In 2016 NPR laid out a smear campaign on Bernie Sanders. Didn't even give the man equal time. Just smeared him. If it gets defunded I won't be totally sad.

I literally stopped listening to NPR after the way they treated him.

Yea, same. Stopped donating. Stopped caring what they had to say. I'm glad there's some of us out there that saw it. It was such a wakeup call moment.

It really tainted everything I listened to on the station.
