Why on earth do you listen to that garbage?
They don’t need no steenking sources.
- The most valuable frequencies, low on the dial, granted by the FCC
- The highest wattages, granted by the FCC
- Taxpayer-funded with endless claims of “listener supported,” and they also take advertisers
- No diversity of opinion - the only place you’ll find 3 homosexuals in a “round-table debate” about the impact of climate change on the Trans Community, etc.
- The only broadcasting jobs with absolute job security, highest wages, retirement, etc.
- A completely insular system where employees are vetted for political correctness at all levels
- No coverage of any science or opinion that might detract from their official editorial policy
- Not one Republican, I have ever met, ever, who works for NPR
- Endless claims of “balance” and “localism,” even on stations exclusively broadcasting national feeds.
“the number one cause of death for children was firearms”
Possible if you live in Chicago.
It’s a Double Standard.
Having hosted a daily prayer thread here on FR, I have learned in the last 13 years to be very careful about citing sources, making clickable links back to source material, etc. It is a standard I have set for myself, after being corrected a few times.
Even today, interpreting just one Greek word in Luke, I backed up my claim by citing Strong’s Concordance, and giving the file number so that anyone can look it up if they question my conclusions.
NPR, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to display the same self-regulation.
Yet, there are many who just assume their credibility.
Why do you suppose that is?
“increasing number of school shootings”
Based on that graph, the Parkland shooting year had the worst number of kids killed at school - about 50 in total.
“CDC data from 2021 showed 4,733 children ages 1-19 died from gun-related incidents.”

~50 (school-related) versus 4733 (all cause)
I suspect the lack of “respect” for life is the really big problem.
“Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear...”
NPR is located in DC between Joe’s place and Chuck’s place.
NPR gets fear mongering from both ends and we then get it in both ears (when we have it on).
I stopped listening to NPR after 9/11.
It was a good move!!!!
Unfortunately they are right about the Colorado River. It took se3ven years to fill Lake Mead the first time. Long before they started sucking it dry. Truth is it may NEVER fill back up to maximum levels again.

Yesterday NPR said that “the number one cause of death for children was firearms”.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Absolute lie. The number one cause of the death of children is automobile accidents!
Why does America need Nationalized Radio and TV?
The radio station on the car stereo goes off from the top of the hour until :08. Without fail. Then, back on for 52 minutes. Problem solved.
