NPR is pretty left leaning though, I guess it could help balance out the fat kid on the seesaw.
NPR may seem leftist because of the fact that leftist ideas usually make sense in light the objective reporting about reality that NPR does, but that doesn't make them left-leaning. It makes the truth left-leaning
I used to think they were unbiased as well, but I remember hearing them do an interview with American gun rights people from both sides, this was after some mass shooting or something. Basically the pro gun rights guy was well-spoken, knowledgeable, and non-combative, but they kept talking over him, interrupting him, and wouldn't even let him get a thought out without asking the pro gun control person what they thought.
It was surprising to me how absolutely blatant it was, like they didn't even try to seem unbiased.

NPR is pure 100% propaganda. The few times I tuned into them they were calling for airstrikes on Syria and had some guy from the White Helmets on the air. It's pure trash, totally infiltrated by the Military Industrial interests and conditioning people for war.
Fuck NPR

How much longer are we going to tolerate a totally controlled media apparatus, an apparatus which has been infiltrated by special interests at virtually every level, to continue to lie to our faces while beating the war drums?
It's not funny anymore. People have to start taking a stand against this crap.
The media has been complicit in so many lies.. lies that have led to wars being started and millions dead. Their hands are covered in blood.

What does that have to do with the media lying to your fucking face on a daily basis?
So it's okay that the media lies have led to the deaths of thousands of innocent people, so long as I write articles of my own to counter them (but without the billions of $ in funding from corporate oligarchs)?
Why do people get so offended when someone challenges the media lies? Do you really need them so you can feel comfortable?

NPR is almost always boring nasally sounding shows lol I dunno what you are talking about Chopstick. It's like radio for people who play flag football, not a call to arms for libs to wreck shop on america
It's somewhat left leaning in the sense that they bring up issues the left bring up all the time (race issues, global warming, labor exploitation, etc). My main qualm with them is their focus has been on so many negative topics lately but I guess I can understand why. I just believe People really need to uplift each other if there is any chance for humanity IMO

What i am saying is that the way to "not tolerate" a "totally controlled" media apparatus is to become the media.
If you hear me say something about covid it is because my entire professional life revolves around treating and testing for it. Even if the news were totally nonexistent the blatant reality about covid would slap me in the face every time I step foot into my job.

npr is simply radio for people who want to get useful facts about the world in order to make informed decisions. It seems dull and leftist to the average american who has gotten accustomed to mistaking entertainment talk shows for news, sure. That doesn't make it leftist

I am not hating on the fact that it is mildly left leaning because, as someone stated, facts are often "left leaning". But the hosts of most NPR shows definitely are liberals, let's be real, and their opinions sometimes come out.
It is still some of the most reliable and trustworthy and accessible news out, without a single doubt. I do appreciate they bring on all different types of people, both politically and socially

Their news programs are more centered than their talk show programs.

I like NPR's Tiny Desk series of concerts, some real gems in there.

I love Fresh Air with Terry Gross.
I don't always agree with her but in my opinion she's an American treasure.
