Do you fill out your own tax form? Just complete a Schedule C, and you can do the exact same thing. It's called an unreimbursed business expense. No special privilege. Available to anyone who files. Look it up.
Ha, ha, ha. No one in public radio has ever criticized news gathering of commercial radio.
The few people left working as radio news reporters on the local level tend to be very serious about remaining unbiased.
As do those in public radio.
Maybe what some are referring to, quite accurately, is the "choice" of stories that air. Their may be a tendency for stations with an ideological bent to go heavy with the stories that are most likely going to inflame their audiences. Notice I said "inflame", not "inform".
Go back many pages in this thread, and you'll see that is exactly what I listed as the #1 aspect of bias in the news reported on "Morning Edition" and "All Things Considered".
What does this have to do with their news people? These are sales people. Not news people. And they got fired.
They weren't "sales people". They were top executives. This is systematic.
They were sales people. Don't lie. In public radio, they're called "development," but they're just people who go after money, and make a commission. It's systematic of people who do that for a living. It has nothing to do with news. There is a very hard firewall between them and the news people.
I'm not the one lying here.
Get confronted by proof of malfeasance at NPR? Start making personal attacks.
I think because there is such premeditated and palpable bias in right-wing media, it is automatically assumed by those who imbibe it, that there is certainly at least as much bias in the "mainstream" media. The difference of course is that when the librul media makes a mistake based on someone's bias, they admit it and fire people. The right-wing media just acts as if it didn't happen, if not doubles down.
I'm pretty sure this entire thread is an example of the mainstream media NOT admitting bias. But you're so delusional nothing would convince you.

No, I'm not delusional. I admit their is individual or rogue bias that comes though here and there in the mainstream media, but there is NOT the systemic bias, the institutionalized bias, that is the force behind much of the right wing media. They specifically aim to please a niche audience of wingnuts by regularly throwing them red meat. It's painfully transparent. Denying THAT really is a demonstration of a living-in-the-bubble mentality.
You'll never, ever realize that though, for a reason.
