The Corporation for Public Broadcasting agreed Monday to fulfill a $36 million, multi-year contract with NPR that it had yanked after pressure from the Trump White House.
The arrangement resolves litigation filed by NPR accusing the corporation of illegally yielding to Trump’s demands that the network be financially punished for its news coverage.
I don’t have any specific examples saved or anything, but as someone who listened to NPR on a regular basis for years, there were tons of times since 2016 where the coverage absolutely leaned right, or where you can tell that they were softening certain things so as to not appear liberal.
Ah that’s a while back. Makes me wonder when they started getting that accusation of being liberal and what kind of coverage that was. Bush era?
No, it was after Obama and during Trump when it really ramped up noticeably. And I know I’m not the only one because I’ve seen other people saying the same thing.
But I guess they were getting the accusation before that… They just didn’t seem to care until Trump.
