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.

@protecttruth @shoq I remember as a kid that PBS never had ads. Now it has nothing but ads. I can't tell the difference between npr ads and superb owl ads in anything but quality. Message is identical.
