Trump DOESNT pay HIS bills!!!
So, how can he talk about NATO countries?!?!
Lazy journalism
I have been a lifelong liberal and strong supporter of NPR (including financially). I know you are trying to break down complex topics into bite size pieces, but it just feels LAZY. Opinion contributors to complex topics, sharing only one side that is an opinion without supporting facts. The Outside Agitators episode being the latest one. Do better.
April 13, 2024 podcast
Your repetition of the Hamas generated figures for deaths attributed to Israel belies your bias in the Israel-Hamas war. You state without attribution 33,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed. How many are ‘fighters’? How many killed by Hamas and PIJ misfired rockets? How does this compare to other countries fighting terrorist organizations in urban environments? Honestly misrepresenting details such as this is unconscionable for a journalistic organization purporting to present unbiased information to listeners.
