I wouldn’t read the comments. The MAGAs and trolls are swarming. They won’t be happy until NPR is repeating whatever nonsense Fox News and One America are shoveling out. God help us all.

I am actually concerned that NPR, rather than adhering to objectivity, is simply becoming a blue version of Fox News and OAN. You're either objective, or you're partisan. NPR is choosing to be partisan, which means they can't be objective (just like those right wing media outlets). The problem is that, since their audience are partisan, and partisans think their side is objective, they'll never get the feedback required to course-correct. This is why you must smear critics who seek objectivity as simply being partisans of the other side. That's not necessarily true though.
I disagree. Fundamentally, conservatives don’t want journalism. They want their “news” to reflect what they already believe to be true. There isn’t any real push by conservatives for better journalism at NPR. It’s just “playing the refs”, trying to steer coverage in a favorable way for their political goals.
I agree with you. Partisans want partisan news, because they think that's what's objective. There's a reason why they only watch Fox and OAN. But this cuts both ways. LIberals were eager to believe that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 election, even though there was no evidence to support that belief. Even after the Mueller report!
Look, I'm an independent. I don't care much for either party. But I want fewer partisan news sources and more objective news sources. I'll still listen to NPR and watch Fox News (am I the only person on earth that does both?) But I can't take what they say at face value, because their objectives are narrative building to bolster their political preferences, not straight reporting of neutral facts.
What lie did he tell? Because if you mention the 87 Democrats, you’ve proven you did not read his article. He never said everyone was a Democrat. Just that, out of everyone, there included 87 Dems and 0 Republicans.
There is an entire article above you to read that specifically explains his lies, and provides evidence about them being lies point by point.
Scroll up. Read it.
Also, at no point did uri present evidence that there were 0 republicans, only that he *found* 0 republicans, but the statement he made was that there were 0 republicans.
"When I suggested we had a diversity problem with a score of 87 Democrats and zero Republicans"-Uri
Sure don't read the comments, turn off the news that upsets you, and stay in your bubble. Do we even need journalism? You can be blissfully ignorant of the evil in the world, even when it is perpetrated by your servants in government.

Are you really concerned about that?
What’s your evidence showing NPR is being partisan (let alone choosing to be so)?
Best not to read views one disagrees with! NPR has a serious problem, and it and its core audience prefer to remain in denial about it.
And that problem is what?
I mean, so far as i know, the only person working at NPR that i have absolute confirmation of them lying to public just quit.
That seems like a good thing. Doesn't it?

Way to take what he said out of context. The context is plenty clear that he wasn't claiming there were no Republicans, only that he didn't find any.
Your own honesty is what you need to focus on first. You have a lot of work to do if you really care about honesty at all.
my cute little troll is still following me, and still doesn't know how to read. :)

Yup. This post was a flystrip for delusional deplorables.
