I’ve been a long supporter of NPR —
Given NPR money;
Shamed/Coerced others into giving money to NPR;
And I’ve even worked as one of those phone volunteers during Fund Raising Week!
And, now I wonder, what does “NPR” really stand for? Is it:
National Propaganda Radio? or
Narrative Promotion Radio?
Just a couple of recent examples:
When RFK, Jr. announced his Candidacy, I expected to see something on NPR. So, I did a search. I found only one recent article about Kennedy, an article describing Kennedy as a “Conspiracy Theorist” for questioning the CoVid-1984 “mRNA Injections are Safe and Effective” Narrative.
When Tucker Carlson interviewed Vladimir Putin, I sure expected to see articles on NPR about the substance of the interview and what Putin said. Instead, the only article was about Carlson “trying to gain some relevance” after having been fired from the “Mainstream Media [MSM] (Fox)” for questioning some Narratives. Spoiler alert: Carlson, on X, gets more views than any MSM outlet, and more people watched his interview with Putin than watched the Super Bowl.
On NPR you will NEVER hear a voice questioning any Narrative, e.g., “Global Warming”, “mRNA Injections are Safe and Effective”, Masks are Good!, support for Ukraine, Russian-Trump Collusion, Hunter’s Laptop is “Russian Disinformation”, etc., etc., etc. I’ve stopped supporting NPR, and stopped listening to them. Yes, aside from NPR “News” there are some good programs, some local. Hopefully these good programs will find new homes when enough people start boycotting NPR.
I’ve written very many times about Censorship with regard to the “Climate Crisis” Narrative, e.g. see here. During the CoVid-1984 fiasco, the Censorship became pretty obvious to anyone paying attention. In France, just now, “In the dead of night, a new law slipped through the General Assembly that would make it a crime to criticize mRNA shots. Critics call it the Pfizer law. It calls for fines up to 45,000 euros and possibly three years in prison for debunking an approved medical treatment.”1
This Censorship is NOT a Conspiracy Theory. Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, and the subsequent “Twitter Files”, showed the censorship by .gov, politicians, the 3-Letter Agencies, MSM, Big Pharma, etc. Of course the “Twitter Files” were never mentioned on the MSM. There is a war going on, and it is a war for the control of your mind, and they’re doing a damn good job.
I hope more people, as I, will stop paying corporations to Censor them, and stop paying money for Propaganda, masquerading as “News”, from the dying Mainstream Media. Stop paying for people to program your mind and enslave you!
A couple of recent articles about censorship below:
The first from Matt Taibbi, one of the authors of the “Twitter Files):
The second, a recent posting on Twitter by Tucker Carlson where he interviews an expert on Censorship, mainly focused on Censorship by the Military Industrial Complex:

Just in:
A federal court has granted a preliminary injunction against the White House and other federal defendants in a lawsuit brought by Mr. Kennedy Jr. that accuses the Biden administration of orchestrating a campaign to pressure social media platforms to censor vaccine criticism.
Judge Terry A. Doughty of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana issued the ruling on Feb. 14, stating that Mr. Kennedy Jr. has demonstrated a strong likelihood of success in proving government infringement on his free speech rights.
The injunction prevents the defendants—which include the White House, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the FBI—from taking any actions to coerce social media companies to remove or suppress content containing protected free speech.
