re: NPR journalist admits writers at the org became bias to overthrow Trumps term

What I have learned is that if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. No matter how someone self-identifies, if they behave like a partisan propaganda agent for a particular political group, they probably are one. If one appears to have no intellectual honesty or moral consistency and merely supports the same “team” on every issue, regardless of past stances on said issue, they’re probably a partisan hack.

A disproportionately large percentage of partisan hacks for the progressive establishment are literal paid operatives or bots programmed by paid operatives. There are very few “true believers” acting as journalists or influencers online who don’t have a monetary incentive to be one.
