[@shawnsimmons1308]

In my personal opinion, the current political and social climate over the past decade has become so polarized as a result of the radical and aggressive stance that the right wing conservatives has taken against the basic values and principles that our nation has strived to achieve and the contrast of the extremely harsh and oppressive stances that the current Republican Party have taken makes any moderate to liberal points of view appear radically biased when in reality those points of view merely reflect the thoughts and opinions of the majority of the American people. The right wing tries to convince us that black is white, that up is down, that grass isn’t green and the sky isn’t blue. And when someone opposes their claims and points out the obvious truth, they’re called biased. I’m a long time avid viewer and listener of NPR and I, personally, have not noticed that they have become more biased in their reporting. But this is just my own humble opinion.

I voted for Hillary in 2016. I stopped listening to NPR after the election. I knew Russian collusion was a lie. Voted for Trump in 2020.

I wonder if the voters on the right stay home or vote third party when they don’t support their candidate at the same rate as the voters on the left?

This is just wild! Ana is saying Medhi Hasan is lumping conservatives into a singular Qanon pile, claiming there is a great degree of diversity in conservative thought, then in the next breath says NPR is limited to the singular democratic position!!! Is there no diversity on the liberal side?!!! 😂😂😂

But NPR is not the whole of the democratic party.

The liberal side has little diversity. That's why the left is mad at liberals. Yet you guys believe that anything left of liberal is too extreme and shouldn't be paid attention to.

In fact, what came almost a century ago to be called civic journalism has a much longer history. The contrasting practice of uncritical “he said, she said” parroting is not really objective, but rather a lazy abnegation of commitment to the truth. For most of our nation’s history, newspapers were par for the course frankly partisan. However one might weigh the good and bad points of that norm in competitive private publishing - perhaps comparing it to the courtroom contest of litigants - the role of _public_ media ought to be more balanced. More balanced does _not_ mean the Geraldo Rivera shtick of treating the consensus of experts and the ranting of a lunatic as equally credible. It does mean acknowledging real controversy where such does exist.
