I completely stopped listening to and supporting NPR in 2015(16?) because their coverage of Bernie was straight out of the DNC playbook.
Just sayin'.

Anything slighty left of crazy is communist LB.
They're morally bankrupt and mentally ill.
Yes, Garraty, I did exactly the same. I was furious with them. That's why I am saying they are not in any way left leaning. They are centrist/corporate, but MAGAts are too stupid to see that. And when I say "Simple educational programming" I mean SIMPLE.

I didn’t see them being particularly dismissive of Bernie, but I wasn’t looking for it either.

I think most all of the Senators who voted to cut funding for PBS et al, have appeared on the network and given airtime to tell their stories. But we’re in an era where the majority party has to have scapegoats so here we are.

Defunding public broadcasting is petty and vindictive.
These people are small minded.

I read an op-ed a couple weeks ago that stated we probably wouldn’t have a Trump administration had it not been for the long running tv show Firing Line, hosted by the “Conservative Intellectual” William F. Buckley Jr.

That red sweater he put on in the beginning of the show was to promote international Jewish Bolshevism!

I listened to NPR every single day on my way to and from work, and this is what they did on the programs I listened to in the massive So Cal audience
They interviewed all of the CON candidates for president, and NONE of the Dems. Every single day, and I mean every day, they said these words about the Dem primaries: "Presumptive Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton..." and they never ONCE uttered Bernie's name, or any other Dem candidate's name. It was despicable. I took them off memory after several months of that and never tuned in again. I started listening to KPFK. What a difference.

NPR news (or is that all on the RadioIQ spin-off now?) was the least of what I miss about them. 'Thistle and Shamrock', 'Music From the Hearts of Space', etc. were quite enjoyable. A boycott is a boycott though.

Looks like you’re right @LotusBud
I may not have noticed as I was one of those who assumed the Election was Hillary’s, even despite the nonstop trash talking by Trump
From The NPR Archives: Interviews With The Presidential Candidates : NPR Public Editor : NPR. (Assuming this is the complete list)

. I don't agree with NPR's every view, much of which is entirely too conservative, so let's defund it, so there are only far more conservative outlets.
About 1% of NPRs funding comes from the federal funding, but far more goes to the affiliates.

That’s who will suffer the most, the small market affiliate. I don't agree with NPR's every view, much of which is entirely too conservative, so let's defund it, so there are only far more conservative outlets.

Trump is just taking a page out of Hitler's playbook trying to shut down alternative media news sources who don't agree with him.
Sign of a true Fascist.

I hope Trump gets nailed hard with that Epstein scandal.
The reason he and his followers fear it so much is they know Trump doesn't have immunity from prosecution since those events occurred before he became President.

...but if he diddles a minor now, it be cool. It's a presidential duty.
He can declare that it is, and puppet congress and SCOTUS will confirm.
