Shortly after Trump won, there was a round table interview with different journalists from various media on NPR. They essentially all agreed that it was their duty to make Trump look as bad as possible, though they worded it slightly less audaciously. I distinctly remember them saying that they should no longer be objective. I think to those on the right the last few years really opened their eyes to how much bias there is in journalism. I wish more people on the left noticed it as well, though I’m sure some did. Either way, I’m surprised nobody has taken the opportunity to start a news source that actually attempts to be objective. Maybe it’s impossible, or maybe people just don’t want it…but I do.

NPR has not run a piece critical of Democrats since Christ was a boy.

  IMO, NPR has drifted even farther leftward in the last decade. They used to be pretty middle-of-the-road liberal, but now they strike me as some woke variety of left-wing (a person's identity is paramount, tells you everything you need to know about their experiences, etc).

  And you wonder why taxpayers have to foot their bills.

IMHO, the closest you'll find is 'Real Clear Politics'. RCP prints outrageous stories from both sides of the aisle. They don't try to find the center, they give you both sides.
