NPR is a well-known acronym that stands for National Public Radio. The key term here is “public,” meaning that NPR receives public or taxpayer money for part of its financial support. NPR has been around for about a half century. We’re good, so far.
It is a commonly accepted fact that our nation is split down the middle in terms of politics, pretty darn close to 50-50. The last ten or so presidential elections have been really close. Theoretically, NPR, as a publicly supported entity, should be split in their coverage, or let’s say, even-handed. Their content should be equal, and their reporting should be from both or multiple perspectives, as in the name of their most popular show, “All things considered.” But they are not. Instead, they pick which stories to cover and how to present the argument, usually from one perspective.
