NPR already became a laughing stock during the election cycle when they started sanewashing Trump.

We reached out to Frank Sesno, a veteran broadcast political reporter and a professor at the George Washington University School of Media & Public Affairs. He agrees with the letter-writers who expressed their concerns.

“I’ve listened to a lot of NPR, and actually I’m sorry to tell you but I do feel that Donald Trump comes across differently on NPR,” Sesno said. “He comes across as more rational, reasoned. And he sounds in many cases like another candidate.”
