    Neither NPR or NYT are “ultra liberal,” tf you talking about? They pretend to be liberal at times, but they’re about as centrist–and more often than not, center-right–as you can get in the US without disenfranchising too many customers. NPR was a lot more objective back when they didn’t rely so heavily on corporate sponsors/donors, but those days are long gone. That being said, NPR’s actual news reporting is at least among the lesser tainted when it comes to bias compared to corporate news/media outlets. It’s far from perfect, though.

      Liberal with a capital L is not the same as left. I’m far to the left of both of them. Liberals, like Pelosi, Biden, Jeffries, Newsom, and their ilk, are Center-Right. Taken in the context of the world, they’re more Right.

      NYT backs their agendas. NPR has been their mouthpiece for a long time. Neither are balanced the way we’d like for them to be.

      But, trying to explain this on the internet is like screaming into a void, so whatever.
