Why can't they be more open minded and honest like we are at NPR?

It's all a matter of perspective. Israel had the right to retaliate from the hamas' attack. However in my opinion they are now in the wrong and killing way too many innocent people in retaliation. If you are only for israel you'll only see things one way, period. I do not support Israel in everything they do and this is one of those times.

Hmmm

"I left NPR in the early fall of 2016, but when I came back to work on Morning Edition about a year later, I saw NO trace of the anti-Trump editorial machine that Uri references. On the contrary, people were at pains to find a way to cover Trump’s voters and his administration fairly. We went full-bore on “diner guy in a trucker hat” coverage and adopted the “alt-right” label to describe people who could accurately be called racists. The network had a reflexive need to stay on good terms with people in power, and journalists who had contacts within the administration were encouraged to pursue those bookings."

So the NPR editor who worked there for 25 years, was suspended for making his opinion known, doesn't know what he's talking about. Got it.

Let's just say he has his detractors who have a history there as well. As a regular NPR listener who has grown disgusted with their subservience to the Insurrectionist Party, I agree with her.

He wasn't suspended for making his opinion known.

But that's not really the topic here, is it?
