Yes, I sent you an "opinion" article which commented on the NPR article, which was a news article. The point was that NPR's *news* article (in the sports section) tried to frame the issue of transgender athletes in support of trans athletes. This is what I have been saying - when news organizations try to spin *hard news* through a leftist lens, it's bias or propaganda. If NPR published an opinion article which advocated for leftist policy in sports, I may disagree with them, but at least I couldn't say that NPR was trying to dupe me. The biggest problem with media bias is the game of *pretend* - when activism/propaganda is masqueraded as hard news.
I did read the rest of your comment, so if you're referring to "ads", the fact that NPR doesn't run ads at all (to my knowledge) makes it much different from private media organizations.
In any case, I do agree that Fox News' coverage does lean toward the right. The large problem is that if we're keeping score, that's one network on the right, and countless networks that lean left - CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, etc.
But back to the issue at hand, it's not just me calling NPR "leftist propaganda". This is why we heard moves on the right to "defund NPR". Here's just a taste of what's going on:
Yes, I have listened to NPR in the past. The problem is not that *everything* they report is leftist propaganda. The problem is that most political reporting *is* filtered through a leftist lens. This is the way media bias often works: editorializing that pushes some socio-political viewpoint masquerades as hard news reporting.
If you watch Fox News, you'll find that the people who "sound a little angry" are not news reporters, but people giving editorials (Hannity, Jesse Watters, etc.). In other words, they are not trying to report hard news. Now, if you said that Brett Baier was "sounding angry", then that would be remarkable. However, you will never hear him "sound angry" because he is a hard news guy.
While it is true that the right does not have a monopoly on true ideas, I think it's safe to say that the left is vastly more of a threat due to its inability to recognize its own flaws. For example, when Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump in 2016, the left couldn't understand why, and the deflection then shifted to a narrative that Trump used subterfuge to conspire with the Russians to throw the election. The left then used false allegations to drag the entire nation through years of hearings, and countless hours of leftist pundits pushed this hoax narrative.
In the end, these investigations found that Donald Trump did not engage in subterfuge. He simply won because more people preferred him.
