If you are conservative, you will read this and say, duh, it’s always been this way.
But it hasn’t.
Bull.
I’m sixty five and PBS has been full of crap for all of that time. That they managed to deal in stuff other than politics that people liked is immaterial. People who would take govt funding to report are fundamentally compromised.
“If you are conservative, you will read this and say, duh, it’s always been this way.

A better take is that Liberals, generally, consider themselves to be “mainstream” and “in the middle”. regardless as to how far left they are.
So, for a liberal to look back and say, “we used to be down the middle”. Is to him/ them, true. As they find it difficult to realize how far left they actually are.
So what this REALLY means is that NPR has moved SO FAR LEFT, that even your typical, of the 20 years ago mindset (e.g. Bil Clinton type liberals), thinks they have gone too far.
Completely agree. The article is decent, he comes oh so close to getting why they aren’t trusted. He reports that there are 87 libs and 0 conservatives on the editorial board but that defunding just cant be the answer. He’s close, guys, but still misses.
