Libraries and their related associations may want to take note of the responses to this NPR tweet asking for donations and consider embracing neutrality again.

I was reading that last night, and, holy crap, I thought only I felt that NPR had become unlistenable. Following the link led me to Peter Boghassian's 'All Things Reconsidered,' which looks really interesting... and apparently there's another one called 'Morning Sedition.'
Oh I have heard a lot of people complain about NPR. Even my friends who have yet to be "red-pilled" on some of this stuff have started griping about it.
Also, the majority of the public is unaware of the "neutrality" debate going on in libraries, so there is still time to reverse course before libraries start losing support.
When I was an undergraduate in journalism in the late 1990s, Dr. Alfred Delahaye encouraged us to listen to NPR as an example of what he called "60-plus" journalism. It gave you the 60-second rundown PLUS the context, and it was fair. One of the last times I saw him, he said that NPR had become "semi-tragic."
I was a devoted NPR listener and supporter for many years. It has become unsufferable. I listen to audio books when I drive now. NPR is like a friend who lost track of the universe.

Same. All podcasts for me, now.
I used to listen to NPR when I was a naive and idealistic art student and now it is nails on a chalkboard

I went to Tucson Art Museum this week. Wonderful collection, but some of the same old moralizing copypasta in the accompanying texts.
