As someone who would be qualified as liberal by most of you, I agree.

Thread rez!!
Comment: NPR thought it was important to have a reporter "on the scene" in Paris when abortion was guaranteed in the French constitution on the Day of the Woman. Her triumphal tone of reporting was absolutely inappropriate for an ostensibly neutral news source.

I've been saying for a while now that actual news is pretty much dead. All that remains are editorials and opinion pieces. Most of it is barely factual. Some of it is outright lies.
These days I have to consult multiple news broadcasts, try to discern what is consistent between them and then try to filter from that what is actual fact and what is speculation. Hell, sometimes I get better reporting from comedy talk shows. That's what we've come to. Idiocracy.
