Huh?

NPR/PBS don't compete for listeners/viewers just like any other broadcaster?

How do you figure that?

How long until one of them feels cornered enough to drag out the old "it's not NPR's fault that the truth leans left" talking point?

From what I can see in this thread, numerous people have claimed that NPR is biased, but no one has yet given any examples or reasons for believing that this is true. This is a general trend that I've noticed in every thread about the supposed "leftist propaganda in the mainstream media." Whenever I see people making this "propaganda" claim I ask for examples or evidence, and nothing much is ever offered. In most cases, the thread dies almost immediately. It seems none of the people claiming "leftist propaganda" wants to do anything beyond screaming vague accusations.

I used to listen to NPR during the week when I was working but I grew weary of the endless stories about how great Obama was and their focus on the Middle East. Hey NPR there is a whole world of people out there and their stories are just as interesting as the gay cross dressing Iraq refugee and the fear and social pressures he feels in America over which bathroom to use..

I still listen to NPR on the weekends for the entertaining content but the news shows during the week leaned so far Left and bashed on Trump so often the future of America was painted to be bleak.

NPR should be neutral but they lean way Left.

Bull.

Folks, if you can't give examples to support your false claims, then shut up about it & quit posting. All you're doing is sounding foolish.
