.@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.
