Is it? Show me a similarly soft pedaled, deferential NPR interview of a right wing extremist.

Someone else in this thread posted a diffed view of the interview demonstrating how NPR reshaped the article a week after publication. Very, very instructive.

Steve Inskeep did 30 minutes with Steve Bannon this week. They did a piece with Chris Rufo yesterday (he's the guy that got right wing media to start freaking out about CRT, and then DEI). But please, do go on clutching your pearls about the WORST POSSIBLE THING EVER: PROPERTY DAMAGE!! Nope, not civil rights violations or gleefully platforming some of the most objectively harmful viewpoints on modern politics, nope, it's PROPERTY DAMAGE that is absolutely the most important possible thing to get upset about.

Harvard and UNC lost at the Supreme Court when sued over their DEI programs being illegal discrimination.

Comparing calling out that illegal bigotry to people trying to justify looting is precisely what people are saying is biased.
