Hey ! NPR - PBS

[4bonhoffer]

I’ve supported you since your inception, and will continue to do so BUT,
for Christ F’ing sake when are you gonna report on the insanity of this guy. Not in a brief mention but in lengthy fact filled segments over multiple days. When are you going to report on his and the republican ties to putin?
You did one, that’s one , one segment before the election on project 25. They still took away your funding. Still trying to keep what corporate funding you have left , I guess.

Always thought that if we ever came this close to losing our democracy that at least PBS & NPR would be ringing the alarm bells. Apparently those bells are located in corporate offices. I remember when you stuck to facts and didn’t worry about who those facts would offend.

1. We've referred to them as 'TrumPR' since 2015

They've given this colossal pile of shit way too much free coverage. We still listen and make a small donation annually, but sometimes that's hard given their coverage.

They're good for artsy, special interest, feature reporting. But they suck at hard news and do both sides "objectivity" a la NYT and CNN. Bill Moyers and Frontline were good, back in the day. But I find NPR's current political coverage as insipid, flaccid, boring.

3. I don't know which NPR sttation you listen to, but

the Buffalo/Toronto NPR station has been giving his mental health issues accurate coverage. They don't do it 24/7 because they have a variety of programs, some local and some national. But they do not sane wash him. They report on various things that he says and does. When the Trump statements are false, they add that fact to what he has said. When they are clearly indications of mental health decline, they question his ability.

They always point out the claims of winning in 2020 as false.

I stayed off of online news and discussions for a few months to take a breather. Through NPR, I was kept aware of developing issues and the Trump agenda.

4. His incapacity should lead the news every day

If he was anyone but a white man dedicated to the preservation of white male privilege, the press would be tearing his lack of function apart all day. Instead he gets treated like he's a rational player because most American institutions like the press/media fear the club to which he is a member.

I stopped listening to NPR when they routinely treated maga politicians like honest brokers during interviews. There was no fact-checking or correction. The press should in fact have a bias for truth and so many like NPR have unwittingly surrendered their ethics due to some belief that it's not right to push back against a lying bigot.
