I still like NPR & PBS- though they bend over too far protecting the right's feelings to appear neutral that they are starting to contribute to false news.
For example:
Head-line on Carl Paladino's racist statements that he would like to see for 2017:
Carl Paladino
DEVELOPER, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, POLITICAL ACTIVIST
1. Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford. He dies before his trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to Valerie Jarret, who died weeks prior, after being convicted of sedition and treason, when a Jihady cell mate mistook her for being a nice person and decapitated her.
2. Michelle Obama. I’d like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla.
As ALTNET calls the NPR headline-
"Covering a matter like this seems like a no-brainer. Yet a number of media outlets are calling Paladino's comments "controversial." Really? Controversial? Don't controversies have two sides? What exactly is the argument in favor of a public official engaging in hate speech?
In the Thursday evening radiocast of WNYC, a local affiliate of NPR, a segment on the anti-Paladino protest was introduced using this phrase: "protesters demanding Paladino step down for what they say are racist comments."
Really? What "they say"? And just who are the people who say these comments are not racist, exactly?
False balance has run totally amok and will not serve us well in the coming Trump days."
