State affiliated media indicates state run media... i.e. propaganda for the State. NPR is in no way propaganda for the State. It's probably the furthest a media outlet could be from such a thing. This as an example of people putting their own political ideologies above all else and labeling the things that don't necessarily support them as propaganda. It's wrong and short sighted.
- user3939382 4y agoDo you have any examples of them bucking the DNC establishment? I’ve never seen one. AFAICT state propaganda is exactly what they are.
- mortenjorck 4y agoState propaganda and party propaganda are the same thing in some countries, but fortunately not in the US.
- minsc_and_boo 4y agoAre you genuinely asking for examples, or are you just declaring your opinion in bad faith?

- ghiculescu 4y agoI don't have a strong view on this yet, but I think some links that are less than 5 years old would make your argument more compelling.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoAgree, if there are not even 5 solid examples from the last 5 years, that's pretty suggestive.
- minsc_and_boo 4y agoThere haven't been criminal convictions of federal democratic politicians in the last 5 years to report on. Also, it's moving the goal posts.
- ghiculescu 4y agoGP asked for literally any critical reporting. You missed the goal posts, they didn’t move.
- travisporter 4y agoGP can provide non-NPR examples over the last five years maybe and cross-corelate with any NPR coverage to prove their point? I disagree, this is moving goalposts.
- minsc_and_boo 4y agoGP asked for critical articles and received them. Changing the requirements to be for the last five years is moving the goalposts, by way of a no-true-scotsman.
- LynxInLA 4y agoTake it as you will, but the example they give is: > For example, NPR joined with other media organizations to press the Obama administration for access to closed hearings involving detainees held by U.S. authorities at Guantanamo Bay
- Georgelemental 4y agoNPR are totally propaganda for the State, 100%, without reservation. (I used to be a regular listener, back when they were tolerable)
- detaro 4y agoOne would've expected a much larger shift in reporting with changing governments if that were true.
