NPR is like the epitome of mild mannered liberal discourse that doesn't take any stance because it sees itself as above ideology.
I remember hearing on Citations Needed that they wouldn't even call Trump a liar, when it was clearly evident thats the majority of his rhetoric, because the dictionary definition mentions intent and no one can ever know his intent...
NPR pushed me to the left because of shit like this
Also because I really used to like their podcast, Planet Money, because they did decent reporting on economic topics. But they always seemed to miss the point and at the end of every episode were like "welp guess that's just the way it is no way we're ever going to solve this problem" NO KENNY MALONE IT'S BECAUSE CAPITALISM. JUST SAY CAPITALISM GODDAMMIT!
