    I suggest actually reading what he wrote, it’s a long winded article written by an obviously disgruntled employee but worth a read. The guy made some solid points but I feel his conclusion came up short. He’s upset that he’s being told how to think. I feel the real takeaway is that news organizations have stopped reporting news they think their viewers will dislike. This is a much bigger threat than what this journalist is making it out to be. News is supposed to be just that, news. What happened, dates, times and facts. What we have now is some terrible form of entertainment/news that’s designed to feed your narrative and if they can’t they just won’t report it or will report a skewed version of the events. This is what cable news channels have been doing for years and NPR is supposed to be above that. I think that’s the main gripe he has but he seems to take his aggression out on progressive policies in his work place. I don’t disagree with Uri but I also feel that some of this resentment is just an older guy in a field that is rapidly changing.

      I read his piece when it first came out. He talks about the Hunter Biden laptop like it was an actual smoking gun. Dude has zero credibility.
