It's making a lot of references to the war on terror. Here's my bad translation:
Op thought npr wasn't progressive enough for OP when NPR didn't call the waterboarding, that happened at Gitmo, torture. OP does concede that NPR is a better news source than others, especially when they are commuting and want to hear news on the radio.
But then it says "it's several planets far from progressieve" which is, well, not true.
Edit: and by progressive, I don't mean to label them as lefty loons. Just balanced.
I mean, agree to disagree. I could pull any number of text examples but as to radio broadcasts I gave up even on Marketplace when it was just me yelling at Kai Ryssdal to shut up shut up shut up!
It’s not even center, but center-right. Sometimes just plain right. This is in part due to GOP infiltration of Public Broadcasting in the Gee Dubz era. See Republican Chairman Exerts Pressure on PBS, Alleging Biases from 2005 for some flava.
There, they just straight-up said “make the head of CFPB the chair of the RNC”. That was almost 20 years ago.
I don't understand your comment.
