All National Public Radio hosts talk as if they are standing in a nursery, afraid to wake the baby up, or trying to pacify a distempered hound. Their soft tones, slow utterance and hushed breathlessness are meant to convey that NPR is a sanctum, a cathedral of reason and restraint, and that what comes via such delicately modulated, church-whisper voices must be true.
Nowhere was that voice so needed than in the extraordinary statement it put out about the Hunter Biden story, which has already been banned by Facebook and Twitter: “We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions. And quite frankly, that’s where we ended up, this was … a politically driven event and we decided to treat it that way.”
There’s a lot of “we” in that statement. Who are these “we” who are so certain of a story they won’t report on? Do they have soothsayers on call? Have they disinterred Nostradamus as NPR’s preferred fact-checker? Or is this the kind of certitude that only comes from being “woke” and terminally, adamantly anti-Trump?

And when Twitter and public radio are of the same mind on anything, it is fair to observe how very little mind is involved.
NPR is also at one with the mainstream American media — broadcast and print — in choosing to disregard the revelations of the Biden family’s dealings, and most especially, any troubling revelations about Joe Biden himself.

i keep seeing these same “why” questions all over the net...better understand, the media simply doesnt care anymore...they want Trump defeated at all costs....to them, its worth any hit they take....
I guess ‘All Things’ aren’t considered ...
After President Trump wins. NPR and the FBI should be closed down.
We don’t need NPR and the FBI can be replaced by Homeland Security!
People have posted MSM articles questioning Biden’s ties to China, that were around near the end of 2019 when the MSM was on the Bernie train. Now they have all put their own lid on the story.
Because NPR and PBS are the Hunter Biden and James Biden of mass media. They’ve been sucking at the teat of taxpayers for decades with no remorse.
