  1. What part of “science is not done by consensus” eluded you? Paraphrasing Einstein, No a number of climate scientists can ever prove me right; a single one can prove me wrong. If you were a student of history you would know that science is more often wrong than it is right. Questioning science IS LITERALLY HOW SCIENCE IS DONE.
  2. Do you have anything to support that claim or are you just spouting off nonsense? I’ll do my best Jakee….”LIAR!!! PROVE IT!!! I WANT TO SEE PROOF!!!
  3. That number has declined as the signal for anthropological climate change has failed to materialize, the growing number of skeptics even includes a recent Nobel prize winner. Check out my Climate Change the Movie post, lots of scientists, lots of data. BTW science is not done by consensus. If it were the Earth would still be at the center of the universe and white people would still be considered superior.
  4. In a staff meeting their CEO said that DEI was their “North Star” and that the would now be agents for change. They also said they would no longer cover both sides of the climate issue. Unfortunately NPR has gone full woke.
  5. “Berliner said that among editorial staff at NPR’s Washington, DC, headquarters, he counted 87 registered Democrats and no Republicans. He wrote that he presented these findings to his colleagues at a May 2021 all-hands editorial staff meeting. “When I suggested we had a diversity problem with a score of 87 Democrats and zero Republicans, the response wasn’t hostile,” Berliner wrote.” From the New York Post April 10
  6. Jakee did you miss this? From the Telegraph April 10 “Mr Berliner, who has spent 25 years at NPR, attributes its shift in coverage to Donald Trump’s election in 2016 – noting that he voted against the former president twice but attempted to cover him fairly.” More proof for you to to ignore
  7. Yes, but I’m sure someone else must have said something similar.
  8. From the Telegraph April 10 “Mr Berliner, who has spent 25 years at NPR, attributes its shift in coverage to Donald Trump’s election in 2016 – noting that he voted against the former president twice but attempted to cover him fairly.” More proof for you to to ignore
  9. Dude, IT WAS A JOKE!! And yes everyone knows that the poor are disproportionately impacted by poverty.
  10. I’m not going to waste my time, last time I gave you evidence you came back with “Ok so NPR’s literature department is biased but…” Apparently your brain is so damaged by Trump Derangement Syndrome that you are unable to connect the dots and when the dots are connected for you, you refuse to see them. If you want to believe that a self described NPR lifer is secretly a member of the John Birch Society, and a rabid Trump supporter, have fun with your delusion.
  11. I just read this to my wife and FWIW she is in full concurrence
  12. You are too fun. It has been widely reported and NPR has not disputed the veracity of that claim. If you have some evidence to the contrary, I am all ears. But you can’t, so I will just sit back and laugh at you.
  13. I guess you don’t know what “fits the mold” means. Also he is an editor at NPR and all 88 editors at NPR are Democrats…ZERO Republicans. (Use your brain) Congratulations you join Olof in the… Club
  14. He is a self described liberal progressive and Democrat. If you have any evidence to the contrary I would be eager to see it.
  15. “I’m Sarah Lawrence–educated, was raised by a lesbian peace activist mother, I drive a Subaru, and Spotify says my listening habits are most similar to people in Berkeley. I fit the NPR mold. I’ll cop to that.” Do you know what “I fit the NPR mold” means? You are really grasping at straws.
  16. “I’m Sarah Lawrence–educated, was raised by a lesbian peace activist mother, I drive a Subaru, and Spotify says my listening habits are most similar to people in Berkeley.” Yep, sounds like a far right MAGA extremist. No credibility.
  17. NPR (employee) saying the quiet part out loud was a legitimate title. The bias revealed was from a NPR staffer, not me. The observation that NPR has devolved into a left-wing cesspool of intellectual incest is my characterization of that bias. It sort of reminds me of what SC has become.
  18. Your Trump derangedment not withstanding, the bias of NPR was not my point, rather the point of a twenty year veteran of the NPR staff, I just shared it.
  19. “The laptop story was discredited by US intelligence and independent investigations by news organizations,” the book review by Ron Elving, senior editor of the publicly funded media organization, initially claimed. The correction on the Thursday article now says, “A previous version of this story said US intelligence had discredited the laptop story. US intelligence officials have not made a statement to that effect.” This is where they falsely claimed US intelligence said it could be Russian disinformation
  20. “With the election only weeks away, NPR turned a blind eye. Here’s how NPR’s managing editor for news at the time explained the thinking: “We don’t want to waste 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.” they cover for Hunter and covered up the truth, so I guess there was some covering going on, my bad
  21. “Schiff, who was the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, became NPR’s guiding hand, its ever-present muse. By my count, NPR hosts interviewed Schiff 25 times about Trump and Russia. During many of those conversations, Schiff alluded to purported evidence of collusion. The Schiff talking points became the drumbeat of NPR news reports. But when the Mueller report found no credible evidence of collusion, NPR’s coverage was notably sparse. Russiagate quietly faded from our programming. It is one thing to swing and miss on a major story. Unfortunately, it happens. You follow the wrong leads, you get misled by sources you trusted, you’re emotionally invested in a narrative, and bits of circumstantial evidence never add up. It’s bad to blow a big story… In October 2020, the New York Post published the explosive report about the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer shop containing emails about his sordid business dealings. With the election only weeks away, NPR turned a blind eye. Here’s how NPR’s managing editor for news at the time explained the thinking: “We don’t want to waste 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.” But it wasn’t a pure distraction, or a product of Russian disinformation, as dozens of former and current intelligence officials suggested. The laptop did belong to Hunter Biden. Its contents revealed his connection to the corrupt world of multimillion-dollar influence peddling” when you are a mouthpiece for a liar you are complicit in the lie
