NPR and BBC have been spewing Globalist Soros/Rothchild propaganda since Obama's first term.

Ill admit I've been a listener of NPR for a while - but what has been going on at this network the past year is nothing but shameful - virtually every Terri gross interview somehow evolves into a Russian collusion accusation piece against trump - I've turned it on and almost every time the narrative comes up before i count to twenty . interviews anymore are a joke as a person will be interviewed for something and the interviewing reporter will take everything the person says and try to summarize it into some sort of negative trump ending line - honestly its disgusting how regularly it is done . I honestly can't see how its possible this is taxpayer funded in any way . it is nothing short of negative propaganda and should be cut off immediately - put the money towards mental health or veterans - anything would be better spent
I hated how quickly they threw garrison keillor under the bus with zero evidence. I liked science friday too. 10 years ago npr had a lot more quality content. It was still terribly left leaning but at least they made an effort to generate some content. It has been a quick and constant decline. Now the news is low grade manipulative drivel, maybe they are so far in their echo chamber that they lost the incentive to even try to be persuasive or informative.

Absolutely ...I listen to a local NPR sponsored radio stations because of the great progressive music..I have to shut it off as soon as their leftist liberal "news" and commentary programs start..damn shame they can't keep their politics to themselves..it makes me sick that my tax dollars fund their horses**t..

I also enjoy Tiny Desk Concerts, Wait! Wait! (though it took a pretty big shift in the last year), and reruns of Car Talk.
So pretty much I like the programming that is basically what podcasts are doing without public funding.
