How NPR Lost Americas Trust (thefp.com)

As an NPR listener this garbage. NPR has covered almost everything he says they didn't.

He just didn't like how they covered them.

Even his stats aren't that great. Washington DC is 75% registered democrats and only 5% registered republicans.

Which is odd because NPR is very corporate friendly.


Do you think corporations are right wing now? That is definitely not my perspective…especially with all the DEI and ESG focus. Seems to me that corporate politics are definitely moving leftward.


No, I think corporations are part of a corpo class that is most effective when there is a Congress that cannot legislate the needs of the working/middle class. They will never advocate for company break ups, increase in taxes, or investing in their workforce.

It's the same with elites, they "care" about social issues but the second you want to tax them suddenly it's too much and too far.

That has nothing to do with right/left politics and everything to do with class warfare.


I know this might sound crazy but DEI and ESG are revenue driven.


I know this might sound crazy but leftist orgs are revenue driven too.
