I heard him speaking with Pres Obama and I really wanted Inskeep to acknowledge that there was someone who could speak in full sentences. Local station is wanting money.

... accurate news sources we have.

I don't want news with a liberal or conservative bias ... I want news to be as accurate as possible; the programming on NPR is a close as we get.

Not listening and not donating is your choice.

they have been right wing tools. I wouldn't trust them as a news source, either.

I don't need that shit on NPR.

I'm never donating again until they get biased commentators of their "news" programs.

They were strongly biased in favor of Clinton, both in their reporting and in their interviewing. Coloring and misstating facts that I was personally up to speed on. Not even close to neutral. Some here may feel that made it good journalism, I did not. I had to turn it off. And I used to be a donor.

I started listening again, though not as frequently, during the GE, and while they threw some light on the truth of tRump, there were far too many segments of unchallenged statements by his people. And not enough explication of Clinton's policy advantages over him.

To me, it feels like outgrowing a taste for childhood candies...
