NPR bears great responsibility for pushing the US toward autocracy.

NPR has been unable to accurately convey, without bothsidesism, the dangers we face.

The effect is that NPR listeners are falsely reassured—they don't learn about how dangerous the moment is, how extreme conservatives have become. Because NPR doesn't state that clearly.

The NYT/WaPo complaint is not substantiated by this morning's front pages.

Huckabee only mentioned in one opinion column, no news story. (NYT), and in one "analysis" small-headline down the page (WaPo). Biden's speech was top story, with multiple news story links.

Real shame, IMHO, is that MTG got more coverage by shouting insults than SHS got by writing and delivering a policy speech.
