Customer Reviews
A big but
I’ve followed these hosts since the 2016 election. I’m more right leaning but NPR was always the center left news source that was balanced with a little bias. but over the last year it’s gotten completely out of hand. Combined with the Uri and Katherine Maher scandal, I don’t know how much longer I’ll listen. It would be great if they addressed the issue, but they won’t.
Left leaning
Very left leaning conversations. Not bipartisan at all!
Hyperpartisan
I started listening to NPR during the 70’s realizing then it provided a left of center perspective. Nevertheless, I found it informative, worth listening to, and supporting. During the last several years it moved further left until it became unbearable. After listening to the self described “Mothers of NPR” tell about the hiring a colleague I said enough. I no longer listen to NPR for news. Instead I listen to learn how the coastal elite are using propaganda to shape society in their image.
