WTF is wrong with Robin Young on public radio's Here and Now?

She was pushing Trump's visit to a mourning state rep on her show. What a clueless jerk she is. I don't listen to NPR except in the car. That was a good reminder why.

IOW, they seem to obsess on giving RW views airtime ... even when ridiculously non-factual.

Koch's are a major funder, IIRC.

I stopped listening because I don't drive anymore, but for many years prior to this I typically had to mute the radio fifty percent of the time because I refuse to waste the little free mental processing capacity I possess listening to the one percent's daily word salad. I think the Republican attacks over the years ultimately pushed them to give the corporate shills and liars even more airtime.

Life is too short to spend time listening to Liz Cheney...ever...about anything.

If you have the ability, support local public radio...it's the real deal. I'm a longtime supporter of Pacifica Radio as well as Democracy Now!

But then many are searching for the perfect and pure which largely does not exist. NPR does not need to be a shill for the Left as a requirement for my listening to it.

We are just the opposite side of the same coin as the other tribe who believes we are evil just as we do them.
