Tips to survive during this Weimar Republik era?
Also, tl;dr for the article:
We were partisan hacks with an agenda in our reporting and people noticed it
Cover the news objectively and fairly
you’re emotionally invested in a narrative
Lol. Something doesn't add up
@redpillschool It's almost as if the US government has been taken over by the CIA
Meh. I saw this on Reddit yesterday and made the following comment: ——————-
I’m not impressed, though. Notice that - even now - he refers to President Trump as “truth impaired” but refers to Adam Schiff as just Adam Schiff. We now KNOW that pretty much everything that came out of Schiff‘s mouth regarding DJT and Russian collusion was an outright, bald faced lie. A lot of people said so at the time, but NPR wasn’t interested in following those leads. Apparently when a story might harm a Democrat only SOME things are considered.
Where is the “truth impaired” modifier for Schiff?… or Fauci?… or the 51 people from three-letter agencies who lied about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop in order to dismiss the absolutely damning implications for Joe Biden on the eve of the election?
A despicable, kiddie-sniffing grifter who has taken bribes from some of the most corrupt nations on earth is currently occupying the Oval Office because NPR was too partisan to do its job. I expect that kind of nonsense from fake news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and The NY Times, but if NPR had played it straight it might well have prevented millions of people from going to the polls believing lies.

It’s easy to make mouth sounds of contrition after the damage is done… after it no longer matters. And even now the “mea culpa” is barely distinguishable from some police chief saying, “mistakes were made” after a SWAT team raided the wrong house and killed the occupants. He he pretends to not know that NPR has been completely in the bag for the left for decades… insisting that this is a recent phenomenon coincident to the rise of the “truth impaired” Donald Trump.

It’s frictionless—one story after another about instances of supposed racism, transphobia, signs of the climate apocalypse, Israel doing something bad, and the dire threat of Republican policies. It’s almost like an assembly line.
When one side decides that it's not just a difference of opinion or political theory, but instead one is correct and right while the other is simply wrong and evil..
This article is great..
Over the course of the pandemic, a number of investigative journalists made compelling, if not conclusive, cases for the lab leak. But at NPR, we weren’t about to swivel or even tiptoe away from the insistence with which we backed the natural origin story. We didn’t budge when the Energy Department—the federal agency with the most expertise about laboratories and biological research—concluded, albeit with low confidence, that a lab leak was the most likely explanation for the emergence of the virus.
Instead, we introduced our coverage of that development on February 28, 2023, by asserting confidently that “the scientific evidence overwhelmingly points to a natural origin for the virus.”
All that shit I've been saying about how every news org is coordinating in lying about major things such as COVID.. well here we are..
All this reflected a broader movement in the culture of people clustering together based on ideology or a characteristic of birth. If, as NPR’s internal website suggested, the groups were simply a “great way to meet like-minded colleagues” and “help new employees feel included,” it would have been one thing.
But the role and standing of affinity groups, including those outside NPR, were more than that. They became a priority for NPR’s union, SAG-AFTRA—an item in collective bargaining. The current contract, in a section on DEI, requires NPR management to “keep up to date with current language and style guidance from journalism affinity groups” and to inform employees if language differs from the diktats of those groups. In such a case, the dispute could go before the DEI Accountability Committee.
