Trump to PBS and NPR: I’m cutting you off…

What they choose to cover is the most clear metric of a bias.

Except that Ira Glass doesn't work for NPR, and This American Life is not an NPR program.

Had the writer simply gone to the show website, they would have seen this:

Our show is produced in collaboration with WBEZ Chicago and delivered to stations by PRX, Public Radio Exchange.

Also, On The Media is not an NPR show. It is produced by WNYC Studios, and they also distribute the show independently.

Uri Berliner, who worked there for years, tried to get NPR to see the light.

After his article, CPB addressed the issues he wrote about. Two years later, they were defunded.

Proving that the right doesn't want balanced news. They want it shut down completely.

Sure.

None of those are specific examples of the "slanted climate coverage" you claim NPR has done... which is funny, because you also make it clear that you don't actually listen to NPR. You just rely on the slanted coverage of MAGA commentators to tell you what NPR's allegedly slanted coverage coverage is like.

True too we mentioned this before when local NPR News/talk affiliates are not at drive time they air other content like local productions, BBC News, Pacifica in some parts of the country and PRX. It’s all about Chairman Carr what he’s ranting at the time.

The articles are also more than ten years old. Actual listening would require them to hear voices and opinions they don't like from people they feel should be silenced and not allowed to vote. The articles selectively pick stories that prove their point, completely out of context from all the other stories covered.

When they defunded CPB, they said NPR & PBS would be free to say whatever they wanted from then on. But that was a lie. They're still angry, continue to attack public broadcasting, and are now adding commercial networks to the target list.
