    Jeet Heer Retweeted NPR Public Editor

    If you read closely, it turns out the "minor" misstep and "small holes" was that in story about workers, no workers were interviewed, only bosses and a government official. So NPR's position is that erasure of the working class is only a "minor" flaw.https://twitter.com/NPRpubliceditor/status/1255498587489910785 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    NPR Public EditorVerified account @NPRpubliceditor
    This was a tough analysis. The missteps by the NPR reporter were minor. But critics used those small holes in the story to assign nefarious motives to NPR, the reporter and most inapporpriately, to the source who shared her story. https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2020/04/29/845262373/interview-with-a-coffee-shop-owner-upset-liberals-heres-what-really-happened …

        Is it me or has NPR been sliding to the right over the last few years?

        If "last few years" means "since 1979," the answer is yes.

        NPR's position in this example is that doing bad journalism to favor specific & identifiable interests is good, and doing good journalism is biased and hence "liberal".

        NPR is trash at this point. Understand it. Embrace it. Espouse it.
