Reply to comment by NickSwardsonIsFat in TIL the legendary story about a janitor who came up with Flamin' Hot Cheetos was a lie. by Station_Emotional

NPR is definitely biased, which is annoying. I'm a conservative who literally used to listen to them every single day for years until the 2016 election cycle when their minds exploded. I took them off my preset for a while and decided to try them again in, idk 2018 or 2019 and that lasted about a week - so much bias it was like listening to anti-Fox news (which I also can't stand).

I just want unbiased reporting of news without opinion, and I can't even get it from public broadcasting. It sucks.

Yup, unbiased reporting is boring. NPR still has its moments, and nowadays if you report on anything topical in a logical way, it will come across as a left talking point.

Libraries forced to remove books, the opinion that it shouldn't be done is sadly now seen as a left talking point. Of course it isnt. It's the majority opinion.

The problem is many pundits on the right refuse to make that statement because it can lock them from further appearances.

This continues down the topic list. From LGBTQ matters and police reform, to environmental issues. This makes it hard to book guests, and also makes it difficult to engage in honest discussion because no one wants to say something that loses them money, and I can tell you from experience, if it's journalism on TV or Radio, it's about money.
