Highly recommend Boghossian's All Things Reconsidered series. It's a breakdown of some of NPR's most egregious lies and testimonials from people who have given up on listening to them.
Boghossian was one of the trio behind the Sokal Squared hoax (fake SocJus papers submitted and accepted to journals; one being a rewrite of Mein Kampf) with James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose for anyone unfamiliar with him.
The problem isn't that NPR does sideways reporting (reporting so far left it is sideways), it is that so many people believe it isn't.
The NPR version of events is the established Narrative™. I've seen people all over repeat it. Pointing out the factual errors bounces off these people like rifle fire off the mantlet of an M-1 Abrams tank.
They get government money to be the voice of the people after all. Personally I don't even think they should be allowed to use the word "Public" in their name.
The public money part of doesn't bug me anymore, as it is less than 10% of their operating funds. It's been a red herring to distract the right for a long time. The Sean Hannitys of the world would be perfectly fine to let NPR spout their fake news garbage all day long if they didn't have tax dollars going to them. His type still think this is about ideas, and it is nothing of the sort.

Wasn't this deemed as the 'grievance studies' before?
Either one works.

Youtube flagged this as age-restricted after it was posted here.
Apparently liberals finding out Kyle's 'victims' were child rapists was too much for the general public to hear about.
the new york times couldn't spin it against him. npr had no chance.
You got a way to bypass the age restriction? I'm not creating a YouTube account.

Thanks!
The age restriction is recent, too...it wasn't just a while ago.
