I have often wondered about the “Trump is an inveterate liar” tag the left puts on him. The reason I wonder is they give few, if any, examples of all this lying he supposedly does, whereas the left is constantly getting exposed for lying. Curious.
I hate to disillusion the author but to most Conservatives the Leftist slide of NPR began before he went to work there. We were already pushing against taxpayer funding for NPR when Reagan was President.
They operate under the false premise they ever had America’s heart and mind.
Isn’t there some kind of “effect” where people believe everything they see in the media until the media reports on the person’s own special field and gets everything wrong? I forget the name of it. Anyway, this guy has that, except he’s actually in the media so it took him longer to figure things out.
“ was raised by a lesbian peace activist mother, I drive a Subaru, and Spotify says my listening habits are most similar to people in Berkeley”
My polar opposite lol 😆

The gaslighting runs deep with this one. In 2011 NPR was full on leftist advocacy.
Oh please. NPR has NEVER been credible. It has NEVER exercised reasonable objective standards of journalism. It has always been Leftist propaganda.
I remember listening to NPR 50 years ago. I noticed that when a contentious political issue was discussed, they would interview a Democrat and ask him to explain their view on the issue. But when they then interviewed a Republican, they only asked about the congressional process on the issue. Subtle censorship and bias.

They are very proud to say at the beginning of each event that CFR takes no institutional or political decisions.
However ... the topics they choose to cover are from a leftist bent. The guests/panel members they feature are from a leftist bent. The audience questions are from a leftist bent. Which means that anything conservative, libertarian, or leftist simply doesn't get brought up. The flavor of CFR is quite clear.
But yeah, they take no position. NPR is the same. Leftist subjects, positions, leftist questions, leftist guests, leftist conclusions. When they have a token "conservative" it's invariably an inarticulate one who couldn't be more useless. It's never a Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Rand Paul, Reps. Higgins, Roy, Massie, Tiffany, Waltz, etc.
“Back in 2011, although NPR’s audience tilted a bit to the left, it still bore a resemblance to America at large. Twenty-six percent of listeners described themselves as conservative, 23 percent as middle of the road, and 37 percent as liberal.”
2011 was when the fundraising scandal happened. The was when Project Veritas recorded the head of NPR fundraising basically admitting NPR was completely biased towards the left at a meeting with a fake Palestinian org who wanted to give 5 million to NPR.

In the 1990s, I listened to NPR on my way to school and work. It was always left leaning. Today it is a slightly higher class MSNBC
Morning Sedition?, no way!!!
I applaud Uri Berliner for admitting that NPR is biased.
In this day of the national deficit growing $1T every 100 days, it’s well past time to completely DEFUND the Marxist indoctrinators National Public Radio (and Public Broadcasting System), the so-called “crown jewels of American journalism.” Poor Uri has been drinking the American Pravda kool-aid for too long.
