Hunter was covered for.

“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

Still have 2% to go

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?
