Good on this guy for at least attempting to voice his concerns with the integrity of their coverage during the orange scare. Hopefully, their new CEO will make it worth listening to again. 

I just read that on Facebook... I used to love NPR until it went completely political... Adam Schiff turned it into an evil POS

at least this soy boy for NPR lets us in on it...

here was a 2022 article on NY Times group of clown writers who shared in the "remorse" 

 https://nypost.com/2022/07/21/ny-times-columnists-admit-to-being-wrong-in-series-of-mea-culpas/

In his essay, Stephens said he wrongly judged Trump supporters, initially taking “broad swipes” at them without understanding why they voted for former President Donald Trump.

“What Trump’s supporters saw was a candidate whose entire being was a proudly raised middle finger at a self-satisfied elite that had produced a failing status quo,” he wrote. “I was blind to this.”

“I could have thought a little harder about the fact that, in my dripping condescension toward his supporters, I was also confirming their suspicions about people like me — people who talked a good game about the virtues of empathy but practice it only selectively; people unscathed by the country’s problems yet unembarrassed to propound solutions,” Stephens concluded.

lol - not a chance in liberal hell 😄

unless of course continuing to listen means (AGAIN) checking your conservtive thoughts and values at the door - because  TDS is still front and center in this new CEO's mind -

“NPR’s service to this aspirational mission was called in question this week, in two distinct ways,” continued Maher, who previously served as CEO of Wikimedia and as a member of the State Department’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board started under then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “The first was a critique of the quality of our editorial process and the integrity of our journalists. The second was a criticism of our people on the basis of who we are.”

Welp. In the trash it will remain.

I remember your posts before you even went to Medical School.  You were a hardcore liberal then.  You've gone way more center now.

I still categorize myself as a classical liberal. I feel that I haven't moved much. 

I'm still anti-military industrial complex.
I'm still for whistleblower protection. 
I'm still pro-choice.
I'm still anti-censorship. 
I'm still pro-gun rights. 
I'm still against illegal immigration and for legal immigration.
Religious zealots still annoy me.
