From the left: NPR’s Self-Own
At his TK News Substack, Matt Taibbi chuckles at NPR’s “unintentionally funny” chiding of Ben Shapiro and his Daily Wire for “only covering specific stories that bolster the conservative agenda” and focusing on “polarizing” pieces “about race and sexuality.” After all, “NPR has not run a piece critical of Democrats since Christ was a boy,” and its “monomaniacal focus on ‘race and sexuality issues’ has become an industry in-joke.” NPR “in the last year has committed itself to a sliver of a sliver of a sliver of the most moralizing, tendentious, humor-deprived, jargon-obsessed segment of American society” to the point even “politically progressive people” are becoming fed up. “NPR sucks and is unlistenable, so people are going elsewhere. People like Shapiro are running their strategy in reverse and making fortunes doing it.”
