For those Upset at NPR... Listen to WNYC beause...

... start with listening to award winning (incld Peabody) journalist and host Brian Lehrer from 10A - Noon.

Why?

Brain concentrates on polititical-social issues. Earlier in drumph's residency Brian used to use softer language until some time in mid '18 or early '19 started using "liar", at some point later "racist", probably "sextist", too, probably also acknowledging the other anti vunerable groups as needed as well.

You can start with his debate review right from today!

Orher hosts, and programs have also been serious about drump's likes, viciousness, greed etc

Try - I think you'll like. 🙂 👍

There can still be decent local news programming, depending on where you are.

Programs created by WNYC include

The Brian Lehrer Show
On The Media
This American Life
The New Yorker Radio Hour
The United States of Anxiety
Trump, Inc

plus more podcasts 👍

So being able to listen to straight on broadcast radio in the NYC area to this station is a blessing !!! 🙂

Not the local station. My take on NPR is that it does a good job overall and while nothing is perfect they get news across to me without the nonsense that accompanies to many other forms of media, in particular cable infotainment.
