every station is their own thing and they decide what programs to run

a lot of the big programs that people think of when they think of "npr" are produced by a single station in a single city

like fresh air is done by a station in philadelphia but a lot of other stations also play it

the npr affiliate in the place where i live didnt play diane rehm

so the npr station you are familiar with might have ran democracy now but its not a standard thing

It's true, NPR is not a monolithic entity; some stations are good, some are bad

I'm sorry if your NPR station sucks

I think Russia broke and continues to break dem brains, because we all know what would have happened if Russia had propped up the dems instead of the GOP- the Democrats would have been declared illegal and it would have been a massive scandal.

But the dems think that GOP voters have principles on the matter, that decorum is a real thing. So when it turns out that, no, it doesn't matter, it breaks their brain. GOP voters are 100% partisan monsters, are okay with cheating if it means they'll win, and both the base and party are united by this belief. And this had been obvious for the past decade, if anyone has been paying attention.

They keep giving concessions to a snake, and the snake keeps biting them. "Deal from strength or get crushed everytime" is not just how the GOP thinks of itself w.r.t foreign policy, its how it rationalizes its own behavior in domestic politics. You give the GOP and inch, they take a mile, because compromise is weakness, and weakness is to be exploited.

The past couple of experiments in triangulation, running pro-troop (military worship) and pro-life (culturally conservative) dems, and now Russia (foreign intrusion), has been an experiment in determining whether or not GOP voters hold anything sacred that's not white nationalism. And the answer is: no, no there is not.

This sort of breakdown is used to deflect criticism of NPR. "Oh, no, it isn't the national entity it is this other entity that produced the show" overlooks the entire NPR system and funding. While it has some technically correct aspect, it is a misinterpretation of the underlying argument of NPR as an institution.

No, that's perfectly valid; NPR has many, many problems and should be criticized. I'm just saying that listening to a chunk of a program on one NPR station that may or may not exist on other NPR stations, devoid of context, is an awfully shaky basis on which to base a sweeping "NPR is bad."

There are good reasons to say NPR is bad. Let's use those, not the bad ones.

I drove today and had NPR on again

NPR was apocalyptic about the trump-putin meeting

NPR informed the audience that russia was an adversary and not an ally

NPR pushed the narrative that normally the media has a responsibility to present a both sides narrative on issues related to the presidency but that this event they referred to as a "singularity" required a "slightly" different role for the media

NPR wondered aloud to itself why republican voters don't care about the russiagate issue when asked and polled. they then pushed a narrative that it's hard for someone to admit that they were duped and started talking about trump rallies sponsored by that russian internet social media agency

they of course did not allow any counterbalancing views during these segments

wow NPR finally stopped being Right wing

Well that's an absolute psychological truth if you tweak it to be "people will be much more willing to believe anything that means they were not duped"
