I stopped listening to NPR several years ago. I just couldn't tolerate the slant that made the news coverage misleading if not just outright false. Also, it was also very obvious as to its intention by the news that it didn't cover. I was an ardent follower of NPR about 10 years ago. As the years went by, I continued to listen but increasingly held my nose to protect against the putrid odor of bias, snide slanted remarks, rank partisanship, and outright (what are you going to do about it,) “in my face” dishonesty. Ira Berliner, the senior Editor of the Business Desk at NPR describes what I have long observed about the declining influence of corporate media, including, but not limited to, the NYT, Wahington Post, CNN, MSNBC AND ESPN .Because most of those former pillars of journalistic integrity had PREVIOUSLY earned their reputations for decade upon decade due to fearless dedication to the truth, meticulous vetting of their sources, and following the story wherever it led, regardless of who or what was favored or discredited. Back in the day they were committed to shedding light on the darkest issues of the day and on the blackguards, regardless of political personality or philosophy. Their reason for being was to serve the public as witnesses to truth.
