"An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don’t have an audience that reflects America."
.
"There’s an unspoken consensus about the stories we should pursue and how they should be framed. It’s frictionless—one story after another about instances of supposed racism, transphobia, signs of the climate apocalypse, Israel doing something bad, and the dire threat of Republican policies. It’s almost like an assembly line."

A Harris Poll ... found that “3-in-10 audience members familiar with NPR said they associate NPR with the characteristic ‘trustworthy.’ ”
At the current rate in a year NPR won’t have an audience left.
Ask CNN how well that worked out for them. Although they have started to level out and come back. But they teetered on the edge there for a bit.
That didn't take long...

NPR Fires Back at Staffer’s Missive About Left-Wing ‘Miscues’
NPR Struck back on Tuesday at its senior business editor Uri Berliner’s lengthy screed alleged his own outlet has sacrificed journalistic values and adopted progressive views on issues that have alienated Americans.
“I and my colleagues on the leadership team strongly disagree with Uri’s assessment of the quality of our journalism and the integrity of our newsroom processes,” NPR Editor in Chief Edith Chapin wrote to staffers in a memo, which was first reported by The New York Times. “We’re proud to stand behind the exceptional work that our desks and shows do to cover a wide range of challenging stories. We believe that inclusion—among our staff, with our sourcing, and in our overall coverage—is critical to telling the nuanced stories of this country and our world.”
