Obviously didn’t read the article

I’ll do better than that, why don’t you read the whole article I linked to. It is not what I said it is what a twenty year NPR staff member said.

Decker you are far too bright (I hope) to believe in that nonsense. You’re surely aware of the difference between critical coverage and sycophantic coverage.

“NPR’s managing editor for news at the time said that the outlet had no interest in “[wast[ing] our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.”‘[wast[ing] our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions”

The election was in 2020…fact The mea culpa was in 2022…fact

Once the election was over they were free to report the truth (and cover their asses)

Read the article, I only posted snippets.

No Hunter was covered. NPR claimed it was a Russian hoax.

Why are you so triggered by the truth? Is your worldview so fragile that you resort to name calling when it is challenged by facts?

Not complaining, just pointing out the hypocrisy of those who claim to cherish the concept of diversity, when nothing could be further from the truth. Unfortunately NPR has devolved into a left-wing cesspool of intellectual incest. (As revealed by one of their own)

Why do you have a preoccupation with making things about me.

I don’t think they can, it will confirm all of his criticisms. Then again they might be so deep into the cool aid that they don’t recognize it and fire him anyway.

What in the world does that have to do with this topic? Did you intend to post elsewhere?

Let’s get back on track…From Gallup “More Americans said in 2024 that they would not consider purchasing an electric vehicle (EV) than in 2023, a new Gallup poll found. The poll found that 48 percent of respondents said they would not consider buying an electric vehicle — up 7 percentage points than those who said the same in 2023.” Wow! Looks like public sentiment is going the wrong way,

MTG is an insane wacko

Oh I forgot it only works one way, every time there is anything bad it is because of global warming (almost like we never had anything bad happen until recently) a fellow leftie even blamed the hatching of cicadas, the eclipse and the recent earthquake on global warming. It has gotten so ridiculous that the alarmists even blame record cold on global warming. Bill Nye a prominent alarmist even went as far as lighting a globe on fire with a blow torch to illustrate that the planet was “literally” on fire. I just mentioned that I saw no evidence of a global conflagration on my ride.

You forgot eugenics, forced sterilization, involuntary euthanasia and partial birth abortions and some left wing superstars: Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and our very own Woodrow Wilson and Margaret Sanger.

I didn’t know you so easily triggered

First of all we are not nearly at the height of our tax bracket, my wife plans to work for at least another ten years (she loves what she does). Given the trajectory of her career it would not be unreasonable for her to make an additional 50%. Also when the Trump tax cuts expire our tax burden will increase significantly. BTW it’s not what Democrats might do it’s what they say they will do.

What do you think I meant when I said “the problem with progressivism is too much is never enough” With respect to trans-women, my tongue was planted firmly in my cheek. Given my stated position on the matter on this forum, you should have realized that.

You are overthinking this Wendy, it’s so simple a kindergartener understands. BTW I am not talking about intersex traits, I am referring to the notion that a man can wake up one day decide he is a she and crush the ladies in athletics and some folks call that progress.

All of those countries are overwhelmingly white. Isn’t that a bit racist?

https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust “It’s true NPR has always had a liberal bent, but during most of my tenure here, an open-minded, curious culture prevailed. We were nerdy, but not knee-jerk, activist, or scolding. In recent years, however, that has changed. Today, those who listen to NPR or read its coverage online find something different: the distilled worldview of a very small segment of the U.S. population… 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.”… Our news audience doesn’t come close to reflecting America. It’s overwhelmingly white and progressive, and clustered around coastal cities and college towns.“ I guess I am one of the small minority of right leaning folks who listen to NPR and I have to say I have made the same observation. If not for queer, climate change and and all things urban, aka black (which is ironic given only six percent of the audience is black) there would be radio silence for 75% of the day. BTW in NPR’s Washington headquarters there are 80+ registered Democrats and exactly ZERO Republicans. So much for diversity.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/volkswagen-electric-car-sales-plunge-122915038.html “Sales of Volkswagen electric cars have plunged by almost a quarter in Europe as demand for battery-powered vehicles stalls and buyers return to petrol.” Doesn’t really fit into the “great transition” narrative now does it?

“Last week, Tesla reported a significant decline in car sales over the first three months of 2024. The company delivered 387,000 cars over that period, marking a 20% decline from the previous quarter and an 8% decline year-over-year, an earnings report showed. The results fell well short of Wall Street expectations.” https://abcnews.go.com/Business/tesla-stock-plummeted-year-company-recover/story?id=109032113 I believe I still have one year left on my Tesla bankruptcy prediction
