The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I used to listen to NPR on the radio while driving (and before that, a financial station). But I realized two things. First, that was my primary opportunity to listen to music. Second, the stories were usually meaty enough that I had to pay attention. I tend to focus (as in "oblivious to all else around me"), and when I'm driving I should really focus on driving. So I switched back to music while driving. More relaxing, too.

As far as the other poster's comment, it appears that facts seem to have a liberal bias. But facts are not biased. They are facts, and by definition have no "bias". I think the most NPR (and several other outlets I use) could be accused is editorial bias: what they choose to report. Not the actual facts of the reporting.

Compare and contrast to FOX, or OANN, or several others who misrepresent or flat-out lie. FOX already paid one settlement (for three-quarters of a billion dollars). OANN just settled a suit this summer. I think another FOX suit is pending, IIRC.
