this is an absolutely devastating piece from this whistleblower. anyone who is reading this thread but hasnt actually gone and read the article needs to. i know that it's not surprising by any means, but this really lays out almost verbatim what we have been saying for years and being told we were crazy and paranoid. and this guy has been with NPR for 25 years, so he's not just some johnny come lately.

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.

That’s how the espn gal explained it. Got worse when Trump got elected and she was always trying to say why alienate people. People weren’t coming to espn for the politics. Micheal Jordan said republicans buy sneakers too.

And it hasn’t stopped yet. Even with the daily Biden gaffes, and they are there every single day. Colbert, Kimmel, SNL, etc, Trump was still the main target. Was no longer Pres and you have the a guy in office with non stop material and nothing….

Tells you everything you need to know. The media is on the side of evil…

I really enjoyed this article. It sums up why I stopped listening to political-themed NPR podcasts recently.

Another liberal who has had an epiphany that traditional “liberalism” has been consumed and replaced by something much more insidious and not so keen on the protection and perpetuation of free-thought.

These come-clean type acknowledgments seem to be happening with increasing frequency in the past couple of years.

This goes beyond bias. It is advocacy. And being knowingly dishonest. Not surprising you support it. Unless it’s Tucker, amirite?!? Hypocrite.

Advocating for your biased point of view as a journalist is different than lying for ratings, clown. Just stop pearl clutching and stop worshiping idiots. Let’s all any of us ask.

clearly you didn’t read the OP. Nobody mentioned worshipping anyone. What a weak straw man This thread is about journalists acting on behalf of political parties. You’re ok with some doing it, and not others. Because you aren’t very bright.

I don’t give a frick if this thread was about worshiping anything. But that’s what this boils down to with you cultists. Worshiping idiots. And my point still stands. Journalists have acted on behalf of politicians since the dawn of journalism Including whatever nonsense you pay attention to. Why the pearl clutching when NPR does it? Your Trump cuckery is getting the best of you.

There it is again. Calm down snowflake. This thread is about journalists.

Do yourself a favor and actually read the OP. You are coming off as ignorant and emotional. So basically, like a far left wacko.
