NPR is a "neutral organization"? I suspect that would wound the souls of many of the staff there.

See, for example: "New NPR Ethics Policy: It's OK For Journalists To Demonstrate (Sometimes)"

Yuuuup. Like the above poster said, conservatives have gone way off the deep end…to the point where sometimes it’s really ducking hard to talk in any sort of neutral tone.

I read a lot of Reuters during the trump admin and boy you could hear their tone subtly slip the whole time and when the election results were being contested, journalists everywhere were straight up calling it baseless and inflammatory. Not very neutral but also just facts. And at some point, trying to sound neutral no matter the circumstances is going to sound insane.
