We are going to need a McCarthy like purge of activists and woke idiots if we want to get this country back on track.

The amazing thing is this: there are actually people who believe NPR is unbiased and/or "middle of the road."

Not regularly interviews Republican legislators and other right-leaning individuals who appear in the news to present their side of the stories without comment. You would know that if you actually listened to it. Do you have a suggestion for a right-leaning media outlet that does the same with Democrats? If so, I’ll be happy to give it a try.

As Stephen Colbert would say, “…Reality has a Liberal bias.”

But I can't even listen to that as they are such unhinged leftists without regard to basic journalistic integrity.
this is on-target:

So who does listen to NPR? We know exactly who listens to NPR. She just honked at you at an intersection for no reason. She was wearing a mask alone in her Subaru. The question is, do people like her really need more than $100 million in federal subsidies every year which is what public radio still gets for some reason.

Probably not. But then again maybe so. Who are we to judge? Maybe angry, barren Subaru drivers with as many graduate degrees deserve welfare too. Maybe they are a marginalized community. We are not sure.

We checked the audience numbers. Here’s what they are: NPR’s audience is 84 percent White. We don’t have a problem with that. We don’t hate White people and are not racist, unlike NPR. But for comparison, that’s higher than the numbers at Fox News. NPR is always claiming that Fox News is some kind of White supremacist organization.

By the way, Fox News has a significantly larger Black and a much larger Hispanic audience than NPR has, both overall and as a percentage of viewers.

Hey it makes for a great story doesn't it and that is all they care about.



I'm surprised they didn't report that Gorsuch refused to wear a mask and also refused to remove his MAGA hat.

Of course, don't expect the usual crowd that calls out Fox News for why you wrote to do the same for NPR. Diversity is only a problem for the left when the relative lack thereof can be blamed on non-leftists.

Speaking of Fox - I was just at their website. There is no mention of Trump whatsoever except in passing in his call in to Hannity the other night. And there is decidedly only one viewpoint presented there. If you watch Fox exclusively, you are worse off than if you watched nothing at all.

npr won't receive a scintilla of criticism from the usual leftist crowd here for that.

Just wait!

CNN is hiring for their new "Misinformation" super team and broadcast show - that is eerily timed to start up when Trump has his new social media platform Truth Social, up and running.

Folks going through TDS withdrawals can get their daily fix to remain totally deranged and frothed up with CNN's disinformation on misinformation.
