Here’s a typical hour of NPR:
1. Brief news “daily update” stories about bigoted conservatives and caring liberals. (At the top and bottom of the hour.)
2. Longer story about conservatives hurting liberals.
3. Friendly story about LGBTQRSTUV people somewhere in the world.
4. Serious global warming story.
5. Brief news “daily update” stories about bigoted conservatives and caring liberals. (At the top and bottom of the hour.)
6. Slightly happy story about animals, with nudges describing the need to give them rights, protections, and the ability to have someone vote on their behalf.
7. Compassionate story about migrants somewhere in the world.
8. Story about how stupid Trump is and of how stupid his supporters are for supporting him.

Good post. Except the migrant story usually runs first. NPR has got to the point of the rest of the Old Media.
