If anything, it is a little conservative. But they pay attention, act like real journalists, and speak in complete sentences.

Hey, did you know lying Fox propaganda has a right wing bias and gets sued for lying and sexual harassment?

This is all based on one opinion piece.

Would Fox News exist without its irrational/emotional anti-democracy right-wing biased misinformation/propaganda?

Only from the extreme right is the rigorously moderate middle perceived as left-leaning.

NPR has a bias. Fox has an agenda.

NPR has always taken a liberal position in story selection, that’s who they are and that’s their audience. However, their slant is far, far less extreme than Reactionary Republican Fox nor the paper from Manhattan that anymore should be named The Democrat Times.

Why is this being treated like it’s new news? Everyone’s known this for years.

How can NPR, an entity funded with taxpayer money, be compared to FOX, an entity funded with private money? If a private company wants to lie about being biased, that’s one thing, but a company financed by taxpayers shouldn’t lie to taxpayers about it.

Besides, since NPRs taxpayer funding is only an insignificant part of its total, we should defund it and direct the money toward our astronomical debt problem.

NPR should be defunded immediately. Are you listening President Trump?

“Funding for NPR comes from dues and fees paid by member stations, underwriting from corporate sponsors and annual grants from the publicly funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Most of its member stations are owned by non-profit organizations, including public school districts, colleges, and universities.”

Why do you think they have so many beg-a-thons?

FLAG the radicalized useful-idiots for misinformation that NPR is “taxpayer funded”!

“… NPR is a membership organization. Member stations are required to be non-commercial or non-commercial educational radio stations; have at least five full-time professional employees; operate for at least 18 hours per day; and not be designed solely to further a religious broadcasting philosophy or be used for classroom distance learning programming. Each member station receives one vote at the annual NPR board meetings—exercised by its designated Authorized Station Representative (”A-Rep").

To oversee the day-to-day operations and prepare its budget, members elect a board of directors. The board was previously composed of ten A-Reps, five members of the general public, and the chair of the NPR Foundation. On November 2, 2015, NPR Members approved a change in the NPR Bylaws to expand the board of directors to 23 directors, consisting of 12 Member Directors who are managers of NPR Member stations and are elected to the board by their fellow Member stations, 9 Public Directors who are prominent members of the public selected by the board and confirmed by NPR Member stations, the NPR Foundation Chair, and the NPR President & CEO. Terms are for three years and are staggered such that some stand for election every year. …" — Wikipedia

NPR, has not been “public” for quite sometime now. I dropped support for it years ago.

Facts have a liberal bias.

I can hear them, now:

“I don’t care about [the facts], everybody knows it has a liberal bias!”

Because an aware, educated, and informed public is, to them, “leftist”. It’s so much more betterer to be blissfully ignorant and compliant.

Back when I was growing up, we had the best of all possible worlds, though we didn’t appreciate it at the time – if we were lucky, we had three television channels, with Walter Cronkite, or Huntly-Brinkley delivering all the news in 15-minute segments…

We also had three news magazines for in-depth coverage “Newsweek” for the Right wing, “Time” for the left wing and “U.S. News & World Report” for truly in-depth, center new reporting.

Because “Everybody Knows” that education, arts, science, music, dance, biology, you know… facts! All of that stuff, has a “Leftist” bias. And we can’t have that, can we?

We’re all born ignorant, but you really have to work at it to stay that way – or you are trapped in an occupation or environment that hardens you from exposure to the darker and more violent side of humanity. Where education, kindness, and enlightenment is considered to be a “weakness”.

In FOX (“All the news fit for MAGA viewers like you!”):

- Trey Gowdy: Trump re-authorized FISA because he saw a FOX legal commenter complain about it.

- Black host Harris Faulkner had a cherry-picked black guest spout “Immigrants are poisoning the bloodlines of America”.

- Nothing says “America First” like Fox News rewarding Greg Gutfeld, who called for Civil War on the air, with a new, attaboy multiyear contract.

- TX Gov. Gregg Abbott went on FOX to say the high employment numbers are all because of him.

- FOX keeps fear-mongering about a “huge crime wave”, even though violent crime is significantly down, nation-wide.

- Perino and Turley say Trump’s slander on Judge’s daughters to be “just like” the criticism of Clarence Thomas accepting the unreported, lavish gifts of oligarchs.

- Jesse Waters thinks it’s a swell idea to have shootout in a New York subway car, using myopic Archie Bunker logic, saying “You could just have everybody carry a gun,”

On another “Alternate Facts” media, NewsMax host Rob Finnerty thinks the country of Africa is a country, and then slammed President Biden for not “knowing” that.

Reality has a liberal bias.

MAGAts HATE that.

NPR has consistently and increasingly been leaning / lurching right these past few decades.

… all while the centrists and the center have completely evaporated and the whole political landscape has been yanked, pulled, and slanted far, far right.

Thanks to the authoritarian cultists of the former GOP.

[mic drop]

The Right rejects facts.

For all the left wingers yammering about NPR funding:

Per NPR;

“ Public Radio and Federal Funding Federal funding is essential to public radio’s service to the American public and itscontinuation is critical for both stations andprogram producers, including NPR.”

Press release April 12, 2023.

So all you lefties take up the issue with NPR. If you think government funding of NPR is inconsequential, then you won’t mind when President Trump defunds it.

I think everyone is misinterpreting Breen’s image. The speech balloon accurately represents the understanding, intention, and unbiased stance of NPR. The truth is neither “left” or “right”. The lean of the logo is simply a reflection of the hurricane-force fartage from the right-wing media / Republican propaganda machine.

I listen to NPR because they report the news. No bs like a lot of other so called news outlets.

A veteran journalist at NPR stated of 87 editors on staff, 100% are registered Dems. If that seems far-fetched, try watching even 10 minutes of any their programming to see the incredible bias.

I mean sure, looting is counterproductive. But it’s hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of the system of the oppression founded on treating people’s ancestors as private property. - NPR New CEO Katherine Maher

Truth has a liberal bias.

Yeah Obama’s a secret Muslim (…an Ay-rab in his cabinet [LaHood]) & they forged his birth certificate clear back in ’62 knowing that SOMEDAY…

I stopped listening to National Public Radio when it turned into National Politically-correct Radio.

If anything, wrong direction.

Indeed leans left….left…and even more left!

P stands for “public”

NPR is fact-based in its reporting, which is why GOP keeps trying to defund it.

Not true at all Breen. Do your research. See adfontesmedia interactive-media-bias-chart/

Seriously, what slant? They give the Republicans too much free airtime.
