Due to the mass of stations on the NPR network, we have decided to allow everyone to assign their own flair, limited to a station. Please refer to this list to find your station, and copy from the list, as:

Employee Flair
If you are an employee of NPR, a public radio production, or media affiliate, and want to be recognized in that capacity, please message the mods with proof and we will approve a special flair for you.
We invite you to be civil in your conversation. Try not to rely excessively on sarcasm, irony, or exaggeration; anything you want to say can be voiced without baiting or condescension. Differing opinions are welcome, but please don't engage with belligerents or those not acting in good faith.
Remember, we're all here because we want to be. Please be nice.
The mods reserve the right to maintain this community at their own discretion.
Please report posts that are in violation of Reddiquette or the above guidelines. Disagreeing with a post is insufficient on its own to merit a report.
We are unaffiliated with NPR and its affiliates.

In a day and age where corporations pay so little in taxes and spend so much on paying off politicians, putting the cost of running the country on taxing workers, running a piece on “giving to your cause” is insulting.
My life has been enriched by listening to NPR stations, programs and podcasts. I've also had to turn the radio off many times as I've felt alienated by an editorial bias that discounts conservative concepts and voices. My more conservative friends call me liberal and my more liberal friends call me conservative. I value truth, practicality, brotherhood, love, community, independence, teamwork and integrity. I don't like binary labels like conservative vs progressive/liberal or republican vs democrat. These labels feed the machine but don't serve the people or the greater good.
I offer the above as context for this post. I have some beliefs that may be considered more on the conservative side that I feel don't get well represented on NPR channels. An example: I feel that our national community is moving further away from a spirit of self reliance and personal accountability. My concerns regarding that perceived trend may align me at times with voices that would be called conservative.
I'd like to hear from other redditors that also believe in the value of public radio and have felt poorly represented at the same time. I would l like to have a polite, thoughtful and well rounded discussion about our relationship with public radio.
It is now being referred to as the Alien Enemies act of 1798. Who/when/where/why made/did this change?
Heard a piece yesterday which focused on a Marine who was onsite during Jan 6th.. listened with interest and the first “red flag” was the info that either him or his wife was baptized in a river by his grandfather who was an Evangelical pastor. The story continued with him lying and refusing to continue the interview after FBI video surfaced of him mouthing “stop the steal and putting a MAGA hat on the bust of MLK inside the capitol” he denied all this and reported “I just walked around a bit” …. Waiting for the conclusion to see if he’s still in the Marines 😐
