Up First from NPR

Clear, trustworthy information

I have been listening to NPR since my teens. It felt like home to me. It was an example of intelligent, curious, and thoughtful journalism. It also once felt balanced and objective. Unfortunately I don’t see a sign of this across all of its properties. Stories are riddled with errors of omissions, an absence of voices from both perspectives, and in many cases… material falsehoods. Additionally, the on-air talent are almost unbearable to listen to. Without mentioning names, there is one in particular that is ear-piercing. It’s an assault on the senses. Sad to say, but I am a hard pass on NPR — and like many of my friends young and old — am not renewing my subscription to NPR; including KCRW. R.I.P. NPR

I really appreciate this podcast and try to start each day with it to remain informed, especially when I may not have time to sit and read the news. I also appreciate how over time, Steve has started to loosen up and joke around a bit. LoL

They are to biased
