I used to love listening to NPR and watching PBS a long time ago.
The misconduct of the CBC, BBC, and NPR have convinced me that not only should these media organizations be defunded from government spending; but the government should simply be banned from having the ability to own any internal facing media companies, ever.
Nope, I've never seen it. It might be useful for me to send to others.
I've said it before, but the breaking point for me was the inane partisanship of the Trump election and the Racialism.
"On The Media" media watchdog program explicitly rejecting objective journalism and campaigning against Trump.
NPR News claiming that the NRA was blaming autistic people for active shootings because they said that the government should invest in mental health
NPR News had unchallenged guests claiming that Donald Trump admitted to rape on the Hollywood Access tapes
NPR News presenters were audibly shocked that life expectancy rates for white men declined. They literally did not understand how that could be physically possible when whites were so privileged. The next week a story was done to investigate this and the journalists were shocked at how bad de-industrialization and the opioid epidemic had hurt white rural families, the week after that a story was done that claimed the opioid epidemic really effected urban blacks more than whites, and the whole line of discussion was completely dropped
NPR News panel guests claimed that Betsy DeVoss had legalized rape on college campuses, by repealing the "Dear College" memo which mandated the extra-judicial Title IX Tribunals
"It's Been A Minute" (what I call the NPR Racialist hour) basically had college professors of racial justice
NPR did a puff piece of Zoe Quinn when she wrote her book Con Logs to push a completely false narrative about GamerGate, and never even looked at the literal Con Logs that Ian Miles Cheong revealed to show the level of conspiracy and harassment that ZQ herself was engaging in because people pointed out that she cheated on her boyfriend with game journalists.
Garrison Keeler of Prarie Home Companion was MeToo'd because he allegedly held a woman's shoulder when she was crying some 20-30 years ago. Everyone with a brain saw that he was a devout Lutheran and the show couldn't be revolutionized into whatever garbage management had in mind with his personality still present.
Peter's NPR series is very normie-friendly, particularly for those older liberals themselves that have started to get fed up with all the institutional wokeness but aren't quite redpilled.
They factcheck a lot of the bigger NPR mainstream lies. It's slick and well produced. The hosts are charismatic and safe in a " I'm a rational, homeless liberal like you" fashion.
They also have segments where former NPR listeners write in and describe why they stopped listening to it.
It's too bad it's only 5 episodes long, though I can see why Peter felt it had ran its course since it's so one-noted.

We need a Posse Comitatus Media Act.
Did you ever watch Peter Boghossian's five part All Things Reconsidered NPR series?
It's a few years old now. And they do way too much of the "I'm not a Trump voter, I'm an enlightened centrist" thing.
But I enjoyed the series even though I was never a NPR listener (though I grew up on old school CBC radio).

Five episodes? It looks like there were 15 or so on the play list. Am I high?
