Hopefully NPR loses its funding. It's an extreme leftist cesspool and shouldn't be federally funded. Left-leaning, for sure. They make the most earnest attempt to be objective among major media outlets, though. A few weeks ago, they included a case of a man who committed suicide with a firearm in an empty school parking lot as a 2018 "school shooting". They're not honest at all, they're just better at hiding their agenda. At least with the likes of CNN they're pretty open with where they stand politically. NPR tries to paint themselves as the unbiased and intellectual choice, but they're some of the most manipulative pieces of shit in the media. Source?

Early episodes featured the character Grover breaking bread with a hippie. Oscar, who lived in a rubbish bin, was supposed to address "conflicts arising from racial and ethnic diversity." Dann also told Shapiro he used the program in the wake of 9/11 to highlight how there were peaceful alternatives to war. Shameful! Criminal, even! In fairness to Shapiro, however, Sesame Street was criticized in the past for having an anti-right agenda in 2009, when it mockingly referred to Americas Fox News channel as "Pox News." I'm going to assume that the "pox news" thing is true even though it isn't a direct quote. The part that is less likely to be true because it's not a direct quote from someone else is the following: Shapiro apparently interviewed "hundreds of industry insiders," some of whom actually admitted using their shows to "spread secret political messages." --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Yea that's fair. You could maybe make an argument over the fact that since SS addresses a lot of social issues, if the writers are overwhelmingly left than it would result in kids being presented one possible way to handle those issues for many years before being exposed to other alternatives. I would say that falls well short of propaganda in and of itself because it lacks the intent, but I don't think its an unfair question to ask how social issues are presented to children if they're almost exclusively coming from one voice. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz. The Three Beats Of War, Peace And Revolution Continue On Forever." - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz <cite>s0nicfan posted [p:895957051] in Trump prop...

You could maybe make an argument over the fact that since SS addresses a lot of social issues, if the writers are overwhelmingly left than it would result in kids being presented one possible way to handle those issues for many years before being exposed to other alternatives. I would say that falls well short of propaganda in and of itself because it lacks the intent, but I don't think its an unfair question to ask how social issues are presented to children if they're almost exclusively coming from one voice.</quote> ...
