what has NPR reported that isn't factual? NPR claimed the Hunter Biden laptop story and been "discredited" by US intelligence. As always, when a liberal or conservative news outlet tell lies and get caught, the "mistake" they made just happened to make their opponents look bad. I missed your post about the percentage and number of people killed and tortured by Russia in Chechnya, as reported by Al Jazeera. Remember, that was just after you laughed hysterically at the projected numbers I posted for Ukraine, which were much, much lower? Could you post your response again, please?

But you’re the one who wouldn’t report such a fact when it should be duly noted. Not my fault you don’t understand how real life works sometimes. Report what fact? That 40% isn't a majority? Does that really need to be reported? Just stop while you're behind. You lost. Stop trying to bury this one where no one will notice. Any time an elected candidate wins with a minority total of the vote, it’s news worthy. If it wasn’t you and news media like CNN wouldn’t prattle on incessantly about Trump losing the popular vote.

Why is that so hard for you to grasp? Perhaps it's because you have far less than a modicum of intelligence.

Again, the point being that the results of an election, and what they mean in totality is what should be reported. It's not up to the reporter to assume what people do and don't know, it's their responsibility to report all of the facts and not just the ones they think people should know or you end up having a Katie Couric/ RBG situation.

WTF are you talking about?

since shows like the car repair guys ... stopped airing (probably because those guys died of old age). Ray is still alive, and both of those "car repair" guys were MIT grads. Besides owning a car repair shop, they also were teachers. One was a HS science teacher and the other was a college professor. They originally started their shop as a sort of "makerspace" where they would have professional equipment for DIY car repair people to rent out and use, but that was unprofitable and they converted it to a professional car repair shop.

WTF are you talking about? Ha silly rabbit, you've spent so much time arguing for the sake of arguing that you've lost sight of the point. It's not enough for a reporter to report "facts" because so called "facts" can be extrapolated in differing ways. A reporter should also give the complete picture connected to the "facts". I used the analogy of Canadian elections and kept the numbers simple for you to understand. It's not enough to merely say Justin Trudeau won the election (which is a fact), a good reporter also mentions that he won with roughly 33% of the popular vote. This gives better clarity as to what Trudeau's victory really means. Hope that helps.

So now you just make sh!t up in some feeble attempt to make your point? You accuse NPR of leaning left yet all you come up with is some “candidate A” nonsense. Ya just can’t hang.

My 'accusations' of NPR "leaning left" came from what was said by a liberal who worked/ works there. (You don't like it, disprove what he said!) You started babbling about "facts" and I merely showed you that so called "facts" can be interpreted in different ways, depending on bias. My "Candidate A nonsense" was steeped in realism and based on those precious facts you seem to love. Face it, you embarrassed yourself on this one and had no real counterpoint, but you got a ton of attention today, hope you savored it. Later moody.

How much has each news organization spent time on the 2016 presidential results, where the winner got 46.09% of the vote? And the loser got 48.16%? Neither a majority. And the “loser” who should have no policies implemented by the winner? And voter turnout was 60%, so another 40% did not even vote. If news organizations did not report on the lack of a majority winning, they are biased? Or really 190 million or so people not voting for the “winner”?

I mostly have stopped listening to NPR, not because they've gotten too liberal, but because they continue to treat presidential politics like a horse race and they continue to do "both sides" stories when one side is clearly leading us to a crisis of freedom and democracy.
A small percentage of their funding comes from taxpayers. Most comes from listener support, but a lot comes from major underwriters who often seem to have the clout to slightly skew their coverage.
There's a reason why many in the media business now refer to them as National Petroleum Radio.

said by a liberal who worked/ works there. Where does Berliner say he's a liberal? From the outside it's certainly not how I would describe someone doing the right wing grift tour.
