In 2016 NPR laid out a smear campaign on Bernie Sanders. Didn't even give the man equal time. Just smeared him. If it gets defunded I won't be totally sad.
I literally stopped listening to NPR after the way they treated him.
Yea, same. Stopped donating. Stopped caring what they had to say. I'm glad there's some of us out there that saw it. It was such a wakeup call moment.
It really tainted everything I listened to on the station.
NPR stopped being credible when one of the Koch brothers bought his way into PBS and got on the board. Since then they've been "fair and balanced". Trump is just finishing the job.
Yeah, that didn't last very long and he was out.
He's going to build them all houses to live in and give them all jobs. They'll never have to worry about unemployment again.
With his small town, egalitarian rallies and appeals to “the forgotten man and woman,” he has revived the term populism in the political lexicon and gone further with it than anyone since Bryan’s heyday.
And this is how it happens. The moment Trump launches an investigation into PBS and NPR, they start kowtowing to his every demand and saying whatever he wants to hear in order to keep their funding.
What evidence suggests, is he will pour gas on an already hot fire, then with all the warmth everyone will assume everything is good when in reality, the village is burning down and tomorrow is gonna be cold...
They were doing this before he was elected. Recall NPR unquestioning reporting Trump’s housing policy.
What was his housing policy?
Concentration camps.
Modern journalism can’t resist this kind of wankery.
