Back before I retired I enjoyed listening to NPR on my commute for laughs. When I was in my 20’s they sounded so old and wise in their delivery, but as I aged they just sounded stupid.
I used to listen to NPR, as well. Car Talk, A Prairie Home Companion, and a few others were shows I always enjoyed. However, the news grew to become intolerable. I would laugh out loud at the audacious lies they said about Bush Jr. and other Republicans. It was offensive.
Their truth is what Soros or Hamas says.
Why do we pay for that?
NPR is subtle with their propaganda. I believe the laid back tone of their commentators is deliberate. I have a brother in law who is an otherwise intelligent guy. He is an avid reader, reading a minimum of one book a week. He immigrated here from Northern Europe when he was 11. He is now 78. He listens exclusively to NPR, and watches CBS news. He and my sister in law went full vaccine during C19. If you name a left wing g talking point, he believes it. He voted for Trump in 2016, but now thinks Trump is the devil incarnate and anyone affiliated with him are idiots. He is very vocal about it. He gets noticeably angry if you challenge him on any of those issues. I now try to avoid any political discourse with him. Not because I don’t have the receipts, but I do love him and upsetting him isn’t worth it.
Bottom line, is I truly believe he is a victim of lo g term brainwashing. It’s pretty sad.

I listened to the Celtic Music Show “Shamrock and Thistle” on NPR back in the 90s.
