- clairity 6y agonpr has never been unbiased, but it's fallen heavily into partisanship in recent years. that's problematic even for folks who agree on a lot of their positions, as unsavory methods overwhelm credibility. we don't need a conservative npr (there are alternatives for that), we need an independent and diverse npr, which is something we're truly lacking in the media landscape.
- zarkov99 6y agoIt just strikes me as odd that NPR should have positions at all, other than "our mission is to inform the public to the best of our limited ability".
- clairity 6y agoagreed. it’s a non-profit with some gov’t funding, but major donors and sponsors (advertisers), along with competitive pressures from other national media, hold significant sway over their (im-)partiality. it’s concentrated capital again using our heads and hearts to hoard more money and power for themselves.
