NPR Still Hasn't Learned Its Lesson

Do you have things you love to hate? NPR is one of those for me. During my afternoon errands, I tuned in to NPR now that Rush Limbaugh is gone.

Observations:
1) Three times an hour, they ***** about their rescinded government funding and appeal for donations. One would assume if their leftwing propaganda is that much in demand, they wouldn't have to beg every 20 minutes.

2) They cover the same four stories all the time: 1) War in Gaza 2) Climate change. 3) Immigration ICE abuse and 4) some feminist heroine profile. Their segments always take the leftwing position and have some down-and-out victim with a sob story. And always, always, always, Trump is to blame. They will also sprinkle in stories of the day. Today, it was the fired CDC director Susan Monrarez. (Trump is anti-science) and the firedFed governor Lisa Cook (Trump is a racist. Trump seeking retribution). The possibility of Cook actually committing a crime was never addressed. Also thrown in was the DC takeover. (DC doesn't need it. Trump is Hitler). Also discussed was the Catholic School shooting. (Troubled person who acted alone). The trans issue is mentioned only in context conservatives' hateful reaction to it. No, it could not possibly be related to the crime

3) They have panels to discuss these issues. Always a journalist from the Atlantic, New York Times or Huffington Post; and someone from academia; a Harvard or Columbia professor Not one voice on the panel even close to conservative. And yet the CEO Katharine Maher claims 100% objectivity: "For decades, NPR clung to the fiction that it is committed to serving Americans across the political spectrum.” She said it with a straight face.

4) It is clear NPR has not learned its lesson. It is still outrageously leftwing. Nothing even close to objective. Same tired stories. Same tired format. Nothing to merit government funding ever again. Donation pitch "Please help us continue to present the programming people need." Nobody needs that Marxist claptrap.

NPR should take a page from CNN. CNN was smart enough to hire conservative Scott Jennings as a political analyst. Because of him, I switch over to CNN's Laura Coates show when Gutfeld's show comes on. Jennings is so good and so quick, he annihilates the mouthy black leftwing women who talk over him. He gets his jabs in and totally dominates.

NPR will be fully funded again once Democrats win back power.

What you better brace for is the absolute erasure of Trump, MAGA, DOGE.

Can't wait to hear Jennings thoughts.
 
Government welfare isn't the answer for the poor. Never has been. Private charity as well sound economic policy helps the poor.
Define sound econo.ic policy. I believe it is raising wages across the nation as working people start actually getting paid.

NPR “GOT” 1% from the government.

And it that’s the truth, why are y’all so upset about it?
Pretty sure I said “I don’t care” as many ways as one can say it. The federal money went to supporting stations in underserved markets (aka rural areas). I could care less if dumbass county bumpkins get access to public radio or tv. **** em.
 
Trans are less than 1% of the shooters, males are more than 97%, so cross dressers etc are the issue?

I'm going to ask for a little critical thinking here. If there are 1000 NPR stations, and each of these rural ones lost between $150K and $300K in funding as was widely reported, that's no more than $250 or so million. But Trump cut $1.1 billion. So guys, less than 20% of the cuts were to the bumpkins. Where'd the rest go? You're not saying NPR lied to its gullible audience, are you?

And here's the other thing. Rural areas go 80 to 90% Trump. In other words they despise everything NPR stands for. So who do you think is listening in say Russell County, Virginia? Maybe a couple of retired professors and an old hippie nut living in a cabin. I guess the question is; if you shut down half the NPR stations, would anyone notice?

I guess I can spoon feed it to you: The funding hurts rural area access to NPR since the broadcast stations are supported by the federal government. The content created by NPR is not funded. So, at the end of the day maga states will lose NPR access and blue states and areas with population density will still get it. Sorry.

From same link:

“Although the loss of federal funding is devastating for many people, certainly in terms of longer term impacts on universal access across the nation,” she said in an interview, “NPR itself is positioned to have runway to withstand operational changes and business model evolution.”
Their programs suck--So who cares?

My dear late hubby used to have a "progressive" friend with whom he had social outings in his car, who would always put the car radio on NPR, and then hubby forgot to turn the radio off. I'd get in the car and hear that annoying noise, and I barely had time to heave a short sigh of disgust before hubby slapped the off switch!

He was well trained.

All Lib Radio programs bomb-- That is a FACT--Real Americans don't want to hear how "Racist" or "Sexist" they are. Since that is all Lefty Fear Mongering

It would be the Administration that is misinforming the nation about NPR.
