I’ve seen Teletubbies but don’t remember from where, PBS or wherever.

That show was fascinating, bizarre LSD stuff, I loved it and watched several episodes and think it would make better drinking TV with your buddies than watching sports, but I wouldn’t let my kid watch it.

Iraq did possess WMD’s. The NYT reported that years ago.

Oh, man...as you can see from my Freep Page, Thomas Sowell is a hero to me. When he debated them, you could just SEE them walking on egg shells...:)

For someone I regard as an intellectual (in a positive way) his works are VERY approachable...:)

Probably thought it was true - lacking the realization that what they’ve recently ‘discovered’ was, in fact, always the case.

They very calmly make assertions, then the entire discussion is based on the premise the assertion is true. It’s like waving a spell over the listeners - as though they’re convinced they’re absorbing well accepted conclusions that ‘experts’ have arrived at. Then they repeat as though it’s accepted truth.

A total brainwash job.

Uri Berliner's grandparents were murdered by the NAZIs. Maybe he is starting to recognize the rebirth of fascism here in the USA in the Clinton, Obmama, and Biden administrations.

True. Twenty, 30 years ago there was some good journalism, and lots of interesting, apolitical stories and features. Days long gone...

The dung beetles at NPR have always regarded ordinary Americans with sneering condescension and contempt, if not outright hatred.

“It’s true NPR has always had a liberal bent, but during most of my tenure here, an open-minded, curious culture prevailed. We were nerdy, but not knee-jerk, activist, or scolding.

Completely delusional. NPR has been government-funded left-wing propaganda since I was a teenager, and my teen years are a long way back in the rear view mirror.”

Agreed

And not surprising at all.
Their entire world view is just a mirror.

“There is no need for a ‘NPR’ or a ‘PBS’.”

PBS has some good entertainment-type shows, in my opinion. Just avoid their news and political stuff.

This clown wants us to believe it wasn’t an active democrat party propaganda outlet until Trump? What utter complete bullcrap.

“Like many UNFORTUNATE THINGS (emphasis mine), the rise of advocacy took off with Donald Trump.” .......... “But what began as tough, straightforward coverage of a BELLIGERENT, TRUTH-IMPAIRED (emphasis mine) president veered toward efforts to damage or topple Trump’s presidency.”

Then he goes on to tell how NPR colluded with Schiff to promote the Russian collusion hoax, the Hunter laptop as Russian propaganda hoax, the covid from natural origin hoax as well as NPR promoting racist/sexist ideologies. All while he worked there.

He claims he tried to get things changed, but from the evidence of his quotes from the first paragraph of this post, it’s very evident that Uri Berlinger is the problem.

“raised by a lesbian peace activist mother”

Who must have been RICH, because Sarah Lawrence is/was the most expensive college/university in the country.

Uri is most likely a trust fund child. Born with a silver spoon. He probably never got his hands dirty with the exception of planting a few flowers. More likely they had “help” to do that sort of thing. Typical rich NYC liberal.

I have often wondered about the “Trump is an inveterate liar” tag the left puts on him. The reason I wonder is they give few, if any, examples of all this lying he supposedly does, whereas the left is constantly getting exposed for lying. Curious.
