Opinion NPR Senior Editor Blasts Lack of ‘Viewpoint Diversity’ After Leftward Lurch: ‘Open-Minded Spirit No Longer Exists’

[koquerelle]

Do you think that in terms of journalistic integrity that NPR is more or less comparable to Fox News?

I think they're better, but FOX is such a low bar.

My wife loves NPR so I listen to it regularly and anyone arguing NPR doesn't have a strong left-wing bias is obviously clueless or dishonest.

 

[Jack V Savage]

Come on. NPR is fair and balanced.

Is your view that the cause of trying to discredit non-Republican news is righteous so that justifies making untrue claims to defend it?

Anyone who disagrees with you for any reason is obviously dishonest because that’s how you define the word, but Berliner's piece was filled with misrepresentation and inaccuracies, and that's true even if you hate everyone left of Atilla the Hun.

Says the guy who calls people who disagrees with him too emotional and always find reasons to talk down to them.

"and that's true even if you hate everyone left of Atilla the Hun": Legit lol. It is such an unhinged line. It doesn't make any sense. WTF is wrong with you?

"Berliner's piece was filled with misrepresentation and inaccuracies": 100% true. The man went on a rant and I honestly don't know what he wanted to achieve. It still doesn't change anything about NPR's left-wing bias.

See my earlier point. I can be a big poopyhead or whatever hateful term you're calling people who dare disagree with you, but it's still true that the piece was filled with errors and misrepresentations, which is what the discussion is about. Your opinion about their leaning or other people doesn't matter to that point. You're either OK with lying because you agree with him or you're not.

She's like Kamala Harris if Kamala Harris spoke with the cadence of the "Puppy who lost his way" Kindergarten teacher from Billy Madison.

I, and I assume many here, have never heard of her until the last could weeks.

Was she that well known by media wonks that she was accused of being employed in Langley way back in 2016?

 

[Scerpi]

She’s a spook…

Jesus Christ, I sorta feel sorry for Jack. He's been used like a punching bag for 11 pages straight.

 

[Dalarna3]

Uh, duh, it’s NPR

Jesus Christ, I sorta feel sorry for Jack. He's been used like a punching bag for 11 pages straight.

Unfortunately, he's a narcissistic psychopath, so it doesn't even register to him.

Nothing to see here. Just one of them truth warriors of the left...

Funny how the piece in the OP fell apart so people have shifted to various attacks on Maher (who didn't even join until last month).

You're talking to yourself again.

Fox News at least employs Democrats. However, if you choose specific Fox Shows like Hannity, then Fox is more partisan (not by much), but they are not trying to hide it. Fox's hard news shows are superior to NPR is bias and content.

Fox news viewers are less informed than people who don't even watch the news. . .

He does that Sam Harris thing where he thinks if he speaks in a calm tone it hides how crazy the shit he's saying is.

The right has been attacking NPR for years now.

Has a single person given even a single example of reporting that is unfairly biased or incorrect?

Apparently not denying climate change disqualifies you from being considered quality reporting.
