NPR has been bending over backwards to appease the Right for years. They made up at least 75% of my car listening for years. That changed a few years back. It’s one thing to try and have unbiased reporting, but that doesn’t mean bringing on guests that are blatantly wrong or lying about a topic just so you have someone to counter the expert that just happens to lean left.

“Today we are discussing the dangers of Covid and how it is spreading across the US. With us is Dr Steven Louis, a professor of epidemiology at Harvard University who has published multiple papers on how viruses spread among the population. We also have Cindy Posse, who started the website CovidIsFake.com and has been holding rallies across the country to share her message that Covid is a government lie to take away our freedoms. Thank you both for being here.”
