    Bullshit. NPR put themselves in this situation and lost conservative listeners because they no longer cared to report news that the Right would care about. And that, starts at the top from people who want to push a certain narrative. I listen to a ton of radio news stations on my Sirius XM every day (I drive a lot for work) and they constantly attacked the Right, ONLY have liberal guests on, and ONLY reported news from a liberal position. And this has been going on for years. Every single political news that came out of NPR was how the Left was great, and the Right was killing America. It’s been the same liberal, leftist bullshit for years now. THAT’S why they started losing conservatives.

        Reality also has a ton of issues that are a direct result of liberalism/left-wing policies too…issues that most news outlets don’t like to report on, which is why NPR is in this situation.

          When someone complains about a news organization having a left wing bias, it’s important to remind them that objective reporting will always look like a left wing bias

      I remember when GOP wasn’t anti-science.

      Hard to have a conversation with a guest when one side has a PhDs and research papers and another side has a graph from a offbeat website and is “just asking questions”.
