The only people who continue to listen to NPR are those who WANT to believe what they claim because they want to be an enlightened progressive centrist or something.
These are wikipedia liberals.
Trump's wikipedia entry for a case study. Before end of 2015 it had many positive statements, such as "one of his first projects [succeeded in] turning a 1200 unit complex with a 66% vacancy rate to 100% occupancy within a year". Since 2016 there's not a single positive statement in the entire entry - and it's long.
They even replace MAGA with "Trumpism" because "make great" is a positive framing. "Trump is the central figure of Trumpism" - which links to a page about something "also referred to as MAGA". The central thesis and slogan of two successful election campaigns is not even mentioned one time in their history of the man. The same of course applies on the entry for "Trumpism" -- absolutely no positive statement in the entire entry.
The NPR and wikipedia audience's defining characteristic is that when they are presented with a huge set of entirely one-sided statements they're not at all suspicious.
