NPR defends its journalism after senior editor says it has lost the public's trust

"An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don't have an audience that reflects America," writes Uri Berliner.

2 cents- A top-notch national public media should strive to make everyone uncomfortable from time to time.

She claims to be a christian, a religious person, yet she cheated on her husband twice with two different men. Apparently, she has no clue what her bible says about adultery.

If she had her way we'd all be wearing mandatory flippers.

This one...right here...Arizona wouldn't have happened if not for her vote. Roe vs wade wouldnt have been given to the states. None of us are safe. Republicans will make this the law of the land, federally.

I could spit nails right now.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Slapped with Brutal Nickname by GOP Colleague

Apr. 09, 2024

Former Republican Congressman Ken Buck has apparently had enough of one-time colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene who he’s now dubbed “Moscow Marjorie.”

The Arizona Supreme Court Just Upended Trump’s Gambit On Abortion

On Monday, Trump declined to support a national abortion ban, seeking to neutralize the political issue. A day later, Arizona’s ban gave it new life.

It took little more than a day for Donald Trump’s political gambit on abortion to come undone.

Trump notes from a psychologist:

29 years ago this April 19th the same cohort of white supremacists, militia, and other anti-government minded people who the presumptive Republican presidential candidate openly courts for support blew up the Murrah federal building in the Oklahoma City bombing. Eventually 168 people, including children in the building’s daycare, were confirmed dead. There are not fine people on both sides.
