NPR tells the far left narrative. The true believers of that narrative, like Hamas apologist far left internet troll Little Bobbie, confuse that narrative with "the truth" just like Biden does. It was Biden who said "we support truth over facts". Speaking of what whack jobs believe "the truth" to be, I wonder if Little Bobbie is one of those "9/11 truthers"?

NPR tells the truth. Which is not an attack on anyone. It just is. That’s the point of journalism.

Maybe Woodward, but Bernstein made a short living for years on one or more of the Fake News outlets getting Russia, Russia, Russia wrong, so NO, Carl Bernstein is no journalist.

JS,Cutting and pasting attacks on the other side is not journalism.
Stan, the only thing true in your post is that “you never heard of her”.

Big Bob: I researched Terry Gross since she has never broken a real story (as far as I can tell), and, accordingly, I had no idea who she was. Terry Gross is just a Talk Show host doing softball interviews on pablum issue on a low rated show. Actually, after greater research, she claims a paycheck by being pathetic.

If you can show me show me any time she has made a difference, I will re-examine. Otherwise nothing here, try again.

JS, the same could be said of you and the right.

Real journalism until recently was about telling both sides of a story, not advocating for one side. Then many journalistic institutions embraced what they called "advocacy journalism" which was all about promoting one side, and that is rampant in American media today, and NPR is the worst of the worst in that regard.

The left regards "truth" as anything consistent with their narrative, whether it is factually true or not. Hannity like to play a clip of Biden saying "we support truth over facts." They regard anything not consistent with their narrative as "misinformation, disinformation, or malinformation". The last one by their own definition is information that is factually true, just inconvenient for the government.

There has been some of this bias in journalism in America for a long time. One remembers the quote from Mark Twain that "those who do not read newspapers are uninformed, but those who read them are misinformed".

Much, but not all, of the British media, especially the print media, does a much better job of presenting both sides of an issue, which is why I like reading the British newspapers online. Their coverage, even of American news, is more complete than most of our own media.

Journalism is about sides. It's about getting at the truth. NPR does it about as good as anyone.

That’s says way more about you than NPR.

HR, NPR stands for journalistic integrity. By any measure.
