    My dad does this and I fucking hate it… Every time I see him over the holidays he’s preaching some fox news bullshit, “informing” family and friends about this and that b.s story that completely lacked all nuance to have a narrative formed.

        This false equivalency bullshit. No, it’s not like that at all.

        First of all, I’ve never seen anyone on the left treat npr the way conservatives treat Fox News. “Screaming npr”? Give me a fucking break.

        Second, npr is nothing but boring, milquetoast reporting. Just because you were told again and again that it’s some leftist propaganda or some shit, does not make it true.

        In fact, prior to having their funding cancelled completely, they were shifting to the right in an apparent over correction because conservatives were treating them like leftist propaganda. Because that’s what they were told. Which is fucking insane to anyone who has ever read or listened to NPR.
