Here in the East Coast Deep Blue Zone, NPR is gospel. It is the constant companion of every citizen, ubiquitious as CNN, maybe more so, and constantly massaging the narrative. It is not only a US centric narrative builder on foreign policy, but also fully aligned with the DNC axis domestically. NPR produces easily digestable, one dimensional world views for its listeners, and wraps them in crinkly pseudo-intellectual wrapping. It has always been blatant perception management first and foremost, with a side helping of curated News-Lite.
I wonder if the new Twitter designation is meant to start a fevered discussion which permits a conclusion where ALL the 'State Media' labels can be junked across the board. Seems like Elonesque Troll Judo in the making. Oh, also, I don't think he cares that NPR reports he's pimping his DOGE bags... that's not news to anyone but Blue Zone Boomers who still-dont-quite-get crypto. Fantastic reporting as always. Timely and concise, devastating research. Thanks again for your hard work.

I remember when NPR had an expose of industry with management covertly recorded conspiring against their customers. It was a real eye opener. But that was long ago -- 1980s? --before they got corporate funding.
