Jeez, even NPR this morning had the line...

[TreasonousBastard]

"Trump's election lie..."

So when's the rest of the country going to figure it out?

[Walleye]

1. Liz Cheney set them free with her profile in courage speech. It was courageous

[Indykatie]

5. Liz Cheney Has Done an Awesome Job on the Jan 6 Committee

I don't agree with any of her stances on the issues but I take my hat off to her. Her presence has paid many dividends.

[Rebl2]

2. They say

it all the time on MSNBC. When are the 3 networks going to call it what it is-Trump’s big lie about the election.

[Magoo48]

3. They can't say it until their corporate overlords ok it.

[Rebl2]

4. That's what

I have thought for years now.

[KS Toronado]

9. And the corporate overlords want people to vote repug

Wealthy oligarchs want their tax breaks & loopholes.

[NBachers]

12. I had to slam off NPR in less than one minute on my car radio this morning.

“ The Georgia election could be an opportunity for the Republicans!” All breathless and excited

[Magoo48]

14. Yup.

[DENVERPOPS]

10. When the earth

becomes so hot that it cannot support human life?????????

[Ursus Rex]

6. Do you think people regard NPR as a neutral or important source?

Many left-leaning people - including me - regard it as a only barely not commercial mainstream radio, and most on the right regard it the same way they do every other outlet except Fox (and maybe Twitter with Trump). In other words, they're preaching to the choir. I totally support them saying it of course, but the rest of the country is actively ignoring NPR, as far as I can tell.

[peppertree]

7. Either way, if Repugs get back in '24 it'll be shut down faster than you can say Morning Edition

Or worse - replaced with fascist carnival barkers.

[Celerity]

8. You left out Newsmax, OANN, and all RW hate radio, RW hate social media and RW websites/newspapers

most on the right regard it the same way they do every other outlet except Fox (and maybe Twitter with Trump)

[AnnetteChaffee]

11. There will always be

a certain percentage of sheep who will not accept the truth even if there were tapes, audio, video, signed confessions, witnesses - it just wouldn't matter. It's like there is some kind of GOP induced brain damage that causes certain folks to cling to lies rather than accept that they were 100% wrong about something they believed in for over 5 years in some cases.

They will warp the information to conform with their perception...

[jalan48]

13. What is called for by the mainstream media is stronger language. Dangerous lie at a minimum in

this case. We're rapidly heading into a Fascist/authoritarian state and political timidity by politicians and the media won't stop it.

[FailureToCommunicate]

15. If you drive across this country, huge swathes are without NPR stations of any sort.

Country music, religious talk shows and right-wing shock jocks rule the airwaves.

[TreasonousBastard]

16. I used to have a job that had me driving across the Northeast, and with the mountains here, FM...

stations lasted for 15 minutes in places like Pennsylvania-- once you found a decent one. AM was just one preacher after another.

I did a happy dance when satellite radio became available.

[electric_blue68]

18. Oh, I remember when I was visiting a friend Georgia ('75) - Athens, and Decatur...

and he flipped on the radio. At one point the music station played an insulting don't about the Japanese.

I was like "Whaaa...?"

[sl8]

17. NPR's been calling it a big lie for more than a year. n/t

[hydrolastic]

19. Idk what to think about NPR they had a poor choice of interview last week and I quit

Listening to them I prolly will go back I always do.

[summer_in_TX]

20. NPR is committed to hearing from people of diverse

perspectives. But they have been very clear, repeatedly, that Trump and his supporters have lied that the election was stolen. And they've interrupted guests who try to repeat the lie to state the truth.

They've also had a number of reporting pieces on disinformation.

I expect media to interview people of differing points of view. I expect to be able to understand a variety of perspectives from my news media. But they need to contradict lies about the election.
