It's so bad now that I can't trust them to report objectively.
Wanna solve your money problems? Spin up a conservative arm and let it rip. With the same journalistic standards of course.
NPR and the News Hour, it is hard to take them seriously anymore, and I run a household of people who feel strongly about the environment, human rights and worker rights. Some of us are women, LGBTQ and we have friends who are people of color.
