What happened to ME? I’d listened for ~20 yrs before smarmy unctuous Inskeep succeeded (but in no way replaced) Bob Edwards.
Last week SI went out of his way “must mention” (iirc) to link global Tesla protests w/ a few acts of vandalism.
By same logic, Inskeep=Rush Limbaugh.
Why does ME now love SI?

It's been unlistenable for years. Pretty much from when Inskeep joined, though it's gotten steadily worse. I miss listening but have had a lot of time to get used to it.

I started by just flipping it off when there was a an objectionable report. But at at some point stopped turning it back on.

I swore off the news division of NPR in the late 90s. They showed their real colors back then. They haven’t been trustworthy since.

I think this is good and people should listen to these monsters and worry like hell and wake the fuck up this shit he is saying will become the future and people are still sidewalk protesting with funny signs like its just a bad presidency.

Inskeep is problematic

plutoniary.bsky.social•11 days ago

I knew they were complicit when they ran an Asma Khaled story last fall accusing HARRIS of word salad. It was ludicrous.

plutoniary.bsky.social•11 days ago

I’m so fucking sick of listening to their chipper reporters who sound like they’re teenagers talking about the fascist regime like it’s business as usual. And it’s the best news with wide reach we’ve got. ☹️

It's good to keep tabs on the right-wing influencers, especially when their influence affects us all, and Inskeep did push back. He's got enough of the White male entitlement that he gets respected by Bannon types. He's always cutting off his co-hosts.

Journalists for outlets you've heard of are almost all nepo babies who don't care about the work beyond clout and dopamine release of doing "big" stories and talking to "important" people.

He's not right because his reasoning is wrong but the press are the enemy of the people.

I could not believe my ears when I heard him yesterday.

volkerball.bsky.social•11 days ago

Steve Bannon did a Nazi salute in solidarity with Elon and no one even bothered to defend it because it was already normalized. But sure, lets keep giving him airtime and pretend he has something of value to say.

booond.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thankfully, I've stopped listening to their news for the most part.

wossamotta.bsky.social•11 days ago

Might be good to remind NPR of this during their next pledge break.

@steveinskeep.bsky.social Not okay

strangernalps.bsky.social•11 days ago

Saving this for the next time the fuckers at NPR ask me for money.

lbigisland.bsky.social•11 days ago

If it proves to everyone else that it is not worth sucking up to MAGA, then it will have been worth it.

flohank.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yesterday they had Heritage’s Kevin Roberts on, crowing, with no pushback…they can’t jump into the tank fast enough

abstract53.bsky.social•11 days ago

Inskeep and editors are obeying in advance

bayoupolitics.bsky.social•11 days ago

I suspect they're obeying in realtime.

Where does PBS and NPR a chunk of their funding from again? Good bet the regime said "platform our ghouls or lose funding." Watch Banon be the first of many to come. They leaned on Universities. Most caved. This may be no different... and oh would you look at that:
