I listened to NPR for like five minutes today. They had on Sarah Isgur to talk about what a tough spot Roberts was in because Biden was prosecuting his opponent for a crime for which he wasn’t impeached.

And then they brought on some other jar of mayonnaise to say the SCOTUS ruling legalizing Watergate wasn’t the end of the world because future presidents will realize on their own that they shouldn’t throw their enemies into gulags.

the first time someone does get thrown in a gulag we're going to have a five person panel and four of them are going to argue that this is fine and good, actually

Without a doubt. I saw a video once of 5-6 cops tacking a woman for evading subway fare and the majority of comments were along the lines of “this wouldn’t have happened if she would’ve followed the law”.

Well, they wouldn't have been thrown in there for their beliefs if they'd just complied.

More than 10 years ago I stopped trying to listen to them because they just pushed conservative spin like that all the time. Friends will sometimes say "I was so surprised, even NPR was saying " Don't need the "even", I'll say, that's NPR.

Happened to me in 1981/2 when NPR caved to Reagan Admin pressure vs. reporting on us-backed El Salvador death squads

When I figured out that all Morning Edition did was do an audio version of whatever was in that day's New York Times I stopped listening to NPR
