Timely ask given this article posted today from a well known NPR contributor: https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-tru...

I was a big fan of NPR and built one of the most popular NPR apps at the dawn of the iPhone. Now, I rarely listen anymore. I'm looking for news news and all that is available today is opinion news.

I think Breaking Points YouTube channel started off right. Unfortunately, they have veered off course recently, with each host presenting a one-sided opinion about the topics they are passionate about.

These days, I basically browse the explore option on Substack and hope to find interesting articles. https://substack.com/browse/business

After getting past the lightning rod "orange man bad" and "laptop gate" preamble, I found that npr oped to be mostly spot on unfortunately. This from a life long npr listener who leans left.

That he is orange is just a fact. What makes him a bad man is everything else he does.

Yeah I liked breaking points when it was just the two original hosts even though it was still opinionated. Honestly the podcast scene has just turned into cable news
