In the first five sentences of this article, in a mere three paragraphs, two NPR reporters manage to write out at least five major lies. It’s a pretty remarkable feat, even for National Public Radio.
The lies told about the January 6th Capitol protest have resulted in horrible conditions of imprisonment and human rights abuses for dozens of participants, so the real-world consequence for these lies are very real and used to keep people imprisoned and oppressed. [1]
NPR has lost its way, enough to be renamed National Propaganda Radio.
