That’s how we might see it, but most of middle America, for lack of a better
term, still sees NPR as left-leaning, even though it has moved so far right, so
, that large swath of voters views NPR and anything they have to say, with
suspicion. If you’re asking what is my point, I don’t have one. This is nothing
but an observation. Every time I hear someone say this, that NPR is so leftist,
I am amazed and incredulous, but that’s how far right the populace has moved.

Whatever Mid America or Trump thinks, NPR now gets a lot of funding from
corporations such as those in the fossil fuel industry, and they are very
mainstream, very much like the New York Times and the Democratic Party.
They're the voice of the liberal establishment or the liberal elites. They
are protective of Israel, no matter what, and they will bash Putin and
Assad, the government position in every situation regardless of the facts.

Yes, they talked about the Greens back then, too.but was NPR considered mass
media back then? Are they considered mass media now? By us, yes. By Trump
supporters and middle America, not so much...

with
Jill Stein too.

NPR is actually talking about Jill Stein and the Green
party. This
certainly didn't happen in 2012 and in 2008, no one knew
there was a
Green Party.
Perhaps this is what Bernie accomplished. His campaign put
the Green
Party on the map.
