Because this is my bugaboo, here is a shortened list of all the bullshit that caused me to start yelling at my car radio from NPR:
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. They claimed that having objectivity in the face of despotism was immoral.
NPR News claimed 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 blaming senior citizen victims of violent crime on their inability to assimilate to foreign immigrant cultures and languages.
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.
My personal favorites from trumps first term was before I quit listening:
• Having James Comey on “wait, wait, don’t tell me” to spread Russia gate propaganda and le drumf bad
• Terri Gross asking a Brazilian farmer how he felt about Donald Trump on a piece about… agricultural deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.
• an entire segment on Afrofuturism where people repeatedly were egregiously black supremacist and the ending was some chick lamenting over how Detroit “used to be just so black”.
Having James Comey on “wait, wait, don’t tell me” to spread Russia gate propaganda and le drumf bad
I forgot the name of it, but that was the comedy show I was referencing. I never heard that one, I must have missed it that weekend for some reason. I was listening at the time, but was actively losing my shit over their coverage of Donald Trump "admitting to rape".
I believe my exact words were: "DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUCKING WORD "LET" MEANS?!!!"
lamenting over how Detroit “used to be just so black”
?????
Detroit used to be WHITE.
This fucking Black NatSoc shit is always crazy fucking magical thinking.
I just realized people act the same way about gentrification that they do with race swapping. It's only ever ok to go black. Once you go black you can never go back.
This was a piece about book authors who wrote black “sci-fi” where the entire planet was black in the “near future”. They could have said blacks were the original Greeks and it would have fit in the piece without anyone batting an eyelash.
The entire planet being black is that fuckin' "magic melanin is a dominant gene" psycho-science. The entire planet being black in the near future would require abortions to go down.
Honestly, best chance to fuck with them is to invoke Malcolm X. "How would you become the only race if you keep asking for money from White people?"

Odd that you only now noticed this.
Sometimes people call it "gentrification" when they literally just want segregation. Until they realize the white people's tax revenue also goes away.
GET FUCKED BATON ROUGE.

Didn't NPR also have some author on talking about a book she wrote about how the BLM riots were good and justified too?
Yes, and that sentiment had already been around for a long time before that book.
