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 my wake-up call on NPR was after 9-11 and then the lead up to the Iraq war. They, as were most media outlets, were completely complicit in basically supporting war. No tough questions. I’ll admit to still listening to NPR, but the majority is for programs other than their basic news shows.
