I very distinctly remember the last time i listened to NPR in 2016 was when they did a segment on health care plan differences between hillary and bernie; lied through their teeth about how bernies plan was bad etc etc. Haven't listened to NPR since.
That's like me in 2017. I stopped watching PBS after I finally became a leftist. I can't believe I was so stupid and actually watched their "left-right" opinion show or any similar garbage from any media outlet. The range of opinion always goes from what they call the "left" - the right-leaning democrat all the way to the "right" - the reasonable republican.
The PBS show is always named after the hosts so it had a different name back then. The "left" host died of old age. I'm not even making that up. I stopped listening to the show when they were debating healthcare. The "left" host was a well-meaning idiot who was not smart enough to understand he was still a ghoul and David Brooks was the "right" working hard to pretend he had a soul and wasn't a ghoul.
The dead host's replacement is even worse. Behold...
Capehart is the "left" yet it's PBS and not the Onion. Brooks is 63. And I have to wonder if he will be the "right" host for another couple decades before he retires or he too dies of old age.
oh yeah i remember that brooks and 'other guy' show on npr
Out of curiosity - I googled the guy. I couldn't even remember his name - haha. He retired in 2020 at 83. And he died two years later.
I wonder if in those 32 years of "analysis" he ever wrote or spoke a single sentence worthy of his audience's deep contemplation.
