NPR Has Been Almost Silent On Trump’s Speech, Only Mentioned Al Green’s “Protest”

My report from the enemy front so you don’t have to…


Almost nothing this morning on Trump’s speech. In fact, about all they mentioned was Al Green’s protest against cuts to health care for the poor and that Mike Johnson had him removed. They also mentioned that many Democrats wore pink in support of women’s rights.

Then they broadcast a lengthy piece, about 15 minutes, on Elon and how he terrorized and exploited twitter workers. Had two former twitter employees on who said they were subjected to his “tell me five things you did” emails. They said it was humiliating. One said that Elon didn’t know what software code was, that Elon didn’t know how code worked with computers, it was shocking how little Elon knows about tech and science. The piece ended with “federal employees are now being subjected to how twitter employees were made to feel: scared, confused, and at the mercy of the whim of Elon Musk.”

Then they did a story, about 10 minutes, where they extolled the virtues of one party government, specifically China. They discussed how China was reforming the real estate sector, making it work better for all people and better for business, and how China is Trump proofing itself against tariffs. They said “and because China is a one party government, it makes it easy and efficient to get needed action and reform into place quickly. The NPC (National People’s Congress) is a very efficient government body when it comes to legislation.”
