Of the 30 stories currently featured on the NPR website, 1 is about race

In the title. However, I am sure, having listened to NPR almost every day, that most of those stories contain an explicit "racial analysis" segment. It is also possible that the written content is less race obsessed than what airs on the radio. I know when I am listening to NPR driving to work I hear racially focused stories back to back every single day as if there was absolutely nothing else interesting to talk about.

  If you had evidence you would have already presented it, i looked through a couple of articles and nothing about race. im not going to waste more time to confirm what i already know

    While I also do not have time to do an analysis right now, and as I mentioned radio content may be different from web content, the number of upvotes my initial comment calling out NPR got suggests my opinion is not unusual.

      Remember when NPR deliberately took a video out of context to portray peaceful protesters attacking a random car as if the driver was some sort of white supremacist who tried to hit them on purpose? https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/22/npr-falsely-calls-victim-of-attack-by-rioters-a-white-supremacist/ https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/22/npr-falsely-calls-victi...

        They used that photo on an unrelated story, the photo had nothing to do with the story. nice try though. Just admit you were wrong, its ok

        But that's exactly what's being said. The photo has nothing to do with the story. NPR admitted as much. https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1274809408262938624 https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1274809408262938624 But your tone suggests that you disagree with something.

        The implication was that npr was smearing this woman, rather than the editors being lazy. All in service to the argument that npr focuses on race, despite there being no evidence

        So I can write an article about rapists, put a completely unrelated picture of your face with your full name on it, and that's not a smear? That's essentially what happened

        Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

        https://archive.is/ilHur https://archive.is/ilHur > One person was hit by a car in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, early on June 17 as protesters held an anti-racism demonstration at Jefferson Square, police said. The story might be unrelated, but they knew exactly where it came from.
