Not Particularly Relevant.
NPR is specifically for people who like to believe they are intelligent but are far from it.
That said, it is a different perspective from the normal sensationalist Lefty mainstream news and the sensationalist Righty news.

I haven’t been able to listen to them for years. Too many Jooz.

Up till now I really looked forward to getting some fresh air.
Now, I’ll shelter-in-place, thank you very much.

I remember these nerds from college. Sat at the front row and always spoke with big unnecessary words to try and impress the liberal professor.

Like Rush. Like Hannity. Like Limbaugh. Like Alex Jones. Like Glen Beck. Like Michael Savage. Like Laura Ingraham.
Like Erick Erickson. Like Mark Levin. Like Hugh Hewitt. Like Ben Shapiro. Blah, blah, blah...

Please elaborate because you are obviously assuming something. I think for myself.

I enjoy listening to NPR, it’s quality programming but definitely has a bias. 95% percent of the time it’s ok, but damn those 5% of the times really really make my blood boil.

NPR is one of the few sources of information, in this country, that is not controlled by large, international corporations.

Go to their annual report and look at the list of corporate sponsors, but more of an issue is the millions of dollars they take from agenda driven organizations such as those concerned with climate change.

I'm not sure which is worse, the smugness of NPR or the smugness of people who have to announce to the world that they listen to NPR.

I don’t have to assume anything. You told everyone exactly how you feel. Most of the posters here agree with your feelings that NPR is trash.

I'd like to slap each one in turn
As someone who has listened to NPR a decent amount:
