Utterly pathetic.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher says that NPR was "mistaken" and "should have covered the Hunter Biden story more aggressively." She also said that NPR has acknowledged "that the new CIA evidence" about the Wuhan lab leak is "is worthy of coverage, and have covered it."

Fucking cowards

Natural progression when you allow idiocy and hatred to flourish instead of shutting it down. No better example of that than Velveeta Perón and his entourage of corrupt imbeciles.

They'd already said this in previous statements, long before this hearing. This isn't capitulation, this is honest, after-the-fact analysis. It is okay to admit you were wrong, and pretending otherwise because it doesn't fit an agenda is bad.

genuinely wish Hunter Biden pulled a George Bailey & simply never existed

Not really. NPR purposefully gate keeps. Covering something doesn’t mean obsessing over it like conservative media does. But NPR sometimes commits the common sin of omission

One thing these places apparently don't get is that if you have to lose yourself to save yourself you've already lost.

Oh.
This explains the entirely too long COVID denialist puff video I shut off Monday…

We are really going to have to build pro-democracy media from the ground up. Everyone got so used to being an institutionalist that they forgot the point of their institutions in the first place. Make them shut you down so they can't pretend things are normal.

Because he's in the news, this is apropos

Note to self: never contribute to NPR

I gave monthly for 20+ years until I couldn’t take their political coverage seriously. Now I hate listen to see how they cover stories I already know about. It’s the audio equivalent of NYT (derogatory).

bbix.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s discouraging and frustrating and all I know is they have lost their way, and I’m not going to support it, thanks for sharing your situation

Just like PBS. Tried to watch one of their recent FRONTLINE pieces on Trump's re-election, and it was non-stop propaganda about how hard-charging he was and had all his biggest fans gushing over him.

I had no idea what I was even watching anymore.

It certainly is. My lord where are the intelligent honest people who care about America

bjc860.bsky.social•4 days ago

Someone should probably let her know that there's no new evidence of a lab leak. It's the same "evidence" regurgitated under more favorable framing to that claim by Trump's CIA.

Good grief.

How does Trump's ass taste? 😱

Once in a while I flirt with donating again to NPR, and then they pull crap like this which reinforces my original decision to never give them a single dime.
