"I am forever grateful my parents put out those diversity is our strength flags. I will never complain again."
"it sucks because the only place you can commiserate about how great npr WAS and how bad it is NOW is in this subreddit because all the libs i know who loved it before were just as whipped up into a frenzy in 2016 and don't sympathize with how i think it sucks now - and conservatives who hate it neve"
"If any of you have NPR parents you have no right to complain. You're parents aren't supposed to be 'based' or even know what 'anti woke' means. I've yet to hear of any kid who was beat up by his or her NPR parents growing up. If you had NPR parents they probably sent you to school with healthy snack"
"There were a couple NPR stories at the time about the 'challenges' public health officials were having with 'outreach' to Latino communities, and they would brush over just how unhinged the conspiracies were, or try to 'contextualize' it by bringing up the rightful suspicions that minorities have wh"
"On the podcast Hidden Brain, there was an episode called You 2.0: The Gift of Other People. A couple is expecting a baby and through testing they find out the kid has Down's syndrome."
"I'm not even really a fan, but I'm a nerd and I like that they talk about campaign strategy and don't have NPR voices despite being ultra-libs."
"I grew up in an evangelical homeschool bubble so every parent I knew growing up was very conservative. The thought of growing up with an NPR listening, Democrat voting parent is totally foreign to me."
"It's like a disease. Their brains would explode if they couldn't ask an expert to tell someone off for being happy"
"I'm just wondering. It's so weird, it's as if they purposefully weed out anyone who is easy on the eyes. Even the voices on the radio are not exactly soft and sultry."
"1st generation Asians with NPR voices who talk about childhood trauma / can barely connect with their parents by constantly alienating them"
"he also had only three things that were allowed to be played in the kitchen if he was there: an Adele CD, an R Kelly greatest hits CD, or NPR."
"finally she told me about a segment she heard on NPR about how rightwing conspiracy theories (similar to Q anon) are incredibly widespread, lurking just below the surface, and motivating dangerous anti-government sentiment"
"So did the libs at npr and nytimes just skirt past the fact that the CIA was training 15-18 year old afghans for assassination hit teams?"
"I throw on NPR when I'm doing my chores because it drowns out the voices in my head. But lately, it's just poor people crying. Turn on NPR anytime, it's either a poor person crying, a poor person being asked about their miserable existence by a reporter with a hyphenated name, or a reporter reportin"
"I know his writing isn't groundbreaking but I've seen him read a few times because he's a great public reader and he always makes me think of when Dems were more appealing because he's one of the few people approved by the NPR and NY Mag crowd that hasn't totally lost the thread."
"link the full story here"
"Soy NPR article if you want to read more: https://www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1140998674/hertz-false-accusation-stealing-cars-settlement"
"I'm not talking about hippies. There used to be a sizeable minority of NPR types who didn't own a television. When I was a kid in the 00s most of my parents' friends fell into this camp."
"Thank God someone is talking about the important issues"
"To me NPR is one of the last vestiges of the 'cultured' liberal paradigm that I remember growing up with in the Bush years - which I quite frankly prefer over the 'intersectional revolutionary' infographic bullshit you see among online leftist communities."
"And all the self-serious reporters and NPR pundit nerds were discussing the odds of survival after taking the Fat One straight in the Pacific. Sadly Trump did not appear in the dream so I do not know what his take would have been on it."
"Was bored while driving and flipped on NPR. Always a mistake but what can I say? I'm a glutton for punishment. I listened for about 10 minutes and heard two segments: **No. 1: Is Your Dog Racist**, featuring some woman who's afraid she made her dog racist by acting weird around black people. Lots of"
"He also listens to NPR all the time in the car. NPR sucks and all the voices annoy me. The fake meek kinda gay voice. So annoying. I watch NHK World as my NPR when I get home after a hard day of actual labor, unlike him who has a work from home email job."
"I've been watching the Olympics and fuck the commentators or whatever are awful... Why does America have to be like this now. Even NPR wasn't that lame back then. I want to get off the neoliberal capitalist consumer culture rollercoaster hellhole omfg"
"Putin cannot be seen as losing to Ukraine. That would be a terrible thing for him - to be seen as losing to someone like Ukrainians whom he looks like, by all indications, looks like he despises. In that case - and I swear I would not even contemplate something like that eight days ago, but now it d"
"The, I guess public interest stories is what they'd be called? The one's that are like 'I'm a gay Latinx hairdresser and here is my story about growing up in an immigrant household'. They are either boring or unhinged, with no in-between... Love love love the Sunday morning gardening segment... I do"
"For example, NPR, the Atlantic, Pop Sci, Reuters, and CNN all eliminated their comment sections around 2016-2018. All it did was drive traffic to social media where most people who comment might only read the headline instead of the article. At the very least, the NPR comment section back in the day"
"If you listen to NPR you know what I mean."
"The combination of the sun flickering through the crappy car window and NPR gave me a headache. Pre Obama haze hangs over my below the mason Dixon line memory."
"No, I will not check multiple subreddits and NPR and Reuters and Bloomberg and what's trending on ~~twitter~~ 'X' and the invariably racist reels my friend sent me every single day just to keep up with the cultural conversation. I'm tired"
"The liberal media (NPR, The Washington Post, MSNBC, The New Yorker) make certain of this."
"She's pretty much a run-of-the-mill NPR liberal who doesn't follow the news that much. Based on my actions and behavior it's clear that she assumes I'm in agreement with her on most things, but it's eating me up inside wondering what would happen if she finds out what I truly believe."
"Biden's pandering, NPR choosing this as their headline out of everything in a hour-long speech, or Kamala doing the all-white suffragette cosplay that they do at every one of these things"
"now nothing gives me more contented happiness than doing NYtimes puzzles, planning out sending my kids to private schools, listening to NPR while driving through the dreary late-October wooded hills of NIMBY suburbs."
"This article on NPR reminds me of what Glenn Greenwald was saying in a recent episode about the liberal democratic establishment and how utterly disconnected it is from regular Americans."
