Injustice 2 is a great love letter to DC comics and it’s fans, but what might have changed had it released several months earlier before a certain presidential election?

I used to listen to MPR until something annoyed me to the point were I just switched to endless podcasts but I remember them running something for the Koch Brothers but whenever I google it I'm told they don't accept any funding or money from them, am I crazy?

No you see they receive money from the Koch Foundation, it's totally different

*literally runs an entire week of stories about how the proles dont deserve welfare because of a huge donation from a sponsor* "We understand that some viewers are concerned about our recent programming but don't worry there's a 10 minute story coming up at 9 pm from the opposite perspective, courtesy of Bowtie T Dipshit" "Thanks Zenobia, and while I think that workers do actually deserve welfare, but only after jumping through so many hoops that my position is effectively the same as your benevolent sponsors." this actually happened

Yeah, I like the stories from planet money but half of the time it’s just economists talking about things which may seem fine in theory but in practice never turn out that way. They keep talking about how the low unemployment level is great for workers because now the companies have to pay more and give more benefits to attract them! It’s like they’ve never had to bother working a “real” job in their lives and are clueless on how the world really works outside of their economic theories. This episode was brought to you by Wells Fargo!

There have been many responses to (derisive voice) Trump’s Trade War. But one you may not have heard about, (insanely smug voice) comes from the donkeys! The donkey trade in (voice immediately sounds like a white woman impersonating Speedy Gonzalez) Tee-hah-hoooanya, Meh-heeee-koh (tumbleweed rolls by, Mariachi guitar strum)

Sound opinions is the only NPR program I actually like. I still end up listening to my affiliate station regularly because everything else is i heart radio garbage and I love infuriating myself. Centrist propaganda is the worst because it's less overt, smugly self assured, and above all boring. Also I want to garrote the loving host of the ted radio hour.

FactsAreUseless posted:Again going to recommend Selected Shorts and Snap Judgement. Just avoid NPR's news and politics coverage because they have great shows dedicated to arts and culture. NPR's not bad for "what happened today, like, in general," but then again everything gets halted for The President Made A Tweet. I use the NPR One app in the morning to get that five minute Lakshmi Singh thing, but lately I seem to be skipping most other segments until I hit an unskippable commercial, then I just turn it off. I can pinpoint when I started losing the faith, though. A host of All Things Considered did her own segment about how she finally realized that traffic rerouting apps were a problem because they were keeping her from getting to her vacation house in Martha's Vineyard in a timely fashion via her favorite shortcuts. With a Perspective, I'm doctorfrog.

I got so tired of President spam like 10 years ago in college. At least with Obama, I could stand to hear the man's voice. No wonder people have this outsized view of the power of the executive when the media covers any little thing they say and do. I've never listened to Dinner Party Download but the promos make it sound like the most WASPy poo poo ever.
