Straight into my veins

A veteran of National Public Radio pulls back the curtain and confirms every conservative's suspicion about the deep-seated bias there: "I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust."

Some excerpts:

Back in 2011, although NPR’s audience tilted a bit to the left, it still bore a resemblance to America at large. Twenty-six percent of listeners described themselves as conservative, 23 percent as middle of the road, and 37 percent as liberal.

By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal. We weren’t just losing conservatives; we were also losing moderates and traditional liberals. 

No kidding.

Concerned by the lack of viewpoint diversity, I looked at voter registration for our newsroom. In D.C., where NPR is headquartered and many of us live, I found 87 registered Democrats working in editorial positions and zero Republicans. None. 

Uh-huh.  Go on.

The laptop was newsworthy. But the timeless journalistic instinct of following a hot story lead was being squelched. During a meeting with colleagues, I listened as one of NPR’s best and most fair-minded journalists said it was good we weren’t following the laptop story because it could help Trump. 

Not only do I totally believe this story, I believe it's being replayed and replicated in newsrooms - large and small - all across this country.  Furthermore, like this "fair-minded" NPR journalist, I believe these people are willing parties to the fraud with a clear conscious because Trump.  Once you've convinced yourself that you're saving democracy, all journalistic standards fly out the window.
