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.

Didn't have this on my bingo card todday:

usatoday.com - Trump npr pbs defunded budget cuts

PBS, NPR push liberal propaganda. Trump is right to cut their funding. | Opinion
Why do conservatives have so much disdain for NPR and PBS? Since both are taxpayer funded, they are supposed to serve all the public. But both push leftist propaganda to a progressive audience.

NPR claims they're right down the middle. Sure, if your idea of "middle" is a bit off:

On CNN, Maher seemed befuddled about the suggestion of liberal bias. "As far as the accusations that we’re biased, I’d stand up and say, ‘Please show me a story that concerns you,’” she said.

Hey, no problem. Here are a few headlines from NPR:

This right wing conspiracy theory about eating bugs is about as racist as you think − March 2024
Kamala Harris already faces racism and sexism from Trump and Republicans − July 2024
'There Is No Neutral': 'Nice White People' Can Still Be Complicit In A Racist Society − June 2020
Let's review: Republicans and their presidential nominee are racist and sexist. The Democratic nominee is the victim of that racism and sexism. Even "nice" White people are racist as is American society as a whole.

And by the way, before you ask, none of those "news" stories were labeled as opinion.
