I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust.

What does this have to do with the article?


The hollowing out of the readership by ideologically partisan staff is what led to publications becoming overly dependent on the subsidy of wealthy owners, rather than a wider pool of paid subscribers.


It is a bit ironic that an article criticizing NPR is hosted on TheFP. Especially considering its owner got promoted to the head of a major mainstream news network by one of the richest people in the world.


Then it's irony all the way down. Or just admitting that news takes money.


News can take money while also having a reputation. You won't catch me dead cross-referencing AP with Fox editorials or tabloid slop from The Sun.


Never thought of it this way before. Maybe, but are there papers that remained balanced without losing too many subscribers? Tech age has been overall tough for them.


Forgot to add that people more often like to read things they agree with, especially if we're talking about paying subscribers.


Article is NPR's


So a proud 2 time Trump voted says that NRP lost America's trust because they attacked Trump too many times to a new outlet founded by Bari Weiss? Then after resigning from NPR goes on to work for that same outlet?

Forgive me if I find his opinion and the article useless.


You don't seem to have refuted anything he has written.
