No one with an open mind listens to NPR anymore. They preaching to their mask-wearing, 9th booster-getting choir. The people taking advice from NPR will never support RFKj anyway. And those that support him won’t listen to NPR. In other words, I don’t care what they say.

Everyone of these hit pieces on RFK Jr is ghost written by Big Pharma. There is a weekly one in the WSJ using the same technique of false narratives presented as facts slanderers and out right lies.

One sided reporting, especially biased towards corporate captured pharmaceutical issues is dangerous to the health policies in a democracy. Let's continue to get the full story out.

People can call it anything they wish. Just not "journalism."

Unfortunately, most of us old enough to recognize what journalism actually is, are slowly dying away. We have multiple generations raised on "it must be so" or "I read it on the internet."

Our progressive blue states, that are so inclined to model liberal principles, may also look toward liberal countries, Sweden, Finland, Norway, England, Scotland; for their policy on no mandates, trusting parents and the public to make their own informed choice decision,.

NPR like the failed Dem libtards, is a propaganda arm for simpletons.

Defund and flush... They are another tentacle on a giant squid whose purpose is to spread fake news.

It seems that alot of Orwell's 1984 novel is coming to pass, inch by miserable inch. I read the novel in 2016 , for the first time in 50 years, and I don't know why I would choose to buy that book as I rarely purchase and read books, least of all that dark novel. But something compelled me to do that. As I read it, I kept thinking: 'Surely this couldn't happen, it's just a dystopic figment of Orwell's mind and imagination.' It was a sobering experience and I could only get through about half the book, as it was so outlandish in it's concepts. And depressing as hell.

Then 2020 came. And big brother. And Bill Gates. Now this.

Keep strong folks..we're going to need it.

I was previously a huge supporter and appreciator of NPR...but I agree with everything that Louise Conte wrote in this blog! Sad but true.

THANKS for outing NPR, esp. for that crowd of the prior Americana tale-telling Keillor who was accused of not being so prairie bound-- for having been mean & inappropriate (touchy-feely or mere 'sexualizing innuendos'?) with women staffers (unless one takes the murderous Mormons of the white-washed country temples). That crowd needs to wake up, shake of NPR's 'down-homey' we for the People jargon (read, propaganda), and just get it already that, this tax-payer funded platform is mostly now funded by corPIRATE interests (little e.g. BIG PHARMA*); it is now a schill for that-- a shell of its former high calling for the real people, REALLY!

P.S. And, I am especially ashamed of sell-out, Amy Goodman, who character-assasinated herself by hanging on there for the drug-addiction paycheck BIG PHARMA jabbed into NPR-- convincing herself she would continue her campaign of good (now more like goodie-2$hoes campaigning)‼️

NPR "non-commercial listener supported public radio" died when Non-Commercial radio changed to "Support comes from "The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, The Carnagie Foundation and Archer Midland Daniels Supermarket to the World".

It's just nasty.

STILL Total Denial of covid "vaccines" harms from the "public health" entity dr mike osterholm

from entity osterholm "when Mr Kennedy says these "vaccines" are a much greater risk than benefit there is no scientific data at all to support that. There is incredible benefit ... it is amazing how good

these vaccines are at protecting kids, how good they are at protecting pregnant women, how good they are a protecting the older population from serious illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths"

This is their "public health" lie and they are sticking to it with their "no scientific data" claim

September 6, 2025 on "minnesota public radio" at 57:07 into the recorded broadcast here https://www.mprnews.org/episode/2025/09/05/mike-osterholm-reflects-on-lessons-from-the-pandemic-in-the-big-one

note: Outpatient treatments for all stages of covid were rapidly developed by Real Doctors Treating Real People sick with covid in many countries. These outpatient treatments rapidly improved to the point that most all hospitalization and death from covid and long covid was preventable by the end of April 2020, if not before, with low cost and available generic drugs. All this pandemic-times Real Gold Standard Evidence from Real Doctors Treating Real People sick with covid was dismissed as "no evidence" with the fiction that the only acceptable "evidence" was "evidence" from the big pharma randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, trial. i.e. "their" easily manipulated "gold standard" "evidence".

p.s. the historic Zelenko letter "March 23, 2020" "To all medical professionals around the world:"

"...the best way to circumvent what Kennedy is doing to the sacred CDC, which, the implication goes, is an institution beyond reproach."--"sacred" being the key problem (and yes, the First Amendment issue at the heart of this entire di$a$ter) because that is how young, frightened, women, especially when a child is involved, view this country's medical $cience $y$tem...only women have been taught to BELIEVE it is just a system, always and only focusing on doing what is best and good, for each and every individual, no less, not on making as much money as possible, no matter who It harm$.

It all began in January of 1973, when the SCOTUS, grasping desperately at an authority they absolutely Did Not Have, handed the country's medical system over to frightened young women, frightened about a situation with a very young child, such that the women, again, BELIEVED they were forever afterward entitled to order the system to do a woman's bidding--whatever a woman WANTED in the moment--in all manner of life and death situations, to quell HER fear. It did not matter whether what the woman wanted was legitimately possible...or not...because the SCOTUS, apparently believed all the fanta$ie$ of $cience, too (besides being terrified, themselves, of having an adult, public discussion about human sexuality...and where legitimate, real, Love fits into that picture...) Even if whatever it was a woman wanted, was not possible, e.g. she wanted to remain "young and beautiful" with perfect breasts, forever, Big Pharma and Big corporate Medicine were happy to oblige, with the assistance of Hollywood as their main advertising agency, to "pretend" to do what frightened, or now also angry (frequently the immune system's response to fear) and politically-radicalized women "wanted." After all, SCOTUS had told the whole nation, and the world, it WAS possible, and "Just," that women have the authority to demand and order ...a woman's idea of a protective 'army'... to do their fighting and killing for them...without firing a shot...from a gun, at least...

As the rest of the article more than proves, get the legal system, that BELIEVE$ Money can restore damaged Life, OUT of "solving" Medical matters, where they have no training, and should never have any authority--just as in1973--...and we might, start, to fix all the problem$.

This post is written as if this is something new with NPR. ALL of their stuff is like this - including the wording of questions, how they are posed, the subjective comments woven into their ‘questions’, and even the tone of voice by talk show hosts. As well, of course, as their choice of guests. It’s all so blatant. I listened to public radio for 40 years…until a number of years ago, when I noticed something had changed. About the time when the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation became a major donor. I don’t think public radio/TV should get one cent from we taxpayers. They can survive - or not - all on their own, as far as I’m concerned. I now trult despise them.
