  • Deeply disappointed

    As a feminist since 1995, I found this episode deeply disappointing.

    NPR took an unresolved, factually complicated case and reported it through an inflammatory, one-sided lens that essentially validated the allegations before the full record is known.

    The fact that Jane Doe said, “I was 100% raped,” is powerful. It is also a legal conclusion, not a substitute for the facts.

    Instead of seriously examining those facts, NPR chose a predetermined narrative about women, victimization and instituti... more

  • Bill Gates Interview

    Why is NPR platforming a man who was friends with and a client of Epstein, who also snuck his wife STD medication? NPR embodies the corporatist DNC, and serves the important role of whitewashing the ills of the ruling capitalist class.

  • Trashy story about Hollywood

    I don’t think the details associated with “intimacy coaches” and their methods for Hollywood actors making R rated movie scenes qualifies as beneficial reporting.

    There are better elements of culture to highlight.

    This is the same NPR that begged for donations after federal funding was pulled.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NPR's voting correspondent on what he's watching for on election day - and afterwards
Q: The one concern that rises above all else goes back to federal law enforcement, goes back to the Department of Justice, not about this monitoring effort necessarily, but about the idea of ballot seizures and the idea that federal law enforcement could get a search warrant to be able to take possession of ballots.
Parks says the FBI's seizure of election materials in Fulton County made officials consider whether federal agents might seek ballots before counting is complete. He calls the scenario unprecedented but says officials have been preparing for it.
NPR's voting correspondent on what he's watching for on election day - and afterwards
Q: And in terms of how the requests are being perceived, you had one election clerk, a Democrat, actually say to you on the record that they think it's politically motivated and potentially an intimidation technique. Do they feel like there's a risk to saying that out loud, that they might invite more scrutiny from the administration?
Parks says election officials are nervous about attracting scrutiny from the Trump administration, partly because officials in earlier election cycles faced death threats and political pressure. The clerk chose to speak publicly after learning the DOJ would monitor his county.
Voting ends Tuesday. Here's how the campaigns are closing
Q: What has been the broader GOP closer argument?
Tamara Keith says Republican politicians have framed the election as a choice between common sense and what they characterize as extreme Democrats who are out of touch with American values. Trump's rally remarks, she says, shifted attention back to his own performance.
Voting ends Tuesday. Here's how the campaigns are closing
Q: Tell me more about President Trump's closing message today.
Danielle Kurtzleben says Trump opened his rally with an extended discussion of Washington renovation projects, then turned to election issues before returning to the renovations. She describes the focus as unusual on the day before the midterms.
The Gulf states fear renewed war after the midterms
Q: Is Iran saying what it would do if it's attacked again?
Iran's supreme leader reportedly told military commanders that any threat must receive an immediate response without geographic limits, and state media said new U.S. or Israeli attacks would bring greater damage.
