I'm liberal, and in 2016 NPR failed to even say the name Bernie Sanders in any of it's election coverage during the week following his victory in the Iowa Caucuses. I rapidly lost trust in NPR. Any of the subsequent visits haven't shown any signs of reform.
I miss the good old NPR, the narrative machine that's replaced it needs to go away.

- mikewarot 3y agoIt's wild to me that the "facts" recorded on the internet vary so wildly from my recollection of events at the time. Perhaps I mistook the "straw poll" for the "caucuses"? So, I was wrong, but NPR certainly hasn't remained true to their original format.
