I’ve been experimenting with listening to NPR news during school routine, with the kids in the car. It’s been decades since I regularly listened NPR delivery, and now I find the “view from nowhere” and overall hand-wringing over actual trauma and conflict to be kind of annoying.

It seems like the audience persona is an affluent-to-wealthy woman in a beachfront estate in La Jolla, sipping coffee at the kitchen counter, listening to NPR as she gazes out to the Pacific Ocean.

Am I wrong?
