for the record, 'vomiting tripe' is a spot-on depiction.

I didn't ask you for any feedback.
You're posting on an internet forum and you don't expect that you'll get feedback to your posts?

fortunately you don't get to decide what people say here.

What "2020 election"? Have you forgotten that our President won the election by the largest amount of votes ever? Despite all your "polls" on the subject, there are far more moderates and moderate/liberals and liberals than there are extreme right-wingers like Palin, et al.

What is "Left truth"......please explain....and since when did the percentage of people agreeing or disagreeing with something have anything to do with "truth"....? It's sometimes difficult to read your posts and get to the point, having to first wade through all the extreme "right bias" vocabulary.........

Neither do you, so save your "feedback".

Oopps. 2010 election, where conservatism rose up and gave the dems an historic shellacking.

This country is 40+% conservative, about 18% liberal and of that 18%, about 15% is the fringe.

Seems NPR has an inordinate about of the fringe Left working for it, which is why the NPR exec caught on tape spews the Left's talking points so brilliantly.

Perhaps a report of some currently pertinent history will help. It is a description of facts and it couod be that people who may not like those facts, will call them biased.

Terms like conservatives vs. liberal mean very little unless you qualify them with "socially" and "fiscally". Most young people I know are fiscally conservative and socially liberal - in which case they might say they are Conservative or Moderate. They might decide to vote Republican during some years to decrease their taxes, but they might also decide to vote Democrat most of the time because they don't really resonate with some social aspects of the Republican party (i.e. abortion, religion, gays, foreign policy). That Gallup poll needs to really differentiate more clearly between different types of voters. As far as I am concerned it is difficult to gauge true conservatism. Some fiscal conservatives would tend to agree with most of NPR's views.

Hard to believe that this is even a mystery to some.

Schiller has resigned - so PBS top heads can just
say he was acting - like "OSCAR"

What did Schiller say?

There are a lot of uneducated people in America - check
The evangelical right wing of the Republican Party
is way out there - check
The new (not the old 2007) tea party has acted in a
racist manner, AT TIMES - not always - check partially

NPR/PBS probably could survive without the 2/15 percent
government funding - check. But should they? What about all the learning tools they provide for public schools.

Seems to me they had a nice informal lunch.
I wonder who picked up the Check
