They suspended him without pay. Don't speak out against the mothership. Sure as heck don't research the political bias (87:0 dem:republican in the news room) and publish that.

NPR's story about their suspending him:

Uri Berliner's article about the bias at NPR

quote:

At NPR, we hitched our wagon to Trump’s most visible antagonist, Representative Adam Schiff.

.... During many of those conversations, Schiff alluded to purported evidence of collusion. The Schiff talking points became the drumbeat of NPR news reports.

But when the Mueller report found no credible evidence of collusion, NPR’s coverage was notably sparse. Russiagate quietly faded from our programming.

My Dad introduced me to NPR. When he would drive we'd listen to alot of talk radio, Paul Harvey, Car Talk (click and clack) on Saturday mornings. He was a Rush listener from the early 90's.

Every so often on the drive to school he'd put it on NPR so he could "hear what the enemy was saying"

I actually gained an appreciation for the relaxing presentation of NPR. Haven't listened to in probably over 5 years however. I didn't agree with the slant but did enjoy some of the story telling.

My own opinions about 9/11 being an inside job have formed within the last 7 years. That doesn't absolve NPR of having coined the phrase "alleged terrorist Osama bin Laden" and using it on the regular, beginning in 2002.

Why does the GOP support funding this arm of the Dem party? People in that organization aren't allowed to present alternate views.

Car Talk

I loved listening to this show with my Dad. The banter while the caller's problem was researched was always hilarious to me as a kid. Good times.

Because they are clearly a mouth piece for the democrats now I agree. I think the GOP should refuse to fund them.

However, federal funding isn’t much of their total revenue.

Maybe these fools will begin seeing the errors of their ways and tell others.

It's still a substantial amount through indirect funneling schema

Sounds like my house in the 1990's. But at the time NPR wasn't nearly as biased, as this article notes. They were left, but they didn't say stuff like "the alleged terrorist UBL". Now you get the feeling they want anybody who didn't go to college in Vermont or Massachusetts to be second class citizens.
