I know some people might not like NPR, but the message matters and can help someone you know. In particular this story touches on women’s issues.
Who the fuck doesn’t like NPR?

maga nuts and the rest of the ‘far right’. truth and an informed populace are their enemy.

I’ve seen folks on here hating NPR for unbiased reporting, because the reporting didn’t say what they wanted. Haven’t listened in for a few years, but when I did NPR was solidly unbiased.
They could present a story where you thought, “How could there be ANY other side?”, and yet presented the other side without prejudice. Some people don’t like that. Because some people don’t understand journalism.

I’ve seen equal parts “NPR is commie leftist bullshit” and “NPR is sanewashing Trump and is right wing” and I feel like I’m going insane

People should be deeply grateful for NPR, and PBS has been a national treasure. I still can’t believe we defunded Sesame Street and at the same time that anyone has an axe to grind with the only unbiased reporting left in our nation.
Thanks for the link.

The problem is that unbiased reporting usually reveals conservative corruption and poor behavior.

Facts have a liberal bias.

TBH it’s been frustrating to see how watered down the reporting has been this year.
Listening to KQED (local NPR affiliate) I was hearing taking heads from the CATO institute and the Heritage Foundation, without any qualifications of what those orgs are.
You can really feel the slide into milquetoast, neutered, both-sides press from every major outlet and the domestic landscape, but it’s still a head above trying to get your news from CNN/CNBC/MSNBC/WaPo.
I can’t fathom people on this platform being offended by how left-wing the people’s Media has been though, historically, when they have gone out of their way to be so damned neutral and nakedly honest in their coverage.
