I used to listen daily, and now after my radicalization by CSPAM every time I tune in I either end up screaming at my radio because it's some centrist horseshit political discussion utterly ignoring or misrepresenting the left, or it's their pointless self-absorbed arts and entertainment programming

I've been listening to a lot more classical lately (KING FM in the Seattle area) and it owns and it's a much better use of my commute

I'm [30 second long name] and today, we report on the adoption of 3G internet and the rise of meme culture in Cuba. One of the memes they've latched on to is related to their current food crisis, which is due to the... problems currently happening in Venezuela, but let's not get too deep into this one because, uh... anyway memes lol am I right?

[I tuned in for the first time in months yesterday and this was the story and I laughed out loud at this part, "Cuba's got a food crisis but uhhh let's not discuss it except to blame Venezuela and quickly move on"]

e. and this is Kai Ryssdal, today on Marketplace: Is homeless death... good for local economies? Meet the bipartisan group out of Detroit... whose recent findings might just surprise you.

Ross Perot just died, so I'm obligated to inform you that Jill Stein and Ralph Nader's only purpose is to steal votes.

This is NPR.

lmao yep

I have been dipping back into NPR (KUOW in Seattle area) because I wanted to recharge for this thread, and yesterday literally every time I tuned in the story was about Ross Perot, or their usual fluff pieces on tech / local entertainment stuff. Good thing absolutely nothing else newsworthy is going on in this country right now!

Oh and also, today one of the shows was talking to someone who had toured one of the concentration camps at the border and apparently it's not so bad! They only hold the kids in empty bleak detention cells for up to 72 hours now! we did it everyone, america is the good guys again

(they practically had this tone talking about it lmao)

like the country is literally in dire, oh-gently caress crisis right now, we are detaining and killing children at our border, but god drat NPR just has to keep up it's 100:1 balance of fluff piece horseshit to actually covering what is happening in the country

Today on All Things Considered, Joe Biden's eye didn't explode in a torrent of blood during last night's debate - could this signal a comeback for the former VP, after online fringe socialists hacked polls to improve Bernie's numbers?
