.@NPR has just written an advertisement for Nazis under the guise of reporting on the problem of white supremacist hate groups.
Don’t believe us?
A 🧵…starting with this positive headline.
@MrOlmos, @jimurquhartpixs what are you thinking? What was your editor thinking?
1/
The headers above the sections, about NAZIS (!), read:
-Finding people with like minds
-A nice way to go about it
-Projecting power
-“It’s a good way to relate to normal people”
-The face of hate
Barring one, these might as well have been written by a PR firm. 2/
According to Fascist Quarterl— er, we mean @NPR, the Nazis are a scrappy, admirable bunch of go-getters with the gumption to “punch above their weight and get noticed.”
@MrOlmos @jimurquhartpixs and your editor, what on Earth are you doing? 3/
‘Nazi, will you share with us some of your tactics and how recruitment is going? Our audience will be excited to hear about what you have planned and it gives us a chance to allow you to spread LGBTQ hate.’ - @MrOlmos, probably. 4/
.@MrOlmos, @jimurquhartpixs, & their @NPR editors quote an extremism expert who tells them the article they are writing assists this group of Nazis terrorizing the citizens of Florida in a nearly flawless manner.
NPR chooses frames that help Nazis.
@NPRpubliceditor, comment?
Unbelievable boosting of Nazis exactly according to their own desires and strategy for growth.
@NPRpubliceditor has a lot to answer for.
