NPR sinks ever deeper into LGBTQ+ incoherence
American Thinker ^ | 11 Jul, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

That taxpayers are spending even a penny on a site that’s supposed to be non-partisan is a joke when you see how NPR pushes the culture war.

I used to be a passionate NPR listener, tuning in whenever I got into the car. By the early 2000s, as it became more openly anti-Israel, I went looking for other things. I found Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Prager, and all the others who develop ideas and allow political opponents to challenge them. Won over by open and intelligent discourse, I abandoned forever the carefully packaged NPR indoctrination my taxpayer dollars helped support. Still, it’s occasionally helpful to tune in to NPR to get a sense of what the college-educated, leftist half of the country thinks matters—and one of those things is to use language to destroy clarity and, by that means, organized society.

The Sunday article that caught my eye sounded non-partisan enough: “The pandemic pushed people to reevaluate their jobs. Meet 5 who reinvented themselves.” I know of people who used the opportunity the lockdowns offered to end dead-end jobs and enter careers that inspired their passion, so it seemed like a worthwhile read:

Here are the headings NPR assigned to the five people profiled:

-“A Broadway performer finds her voice as a software engineer”

-“A stay-at-home mom felt trapped, now she's a hospital chaplain”

-“A period of reflection led to the end of a marriage, a career pivot and a new wardrobe”

-“An actor flipped the script to become a bilingual theater teacher”

-“She used to feel guilty about balancing motherhood and work — not anymore”

Take a look, though, at the header to the article and tell me if any of the people pictured stands out:

If you picked the bearded lady, you win the prize.

NPR competing in the “Lunacy Olympics” on the taxpayer dime.

Hollywood as well. Jurassic park and Thor which I see with the young adults around here. Totally throwing aside any classic formulas which would keep people watching beyond Tge box office, gone. They’re not interested in making money.

What gets me is the smugness with which they deliver their “stories.” Really puke-worthy.

“Remember, the + is for Pedophile.”

Is that really true? If so, unbelievable.

That’s “minor attracted persons” (MAPs.) Salon Magazine says they can be virtuous.

The + is actually a catch-all for pedophilia, bestiality, and incest.

I often listen to NPR just to find out what these lunatics are up to now. Yesterday I found out that Bitcoin is responsible for global warming because, you know, Bitcoin mining. It has absolutely nothing to do with the World Economic Forum creatures not liking a currency that they can’t control. That’s why we need the government to regulate it. It’s for our own good.

I remember listening to NPR radio way back in the ‘80s. They did a special where they played the Jim Jones/Jonestown massacre tapes. I remember interviews with Bob Newhart (very modest, said his career consisted of pretending he knew what he was doing). Interviews with Hank Williams band members (Williams was a big fan of Little Jimmy Dickens). And of course for decades there were Click & Clack, the Tappet Brothers, on Car Talk.

Some good stuff, if you ignored the leftie news bias.

Yup—the only reason the mass media isn’t peddling sex with farm animals is because media types are clustered in urban centers.

Talking in code (or “dog whistles” if you prefer) but it’s coherent enough. The meaning is plain to friend and foe alike. Also see my tagline.

The teacher can choose your kids gender. But they cannot choose your kids sex. God chooses the sex. The Bible reads ,”And God made them male and female. Males have male equipment. Females have female equipment. One can see the differences between the two when one looks.
