During Covid, NPR argued for children to get vaccinated without parental consent, while arguing against marriages even with parental consent
NPR during the Black Lives Matter riots and hysteria was particularly unbearable
NPR covered for the most economically damaging riots in American history, and never even considered or made the case for Chauvin's innocence
NPR's CEO, Katherine Maher, said "truth is a distraction from getting things done"
In New Hampshire, some conservatives and libertarians put together a completely neutral, non-charged categorization of churches based on their social stances.
NPR ran an article about how this was dangerous.
"without evidence"
NPR has run multiple segments on the idea that inheritance is racist
Every piece of NPR coverage of the Atlanta shooting of sex workers omits they were sex workers but discusses "anti-AAPI violence"
NPR outright refused to cover the Biden laptop story, calling it a "distraction"
every male on "This American Life" had a testosterone level so low it places them outside of the normal male range and closer to the female range
most doctors would medicate this
nothing showed NPR's inclination towards propaganda as much as Covid
These incidents, and others, led longtime NPR reporter Uri Berliner to suggest the station has lost its way.
It's good that NPR has lost it's funding, but Congress needs to change the laws or they'll get it back as soon as a Democrat is elected.
