But where are Twitterfolk supposed to get the latest climate change or transgender news??

Because that's ALL you will hear on NPR. I randomly tune in to NPR and no matter WHEN I tune in, it's nothing but climate change and transgenderism.

I tuned into NPR on my lunch break in the early 90s a few times.

Even way back then, their “All Things Considered” show only considered leftist viewpoints.

I was young and dumb, but it took listening to just two shows for me to realize the load of horse manure they were peddling.

Yes this is sort of like shooting yourself in the foot. Amusing in a way because nobody thinks NPR is a “major news organization” anyway. It is merely a trough of confirmation bias for virtue signalers.

I find NPR at the moment to be all for abortion all the time.

National Abortion Radio

“I find NPR at the moment to be all for abortion all the time.”

Yes, that’s another issue they “cover” ad nauseum.

Like there’s nothing else to talk about. Because in their minds, their isn’t.

“the first major news organization”

What do their ratings look like?

What makes them believe themselves to be a “major” new org?

“What makes them believe themselves to be a “major” new org?”

Because they say so, and since they’re a major news organization, then it’s true.

See how the circle works.

I listened in 1990 while commuting to my first job out of college. I enjoyed a few afternoon stories here and there, but quickly realized “All Things Considered”, really meant “We’ll Tell You What Consider”, and it was always pro-Democrat, anti-Republican.

To this day though there was still a study I remember them talking about - how the more TV people watched, the bigger they thought the average house was.

Most of their aging out hippie audience doesn’t even know what Twitter is.

Back during the abortion drug debate I heard a doctor actually say that the medication causes the woman to expel the product of conception.

I have no Twitter, no NPR since Clinton era.

If a tree falls in the woods with nobody to see or hear it, does it make a sound?

Liberals don’t know how good they have it with NPR etc. They get their echo chamber served up to them commercial free and with lavish production values. We conservatives have to sit through seven minutes of commercials for every twenty minutes of content since our outlets don’t have tax dollars helping to pay their way.

Good riddance, guess they can’t play on an even playing field. PBS should be next.
