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 summary was 4:40, looks like it ran twice (first as part of the news summary), and doesn't mention SHS. There's a 2:53 story about Kevin McCarthy, but that also doesn't mention SHS and is more focused on how he's perceived in Kern County. https://www.npr.org/2023/02/08/1155335666/bidens-state-of-the-union-address-focused-on-middle-and-working-class-voters
