I’ve been subjected to too much NPR in the last few days. It’s sad hearing them and knowing Marxism would help them so much in making sense of the world. For example I remember when, on Planet Money, the guest was asked what would happen if there was no unemployment. He couldn’t come up with an answer.
Citations Needed is like a left wing NPR.
True, that show’s great.
sorry if it’s a dumb question, but what’s NPR?
U.S.'s “National Public Radio”.
Don’t let the name fool you, they receive more private funding than public funding. They even got mad at Musk for slapping a “U.S. government-affiliated media” label on their Twitter account, crying, “no, in fact, we’re almost 99% privately owned!” and ditching the platform.
I have liked a couple of their programs, but even their best program cannot escape the confines of the liberal braincage.
Oh, during Bush’s presidency, they banned the word torture from being used in any of their pieces detailing his administration, claiming it was a loaded and biased term to describe waterboarding. So.
Never sure how much weight to place on ‘public’ even in the best of bourgeois dictatorships.
