Journalism fails miserably at explaining what is really happening to America

Will Bunch expresses what I've been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don't support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.

Conversely, I had to stop listening to NPR during donny's tenure, they got so one sided it was disgusting. I'm a Democrat but I don't need my news to hold my hand and tell me stories. Maybe it was extra bad becuase it's the Seattle NPR station, but regardless I've not returned since.

It's one thing to be Fox News and everybody knows what kind of bullshit you're up to, it's another to be a well of respected news station and try and pull the same kind of bs.

Give us one example of NPR saying something incorrect about Tronald

I don't know why you're baiting me with things that I didn't say

I had the opposite experience. I would listen to Mitch and others go spout blatant lies and receive absolutely no pushback from the hosts/journalists.
