I stopped listening to them back when they brought an insurance executive on to talk about how great health insurance is at “providing healthcare”, but they just need more money.
They’re nearly as bad as NYT when it comes to pretending to be the left, but only platforming the center and right.
My friend, this is unfortunately the reality of all “left” press of any high volume.
We have the Guardian in the UK which is regarded as the lefty paper by many people here, but if you look at the modern editorial slant, particularly around political coverage and you’ll find it’s very much a centrist paper and occasionally a bit centre-right. They get the odd left-winger in for opinion pieces from time to time to keep up the charade, but you can tell if the LibDems had a chance in hell of being elected, the paper would drop all support for Labour in a heartbeat.
Actual left wing press at any large scale is not permitted to exist by the billionaire classes. If one gets too big, it’ll be acquired and the slant will shift before long. Class consciousness is bad for business
NPR will probably respond to this by hiring 50 republicans and still get defunded
Didn’t Nice Polite Republicans already do that?

But they have a lesbian and a brown person talking on the microphone, they’re so lefty look at them!
Ah yes, and then have a 2 part series on how the Dems lost by pandering to the left, and how those values in society are long gone.
