How is that Joe Biden impeachment going? Any updates? Trump isn't the person that was sentenced today. It was someone lying for him. But I forgot for a moment that isn't the type of thing you pay attention to.

There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.

It seems like it may make more sense for him to talk to himself.

Oh, wait...

Yet here you are commenting. rofl

Some people never get the message. If you mean it's about what's going on in this country and often leads in the same direction you would be correct.

So the "element of truth" is that taxpayer-funded media where all editors have the same political ideology is acceptable? Nobody should bat an eyelash and question that?

I think to answer that question one would have to know more. Are those with a different ideology being refused employment over their political views? Of those that departed, were any of them fired or let go for inappropriate reasons? Often times people simply don't want to be around or work with people whose ideology differs from their own. Especially if they have other choices.

It seems to me you're posing a very open ended question which thus far has no context with which to draw a conclusion. The political divide and the disdain between the two parties has been growing for quite some time. I think the numbers in the source reflect that. There may be more to it than that but thus far I haven't seen anything indicated which reflects that.

It may be as simple as an Eveism. "I'm not going to work with these libtards!"

He did read the article. So far his comments are:

It's an opinion piece
Facts don't matter, because "Fox"
TRUMP!
Interest is trivial
TRUMP!
We should only want to talk about what he wants to

And the best... we really need to be concerned with finding out if Republicans are being refused employment -- not the fact that taxpayer funded media only reports the views of half of America. rofl

If they are not being refused employment or discriminated against due to their politics, they aren't there because they don't want to be there. Is that too simple of a concept for you to grasp?

You sure are having a bad day. Reality has escaped you during the entire thing.

Where did I say "interest is trivial"? Here's a clue for you, I didn't. When all you have is lies to try and prop up your posts it's a bad day for you. I've been talking about a lot of what you've wanted to. Sadly that hasn't worked out well for you either.

Now you can bring out your goal posts Fate because I pointed out how you ignore things of substance while obsessing over things that are in comparison very trivial.

Yeah but that's nothing compared to Trump. Plus we don't know if some republicans used to work there or how many decided to quit or how many may be left handed. Plus there is only a 0.01% increase in fake news but it's not really fake news because only Fox is questioning it. Plus, you see, #racism, #pedoswithsexdolls, #trumpagain

Publicly funded media representing ONE SIDE of all stories and talking points.


I wonder what caused a respected media outlet like NPR to suddenly experience a mass exodus of Republicans from editorial positions..?

The popularity of "FACT CHECK" played a huge role in the loss of RW editorial positions.

Normally I try to avoid the exchanges between you and Pit. Anyway, a reasonable question is "why is that".

If you go back in time, I suspect there would have been more Republicans as editors. Probably not so much today in a hyper-partisan world where differences of opinion has morphed into differences in ideology. All of a sudden facts matter.

Since partisanship became more vogue, editors have a professional responsibility to accuracy. Also as a matter of fact, NPR has always had a liberal slant, as stated in the article. I don't listen to it much, but Ad Fontus is probably the best indicator of bias.

https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/

Smerconish and Potus (Sirius/XM) is pretty neutral.

It used to be we could blame both parties for the nature of political discourse. Now we have facts versus Kellyanne's "Alternative Facts".

I think the data suggests that Democrats have remained about the same in terms of moderate/progressive mix, but the Republicans have fallen off the deep end, and the party as a whole has moved to the far right, and others have just become independents.

So there is an explanation, the gist is that R's have lost their marbles, and self sorted themselves out of a job at NPR, and found work at locations that are more ideological in nature.

Look no further than Ronna Romney McDaniel and NBC... yeah Trumps RNC operative who was knee deep in the the shenanigans, and the natives were not having any part of her act.

I miss The McLaughlin Group. I miss Mark Russell.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. In Colorado, republicans have become irrelevant as the democrats now have a super majority. Instead of trying to change their ways, Republicans doubled down on stupid. They won't even acknowledge there is a problem. Meanwhile, Democrats are now free to do what they want without consequence. They know they won't get voted out because that would mean people would vote republican which isn't going to happen.

Never said you did. I was referring to today’s version of the GOP and those glorious Alternative Facts, Massive Voter Fraud Pizzagate and any number of other lies promoted by them.

It does point out quite correctly about how you actually refuse to address the most important things going on in our society while obsessing about things much less important. It's a fixation some of you have. I'm sorry it #triggers you when someone point that out. Actually I'm not sorry.

All of what I said about them not being forced out of their job also seems correct according to what has been posted so far. Of course as per usual you'll ignore that. Typical.

Just because you say "maybe they were forced out of their jobs", with absolutely NO PROOF, doesn't mean I owe you proof that they weren't.

Maybe talking to more adults would help you grow up faster. You seem to have adopted the GOP version of reality. Make claims with zero substance and state you don't need to show any evidence they're true or real. #alternativereality. That's how we've gotten to where we are now.

And this points out. For the 560,349th time. That you think you are the Post Police.

And "someone" never points that out. Pit@DawgTalkers, with his infinite strawman narratives and Troll of All Trolls status does. The dude talking about how my posts are so "trivial" but is 5 minutes from starting a new thread to declare that Trump stepped on a bug in a blue state.

Pointing out the obvious doesn't make anyone the post police. It seems you think you are in charge of hiking on the board. But somebody had to fill the void left by Vers I suppose.

I know you think it's terrible someone interrupted your unsubstantiated narrative. The strawman narrative began when some of you made the unsubstantiated accusation that there was some sort of Democratic takeover of NPR. Thus far you have zero evidence that ever happened and act like that's someone elses fault.

In recent years I’ve struggled to answer that question. Concerned by the lack of viewpoint diversity, I looked at voter registration for our newsroom. In D.C., where NPR is headquartered and many of us live, I found 87 registered Democrats working in editorial positions and zero Republicans. None.

So on May 3, 2021, I presented the findings at an all-hands editorial staff meeting. When I suggested we had a diversity problem with a score of 87 Democrats and zero Republicans, the response wasn’t hostile. It was worse. It was met with profound indifference.
I got a few messages from surprised, curious colleagues. But the messages were of the “oh wow, that’s weird” variety, as if the lopsided tally was a random anomaly rather than a critical failure of our diversity North Star.

In a follow-up email exchange, a top NPR news executive told me that she had been “skewered” for bringing up diversity of thought when she arrived at NPR. So, she said, “I want to be careful how we discuss this publicly.”

For years, I have been persistent. When I believe our coverage has gone off the rails, I have written regular emails to top news leaders, sometimes even having one-on-one sessions with them. On March 10, 2022, I wrote to a top news executive about the numerous times we described the controversial education bill in Florida as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill when it didn’t even use the word gay. I pushed to set the record straight, and wrote another time to ask why we keep using that word that many Hispanics hate—Latinx. On March 31, 2022, I was invited to a managers’ meeting to present my observations.

Throughout these exchanges, no one has ever trashed me. That’s not the NPR way. People are polite. But nothing changes. So I’ve become a visible wrong-thinker at a place I love. It’s uncomfortable, sometimes heartbreaking.

Even so, out of frustration, on November 6, 2022, I wrote to the captain of ship North Star—CEO John Lansing—about the lack of viewpoint diversity and asked if we could have a conversation about it. I got no response, so I followed up four days later. He said he would appreciate hearing my perspective and copied his assistant to set up a meeting. On December 15, the morning of the meeting, Lansing’s assistant wrote back to cancel our conversation because he was under the weather. She said he was looking forward to chatting and a new meeting invitation would be sent. But it never came.

And get this... Pit and Bulldog pulled out their crystal balls and decided that the Republicans worked themselves out of editor jobs there... and now I'm obligated to prove them wrong! 🤣

How does any of that show anyone was forced to leave their jobs? It doesn't. How does it show anyone was refused a job based on their politics? It doesn't. Keep flailing your arms in the air. Proving us wrong isn't your issue. Proving yourself right is. It's you accusations with you having no supporting facts. The man who is actually saying these things has worked for NPR for 25 years. How is that possible if everyone of his political leanings have been "forced out of their jobs"?
