They are the only communistic parts of America's mainstream media.

They are also its most copious liars, largely by omission.

They are hardly communistic! Communists have a sense of honor, NPR a has none. They are 110% capitalist approved and supported.

You clearly have never read The Communist Manifesto unless you failed to understand.

110% is impossible.

You clearly are blinded by some weird abject and irrational fear of the word "communist". I can't think of any country on earth right now that actually fits the definition of communist.

It is said that most of the Chinese Politburo are billionaires. I have no way of verifying this tidbit, of course, but it's pretty obvious that there is a vigorous exercise of capitalism going on there.

Capitalism is collapsed by any government regulation.

A communist government is mostly government regulation.

Most Congresscritters are millionaires.

If you have the names of the members of the Chinese Politboro, properly the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party, you can look up their net worths on the Internet.

Yes a true communist state would have no billionaires but China has countless.

Well, people can always throw words around heedlessly. Frequently, words supposedly denoting political, philosophical, or moral ideas often wind up being understood or promoted as the opposite of the original definition.
