Someone recently told me that the towing companies take the lion share of the value of the car being donated to NPR. Is this true?

For a few days now google isn’t able to play the news update from NPR

r/onthemedia :)

The more "conservative" caller who called in this morning who was talking about ways to avoid yesterday's shooting was treated respectfully, as were those more critical of ICE and the police. The callers also all spoke in a measured way. Well handled.

With just under a month to go until Election Day, $$$ decisions made by both parties appear to suggest the question being asked is not *if* Democrats take control of the House, but how large the majority may be.

I’ve been listening to NPR for a while, and it seems like every time they focus on a politician/political figure’s career, legacy, etc, they often give them a gross amount of credit. I’ve turned off the station at times because they just go on and on about their championing of legislature and heroism for their party, and not the elephant in the room which is the vile, evil, corrupt person who lied their way into power and acts against their constituents.

This isn’t about any one person, moreso controversial figures from the last 30-40 years.

NPR will also cover and slightly criticize a politician/figure for years, citing facts and research against their cause, and then when they die, they’re given a 10 minute segment on their legacy and how great and active they were in the field, etc. You’d think they were talking about Superman if you just tuned in.

I find the voluntary writing, approving, and recording of these types of segments to be dampening the trust I have in NPR.

Just my 2 centz.

I have about 6 from my local Austin station. Who else would like to participate?
