NPR Takes Lead From NYT, Promises Even Better Coverage Going To One (1) Environmental Reporter

3. How much control do Kochs et al have over PBS/NPR?

Did they ask listeners whether they want less on environment? Evidently not. It's typically American to ignore huge issues facing the nation & world until it's far too late, choosing instead to 'entertain' ourselves with petty 'divide & conquer' distractions tossed out by conservative extremists. Meanwhile, Democrats mostly cower, fiddle and track to the center - exactly the OPPOSITE of what they should be doing. While abortion/LGBT rights/drug war etc are important issues, they keep us fighting amongst ourselves and blind the country and the world to the most substantially destructive moral issues which face us all - which are SO enormous and would be SO much trouble for us to actually work toward fixing. So we don't bother. We'll be the death of ourselves due to lack of courage, immoral narcissism and greed, and chronic ignorance fed by aformentioned con extremists and the media which they control (all of it), of which NPR is part. If there is a Devil in this world, they are it. That, and human inability (myself included) to keep our minds focused on the bigger picture and to so easily be distracted.

Bad move on the part of NPR. But - I gave up on them long ago.
