    In 2016 NPR laid out a smear campaign on Bernie Sanders. Didn’t even give the man equal time. Just smeared him. If it gets defunded I won’t be totally sad.

    NPR stopped being credible when one of the Koch brothers bought his way into PBS and got on the board. Since then they’ve been “fair and balanced”. Trump is just finishing the job.

      It’s in response to NPR’s recent article saying Trump works for the common man or something like that.

        Ron Elving wrote the article, it’s his article published by NPR. That distinction matters because NPR is not some monolithic liberal mouthpiece, despite what zealots on either side might have you believe. Moreover, his opinion piece seems unique in offering any sliver lining to a Trump presidency. All of the other coverage I’ve heard on NPR about Trump, specifically not Republicans in general, has been resoundingly and consistently negative.
