I know some people might not like NPR, but the message matters and can help someone you know. In particular this story touches on women’s issues.

    TBH it’s been frustrating to see how watered down the reporting has been this year.

    Listening to KQED (local NPR affiliate) I was hearing taking heads from the CATO institute and the Heritage Foundation, without any qualifications of what those orgs are.

    You can really feel the slide into milquetoast, neutered, both-sides press from every major outlet and the domestic landscape, but it’s still a head above trying to get your news from CNN/CNBC/MSNBC/WaPo.

    I can’t fathom people on this platform being offended by how left-wing the people’s Media has been though, historically, when NPR/PBS have gone out of their way to be so damned neutral and nakedly honest in their coverage, and have proceed ACTUAL journalism in even remote corners of our country.

      Agreed. Perhaps it’s because they were trying hard to deliver unbiased news (which is boring), whilst every other news station focuses on sensationalism or clickbait to get more viewers.

      Regardless, they lost their federal funding anyway simply because they did their job and did it well IMO. Sad.
