I would agree with Mr. Berliner 100%.
I can remember when NPR was fairly neutral and presented both sides pretty evenly. I seldom pay attention to NPR anymore.

I have been beating this drum for years. I listen to NPR while driving every single weekday. Their "news" coverage is super selectively bias. If it is a negative story about Trump you can bet your ass you will hear about it all day. I was listening to them this morning and shaking my head at the bias. The article perfectly describes the MSM. If they get it wrong, just ignore you were wrong and move on. Their coverage on Covid was laughable. Basically for those that do not listen, it was like hearing Bimini read the news everyday. If this was my only source of news, I would look like this.  |

The same happens when all one watches is Newsmax or reads only Britebart. We all need to be reminded that whatever Team we may generally adhere to it is a fact that there will be times where one's own Team will lie to you......we all need to know when that happens. |

NPR journalists may selectively choose what they report on (unbiased) but that is not the same as Fox news entertainment or brietbart type groups who don't employ journalists, but media people, who lie and distort. NPR is still journalism. www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/sciadv.aay9344There is no liberal media bias in which news stories political journalists choose to cover Hans J. G. Hassell orcid.org/0000-0002-6679-4849 , John B. Holbein orcid.org/0000-0001-5099-3395 , and Matthew R. Miles orcid.org/0000-0002-8165-0851Authors Info & Affiliations Science Advances 1 Apr 2020 Vol 6, Issue 14 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aay9344 Abstract Is the media biased against conservatives? Although a dominant majority of journalists identify as liberals/Democrats and many Americans and public officials frequently decry supposedly high and increasing levels of media bias, little compelling evidence exists as to (i) the ideological or partisan leanings of the many journalists who fail to answer surveys and/or identify as independents and (ii) whether journalists’ political leanings bleed into the choice of which stories to cover that Americans ultimately consume. Using a unique combination of a large-scale survey of political journalists, data from journalists’ Twitter networks, election returns, a large-scale correspondence experiment, and a conjoint survey experiment, we show definitively that the media exhibits no bias against conservatives (or liberals for that matter) in what news that they choose to cover. This shows that journalists’ individual ideological leanings have unexpectedly little effect on the vitally important, but, up to this point, unexplored, early stage of political news generation. www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/sciadv.aay9344 |

Time to completely defund all state funded propaganda... including NPR.

It only addresses which stories they run or are either silent about. |

If Cyclist doesn't think NPR is biased that means NPR is progressive liberal media.
The article says it all.. 87 of the 87 editors are all registered democrats.
Not one of the 87 editors was republican.
The author of the article is 1 of the 87 liberal progressive editors.
The essence of biased media.

80+ Democrats and 0 Republicans on staff
That’s fair and balanced reporting for sure.

The greedy fucks are the right wingers, they only care about their pocket book. |

If you are not wise enough to realize all media is bias……Take what you will from as many sources as possible. Mix it up in the blender and make up your own mind. Just got done watching newsmax, then switched to MSNBC , then TYT. Morning edition is great for catching up on world news. They have corespondents all over the world. Earthquake in Turkey, they got someone there. Mass kidnapping in Nigeria, they got someone there.
