that the cuts were good and just at the wrong time. I heard this during rush hour, so NPR prime time![2] During a time of great change in fiscal policy the radio station Trump supporters most loathe is out there politely questioning the timing of his decisions.
