4. NPR is getting to be like a Republican promo machine

We listen in the morning at various times while we eat breakfast.
For the past several months we never fail to hear at least one story of Republicans campaigning etc.
Even when they have their news stories it seems that they always have some expert from a Republican think tank like AEI or Manhattan Project or others.

The news stories on Democrats have been sparse in our experience.
It has gotten such that I find myself reaching over to turn off the radio quite frequently rather than listen.
NPR is the only thing that is even close to listenable on terrestrial radio anymore and it is just barely listenable.
