Thanks for the tl;dr. I love NPR, but this click-bait title rubs me the wrong way. Actually the whole article rubs me the wrong way. I wonder if Pacaso paid the writer and this is really just marketing disguised as news. Ugh, NPR, why?

NPR tries too hard to come across as neutral, responsible journalists sometimes. Once in a while I'd like them to just call something bullshit outright. But I guess that's what got us to this age of incivility, so maybe NPR's way is better.

  The best way to deal with BS is to not cover it at all. However controversy is a story that sells, so even seemingly neutral journalists will manufacture controversy just to get a story to be neutral about. You see it in all the vaccines stories that manufactures anti-vax sentiment in various groups.
