I turn on NPR from time to time out of curiosity, and immediately regret it. It _used to be_ balanced, but now it's full-on hard left. It used to be that there actually was some diversity of opinion on NPR. Nowadays you don't even need to guess what points of view you will hear about hot button issues - it's hard left without fail. IOW they have obviated the need for themselves by making it possible to foresee what they will say without tuning in. That said, that's how it is with most media nowadays not just NPR, including this very site. It has become socially unacceptable to surface dissent.
- bradknowles 5y agoWith respect, no. What has happened is that everyone else has shifted hard right. NPR has stayed exactly where it was.
- m0zg 5y agoNo way. Trump derangement syndrome was (and arguably still is) on full display. Every hoax was presented strictly as a fact. Not a single positive comment on any of the policies, including the unambiguously positive things such as Israeli / Arab peace accords, withdrawal from Syria, and de-escalation in Korea, and so on. You'd have to be willfully blind to conclude what you've concluded.
- darkerside 5y agoTrump Shock is not a partisan issue. People on both sides of the aisle have been disgusted by his personal traits to the point that they are blind to the positive things that came from his reign. Note that this is a nonpartisan comment.
