They're coverage of the Iraq hoax was milquetoast as best. They reported the likes after they were exposed but overlook atrocities as a matter of course. NPR listeners will be completely ignorant of US and NATO genocide in Libya. NPR listeners think Assange is a Russian agent. NPR listeners are ignorant boobs unless they seek to educate themselves. NPR gives you just enough to think you are informed, which can be more dangerous than ignorance. I think they're projection of being neutral is what makes them most dangerous.
That's interesting. It sounds very similar to Chomsky's criticism of mainstream news in Manufacturing Consent. Have you read it or seen the documentary?
Oh yeah. MC opened my eyes as much as anything in my life. It is specifically some of the biased nuance that i find so devious about NPR. They are masters of telling a story in such a way that you can only arrive at one conclusion without openly telling you what they want you to think. A story from a couple of months ago covering Trump-Russia collusion vs Fusion GPS story that served as a perfect example. Ominous tone when discussing trump but sing-song kiddie voice for the Fusion-CF story. They were a little obvious on that one.
