Yeap… I can barely listen to npr anymore. Their interviewing process is basically just a platform for fascist to make wild claims without any sort of actual pushback. At most at the end of the segment the host will make a mild rebuttal about one aspect of their interview. But most of the time it’s just “well that’s all the time we have”.

There’s no pushback or fact checking, or even giving equal time to an opposing view. They should be hammering every inaccurate claim made by these assholes. If there isn’t enough time in your programming to do so, then you shouldn’t have these liars on your show to begin with.

Journalism is dead, and it’s because the whole field is a walled garden where the only people who can afford to get their foot in the door or take the unpaid internships are nepo babies and trust fund kids, and those people don’t have backbones.
