Does this really surprise anyone?

I call BULLSHIT!

NPR did NOT take until 2023 to be a complete and utter progressive ramrod.

I would hardly care except I am an involuntary contributor.

Part of the problem today is that when people consume media they don't agree with, they tent to label said media as extreme and in the opposite direction to which hey favor. This is really the case for everything. This is a time when everyone likes to think they are centric, they could very well be centric, but their words say otherwise. Every negative opinion lumps people/media or whatever to the extreme.

Nobody can accept that an organization or a person could be central or leans right or left, when that person or organization takes a stance or stances that go against their own beliefs.

Well, there's no mistake where NPR lies, a tax-funded organization no less. From the article:

"It still happens, but often now the trajectory of the conversation is different. After the initial “I love NPR,” there’s a pause and a person will acknowledge, “I don’t listen as much as I used to.” Or, with some chagrin: “What’s happening there? Why is NPR telling me what to think?”

In recent years I’ve struggled to answer that question. Concerned by the lack of viewpoint diversity, I looked at voter registration for our newsroom. In D.C., where NPR is headquartered and many of us live, I found 87 registered Democrats working in editorial positions and zero Republicans. None. "

No surprise Like trying to find a Dem at Fox news.

Are you saying that the paltry 3.4% of ALL JOURNALISTS work at Fox?

Get with the program or there WILL be consequences.

Way to go O'Biden! Karl Marx would be proud. Remember folks, vote Dem and there can be lots more fantastic policy heading your way!

I suspect this House session will go down as one of the most unproductive in history.
In addition to having the majority party replacing their own speaker (and they may do it again if MTG has her way), they look like puppets taking orders from a private citizen under 91 felony charges and going on trial on Monday.
Meanwhile, the world is burning. They had a great opportunity with the bipartisan bill from the Senate, which included their wish list for addressing the border challenges, to get some aid to Ukraine.
Instead, they let Trump pull their string, kill the deal, and Kiev just lost their power station.
Wanna know what they're doing next week? Here it is:

Those are the bills they are taking up. Meanwhile, after taking credit for repealing Roe, everybody's backpedaling from the Arizona disaster.

You may dislike Pelosi and the Dems, but they knew how to keep things together.

Like trying to find a news outlet that isn’t politically motivated and calls out both corrupt parties. Let me know if you find said outlet.

I kinda liked the "Make Appliances Great Again Act" if you look closely at HR 6192.
