That’s good news
I’m all for the Governments Authority, because why do we need ‘ Bear
Arms 
‘ anyway 
And Tim Walz lies again.
And I think of all those emotions I went through when our country was attacked:
374 Minnesota in the Global War on Terrorism
fear, anger, confusion, hope, pride, a desire for revenge, guilt. As for me, I was
sitting in room 114 at Mankato West High School right before school started.
And in a typical high school, there was the noise in the halls, and it was a new
school year. But then kids started coming in and sitting in classrooms and the
TV was on, and those events started to unfold, and that room got fuller and
quieter and there were tears and fear and confusion.
In the years after that classroom, I had the privilege of serving in this state's
national guard. I stood one night in the dark of night on the tarmac at Bagram
Air Base in Iraq and watched a military ramp ceremony–a soldier’s body being
loaded onto a plane to be returned home. And if you've seen it, you don't leave
the same. It makes you wonder, what are we doing? What are we trying to get
to? And then watching as all of you have been, the confusing last few weeks
with the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.

I’ve often wondered how people who lie remember them all, so they never get caught ? Then again, I guess if you’re really good at denialism and never admitting any faults or responsibility, then go ahead and lie your brains out.

By the way, he even got the country wrong. Bagram Air base is in Afghanistan, not Iraq.
I’ll bet 75+% of the country couldn’t point those two countries out on a globe if they weren’t labeled. I know I could point to the basic area… I think.
The only lies NPR provides, is THE LYING DOWN OF THE GAUNTLET ON MANIPULATION when they see it.
This dirty pool politic strategy tragedy doesn’t give two
’s about whether someone or something is Truthful or a Lie. All they care about are flash point topics, that can be manipulated one way or the other to make the other guy look bad and the hell with the consequences.You do it to us on a scale of 6 to 7 then we’re coming for you on a scale of 8 to 10…. What happened to the good old days, when seemingly everyone would share the advice ( two wrongs don’t make a right , or attempted right
)Exactly ! I’m lost and they are THE GPS locating integrity in cause. Skepticism is my middle name
So believing is something I do, but carefully. I Trust them more than other news stations and I invite you to give them a chance….. Trust is a funny thing, it’s an inside job to navigate life safely, but also an outside job, or gift to others, helping them gain trust in themselves through failure 
…Yes you heard that right. Sometimes it’s better to trust in them and let them fail or succeed rather than interfere. When we remain vigilant against oppositional opinions, our cause becomes defined for all to see. Then we sit back and observe how life unfolds. That’s when change or improvement can begin. Surely there’s gotta be something you heard on npr that hit the mark ? But if not, that’s ok, because we are both part of the improvement evolution.
NPR is a Publicly funded program looking for Unbiased journalism delivered with integrity, no smirky facial expressions, judgmental words or attitudes that could undermine one’s ability to interpret the story properly.

Who are the public which funds this bias news group?
Everyone who’s tired of listening to the same old same old Egotistical humanistic nonsense that we love to hate. Every one of us has Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Some days we give to a good bigger more important cause ( NPR ) and other days we give towards a selfish cause. So you see, the Devil and the angels are the same person, all we have to do is encourage the angels a little more in ourselves and others and give understanding and forgiveness to ourselves and others when we fall into our desires.

NPR is definitely on the left side of the spectrum but that doesn’t mean I won’t listen to them. There is some very good programming on there even if you stay away from the political stuff.
And when they report about debates or this or that, it’s done in a very professional manner. They won’t throw you under the bus, but if you’re under the bus, they will report about it sincerely.

I like their Sunday morning programming, especially when I’m traveling. When I get tired of that there’s always country music or podcasts to listen to. Sometimes I’ll just drive and listen to nothing, with the window down and the AC on. To be fair I also listen to some conservative stuff. There has to be a balance. I get a little from here, a little from there and then I make up my mind.
I too watch CNN, giggle at their lies, then go to Fox, giggle a bit more...and back and forth.
......and USING your shirt.
Sometimes it's not what they say, it's what they omit.
....."there are fine people on both sides"
"Peacefully and patriotically go make your voices heard"
It's over there to the right and the other is lower and to the left of it.
