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.

It does raise the question to what is the counter to that and that is speaking the truth.

We have not countered the lies with truth.
