He's not even the dude on 'the price is right' guessing 1 dollar too high -he's the dude who still guessed very wrong but hemmed and hawed about his answer, so he could say "I KNEW IT!" afterwards

related to that: before 2016, i thought NPR was bland and inoffensive enough with their liberalism that i could listen to them with no real complaints. i still like the local NYC politics show but other than that, it's as sensationalist and airheaded as any other lib outlet

But I also know nagging doubts had plagued me for years before. The thing I really noticed from 2014-2016 was how much everyone at NPR was huffing eachother's farts, when a topic or guest that wasn't related to some huge mainstream news event would be on the circuit of every show.

I still have no idea what her actual views on anything are, outside foreign policy where she loves any and all possible air campaigns. all Biden's bombs have been him loudly saying his extremely dumb opinions. her entire campaign was avoiding saying hers. always great politics. people love to vote for TBD

Coolness Averted posted:it went from "I'm skipping a few really dumb shows like marketplace," to realizing almost all of it was garbage. Science Friday is at least still cool, and half of Fresh Air's interviews are interesting, even if incredibly focused on liberal sensibilities and tastes. The only thing I listen to NPR for now is Bird Note because a show about whatever songbirds are out and about is the only thing on NPR that isn't overrun with Nice Polite Republicans now.
