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.

Used to be! When I was a kid and we had 3 or 4 TV stations to choose from, and they all pretty much reported the same factual news. Being seen as having a bias was poisonous. People picked a news anchor to watch according to how trustworthy they felt he was. Imagine that!

Every human endeavor is biased. Best we can do is try to be transparent about our biases.

That's kind of my point. The bias is laid bare and I vious for those that listen. NPR did the very best at sharing information while fighting hard to stay neutral, AND kept listeners and viewers informed.

They'll continue their mission, but many smaller affiliate stations that only have Sinclair media broadcasting in their neck of the woods are going to be moderately more screwed than they already were, with more conservative agitprop pretty much occupying their airwaves.
