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.
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.
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.
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.
Anti NPR propaganda? While the Trump administration is attacking NPR and public broadcasting in general? Sus
It's in response to NPR's recent article saying Trump works for the common man or something like that.
Ron Elving wrote the article, it's his article published by NPR. That distinction matters because NPR is not some monolithic liberal mouthpiece, despite what zealots on either side might have you believe. Moreover, his opinion piece seems unique in offering any sliver lining to a Trump presidency. All of the other coverage I've heard on NPR about Trump, specifically not Republicans in general, has been resoundingly and consistently negative.
What positive coverage would there have been? Genuinely I ask
