NPR leans left, while they’re not super left, they’re not fully neutal. The point is, a lot of lies get used as truths to spread political propaganda, and it works.
I’ve seen the opposite lately, actually. They’ve been criticized historically (unfairly, it was just objective reporting) for leaning left, but they’ve since overcorrected and now lean center-right a lot of the time.
I know what the sites say… They’re pretty reliably in the center. I think the whole “reality has as liberal bias” thing made it seem like they leaned left when in reality, that’s just what the center actually looks like.
From my experience, since I’ve been paying attention, they’ve over-corrected in the other direction. Still mostly center, but they seem kind of scared to be completely objective when it makes the GOP look as bad as it actually is. They seem perfectly OK with the fascist element taking control (who will most likely either do away with all of their funding, or turn it into a state-backed propaganda mouthpiece), because they seem scared that calling people what they are will make them appear “left-leaning”.
Just my observations. Maybe keep it in mind going forward and see if you notice as well.
I’ll have to pay closer attention to that, it would be crazy if they did that though. As you said they’ve already been attacked by the GOP for funding.
NPR is a pretty neutral news source. Your comment on them seems a bit unhinged.

The fucking truth leans left. The fuck do you want? Right wing shit is divorced from reality.
The truth doesn’t have a political side.

News to me, those bias sites are all showing them as light left still, but I’m not saying you’re wrong.

Such as?
So you didn’t read the article I posted…at bare minimum do that instead of wasting my time.
I was wondering how long it’d take for the word “propaganda” to show up on Lemmy. 3 seconds flat this time, congratulations!
