    The left is just starting to realize that NPR is aimed only at smug white liberals

    Black host Audie Cornish, who has been there a long time, has resigned from NPR. They've lost a lot of hosts lately from "marginalized" groups.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/audie...b061afe3ac0547


    Now everyone is freaking out, because the left is just starting to realize that NPR is basically Smug White Educated Liberal Radio, and their programming isn't at all directed to the people of color within the party (or even working-class white liberals). Now there's a bunch of liberal panic that NPR itself is racist (lol).

    Watching the left attack itself is always so amusing.

    Yes, well paid radio hosts who happen to be nonwhite or gay aren't marginalized.

    On that note, would you say Lebron James is marginalized?

    Newsflash: all major media is aimed at whites pretty much regardless of political orientation.

    I certainly enjoy listening to conservative media that is aimed at blacks.

    LOL reading anything from HuffPost and taking at face value anything they are saying is true or honest.

    All these 'marginalized' people are just leaving NPR for better jobs. It is that simple. If you aren't white, have some modicum of talent, and are wiling to play the racial grievance game, it is very easy to find corporations run by rich, smug white liberals who will throw money at you mainly to show off their progressive bonafides and make themselves feel better.

    Anybody who has ever listened to NPR for more than 10 minutes can guess it’s target audience. I personally find NPR nauseating, but enjoy the PBS News Hour. It’s only natural. Who do you think donates to public broadcasting?

    I guess it was the snarky way he put quotes around marginalized....like it didn't really happen or wasn't really true except he just didn't have the balls to straight up say it? Either way Canadian DJ's don't have the intellectual high ground to call anyone else a moron

    Chaps is right though. The hosts described as marginalized on NPR aren't really marginalized, hence the quotes.

    It's all about white liberals ticking boxes to make themselves feel good. If Smug White Liberal Radio has a few hosts of color, you can feel like less of an elitist asshole while listening to it in your $100k electric car while driving home to your gated neighborhood.

    I am amazed NPR is still on the radio. People don't remember, but Juan Williams former NPR host and a huge liberal (now on Fox) made a comment he gets nervous when a Muslin with a turbin walks on a plane. Even Juan who is black was fired instantly. And this was BEFORE the woke movement. The far left is going to implode the Democratic Party, just today Kamala Harris compared January 6th to 9-11, that shows you just how far off the rails they have gone. November 2022 can't get here quick enough, by all estimates there are only 50 safe Democratic House seats so Republicans will control the legislative agenda for perhaps 20 years with Gerrymandering. You could see a 70 seat advantage for the repubs, thanks Brandon!

    I listen to NPR sometimes in the car some of the interviews and stories people tell are good.

    No real clue what color anyone is.

    ref: https://letter.ly/cable-news-viewership-statistics/

    Interestingly, both Fox News and MSNBC (which are generally speaking polar opposites in terms of coverage slant) are both nearly equally predominantly white:

    11. The channel [Fox News] is predominantly watched by white, middle-class Americans.

    Fox News is a Republican-leaning network, so it’s no surprise that white Americans account for 74% of its total viewership. But the most watched news channel in America also attracts viewers of other ethnicities — 10% of its audience is Black, 9% Hispanic, and 7% from other groups.

    As for the economic status, 44% of the network’s viewers self-describe as middle-class. Another 25% say they belong to the working class, and 19% identify as upper-middle-class citizens. Only 8% of Fox News viewers say they live below the poverty line, while 3% are “well to do.”
    24. MSNBC’s demographics are similar to Fox News.

    Although they operate on opposite ends of the political spectrum, MSNBC and Fox News attract similar audiences. Like its right-wing competitor, most of MSNBC’s viewers (44%) self-identify as middle-class citizens. They are predominantly white (70%), with 19% of Black and 8% of Hispanic viewers. Furthermore, their age structure is almost the same — 31% aged 50–64, 25% in the 18–34 group, 19% in the 35–49 bracket, and 24% aged 65 and over.
    The primary difference appears to be education:

    12. 29% of the network’s [Fox New's] viewers have at least a college degree.
    (Public Opinion Strategies)

    According to cable news television demographics, Fox News viewers aren’t as “uneducated” as some widely accepted narratives portray them. While 35% of the network’s viewers only have a high school education or less, another 35% have attended some college or are currently attending it. Furthermore, 17% have a university degree, and 12% have a postgraduate degree.
    25. The network has a better-educated audience than its competitors.

    Out of the three major news-oriented cable networks’ demographics, MSNBC’s is the most educated. Research shows that 45% of MSNBC viewers have at least a college degree, putting it ahead of both CNN and Fox News. As for the rest of the viewership, 27% have a high school education or less, while 28% have attended some college or are still attending it.
    Because MSNBC demographics tend to skew younger, probably there are more people amongst their viewership that are still in college as well.

    Disclaimer: I don't watch either one of them.

    Another interesting datapoint is that BBC News is the most trusted source of news in the USA, which certainly says something about the state of our media:

    5. BBC News is the most trusted news channel in the US.

    Despite being UK-based and having limited availability, BBC News is the most trusted news channel in the US. Reuters Institute’s research reveals that 56% of Americans find the network trustworthy, putting it right behind local TV news broadcasts (60%) in this respect.

    The US isn’t an isolated case, though — BBC News ranks among the most reliable news brands in countries worldwide. According to some estimates, it is also the most watched news channel in the world. BBC World News, the network’s international news channel, reaches more than 114 million weekly viewers and is currently available via cable in more than 200 countries. The corporation also co-owns BBC America in the US, but the channel doesn’t air news content.
    Disclaimer: I do listen to BBC World daily, primarily because I like to hear global news, not just sensationalized news here.

    You're going to laugh, but I actually like the UK Daily Mail for US news coverage, despite its sometimes tabloidish slant.

    They give zero shits and get down the to details of the story, and aren't afraid to post them. When I read a US story where details are curiously missing, I go to the Daily Mail and usually find the rest of it.

    The coverage does slant right somewhat, but not anywhere to the degree of Fox News (or the left equivalent of the other US mainstream media).
