Speaking of sheep:

Uri Berliner, a veteran at the public radio institution, says the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think.

Yup, Berliner is certainly the hero among MAGA and Twitter blue checks this week.

His core premise is NPR lost conservative listeners because its newsroom went woke ("…and not enough Hunter Biden laptop stories!"). It's backwards. As Fox radicalized and 'MSM' journalists were deemed enemy of the state, and conspiracy theories dominated right wing social media, they ditched outlets like NPR for those that, well, told them how to think.

I get the argument that NPR is partially funded via tax dollars: 'I'm paying for that and it's not giving my views equal time!'. And yes, NPR's views have always leaned liberal. The BBC has gotten that blowback for decades over there. And if that's someone's argument, fair. But it's beyond laughable when Fox News/Trump disciples point at someone else being "spoon fed" propaganda from sources that validate their opinions. I mean, come on, lol.
