    Be careful with NPR they determined internally they have a problem with bias, but cannot come up with a solution.

    I’m aware that NPR does hold some left leaning biases, but I find it to be relatively minimal. They’re not my only source and I compare stories with other sources when I can.

    There's bias, and then there's a blatant disregard for the facts, AKA CNN, MSNBC and FOX. They outright lie without shame. They should be ashamed, but they are whores for the parties.

    NPR does lean left in some ways, but they are easily fact checked.

    I’ll grant a certain amount of hyperbole (maybe a lot) but NO dishonesty with MSNBC

    And there is a huge difference between hyperbole and outright dishonesty

    The counties affected are losing a lot of sales tax dollars; how will the state make up the loss of that money?

    LoL the totality of FL has had about 1/4th the deaths of NYC.

    NYC leads the nation in Covid 19 deaths AND has the nations highest unemployment.

    Homicide rate is up 250%.

    Yay Democrat leadership.

    Journalistic integrity is a rare thing. The mainstream media in this country today has no integrity. Did it begin with Judith Miller?

    Not likely.

    Alternative media is where integrity is usually found. Truth is the enemy of the state and the MSM.

    Alternative media tends to deal in alternative facts which is why they so regularly get savaged by any organization capable of even basic fact checking.
    If you get your news there you’d be better of not seeking news of any kind. Uninformed is far less dangerous than misinformed.

    Snowden is what every conscientious citizen should be.

    Of course conscientious citizens are quite rare.

    In this country today, truth is suppressed strongly by MSM.

    This is most obvious when MSM including social media censor expressions of truth and dissent.

    Yet you defend such censorship and rationalize it as necessary inside your head.

    It's not rocket science.

    I’ve seen what you consider to be sources of truth.
    They peddle easily proven lies.

    It seems YOU absorb the many lies and omissions of the mainstream media, a group of known liars with an obvious agenda.

    Were the lessons of the Pentagon Papers lost on you? Were you even born when they came out?

    Were you born when Curveball and Colin Powell deceived regarding WMD? Anthony Fauci is the covid equivalent of Curveball.

    I was in fact born prior to 1999. what does a deceptive government have to do with news media that reports facts as they are known?

    How do you rate the truthfulness of the Pizzagate conspiracy that Ben Swann was pushing not too long ago?

    I try to step back and view the so-called Big Picture.

    I'm familiar with the purposes of Operation Mockingbird, and likely you are not.

    As Bernays noted a century ago, we are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.

    The Mainstream Media are the ones who broke those stories and revealed those instances of government cover and corruption.

    Dr. Fauci is an infectious disease expert and one of the foremost in his field. Please listen to him.
