It's because back in April some right-wing nutjob editor quit NPR claiming an atmosphere of bias. So he fled to right-wing outlets (where he conveniently ignores their right-wing bias) and now NPR decides they need to go back to balancing the scales of the BoTh SiDeS bullshit.

^ To any bystanders, observe this weirdo spamming across numerous communities this link that he thinks is some gotcha in an obvious attempt to wedge-drive the left to further the gains of Trump (who, by the way, is worse in every way on the topic of Gaza).
They already got banned on one community today for spam lol.
Bonus: I issued a CAPTCHA check of sorts to check if this was a hexbear CCP tankie knockoff and lo and behold they absolutely would not say anything bad about the CCP. They:
Could not acknowledge the tiananmen square massacre.
Were incapable of copying the 4th paragraph of the tiananmen square massacre Wikipedia page.
Downplayed the CCP's actions in other topics as well.
