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.

WitonKnight: "NPR suspends veteran editor as it grapples with his public criticism" ... You Liberals - you personally dont like "Putin!" - but you are little different.

Yeah, we are different; we believe in facts, and the fact is this: Berliner lied.

For example, Berliner wrote about NPR's reporting on "Russiagate," claiming NPR interviewed representative Adam Schiff 25 times and that Schiff alluded "to purported evidence of collusion" during many of those conversations.

Schiff discussed "evidence" of "collusion" once on NPR, referring to "public evidence": We have seen ample evidence of collusion very much in the public eye. Whether that evidence amounts to proof beyond reasonable doubt of a criminal conspiracy I've always said will be up to Bob Mueller. He may have determined that it doesn't need proof beyond reasonable doubt in terms of a crime. But nonetheless the evidence of that collusion, the evidence of the relationship between the Trump campaign and the president and Russia needs to be exposed.

So, no, not "many" times in many conversations.

Berliner also claimed that "when the Mueller report found no credible evidence of collusion, NPR’s coverage was notably sparse and that "Russiagate quietly faded from our programming."

Also not true. NPR explicitly reported that the "Mueller Report Doesn't Find Russian Collusion, But Can't 'Exonerate' On Obstruction and "Mueller Report Finds No Evidence Of Russian Collusion" with detailed analyses.

Berliner claimed that "NPR turned a blind eye" and "didn't make the hard choice of transparency" when it came to reporting on a story on the Hunter Biden laptop that appeared in the N.Y. Post.

Sorry, also not true.

On October 17, 2020, NPR reported on the N.Y. Post story: "Analysis: Questionable 'N.Y. Post' Scoop Driven By Ex-Hannity Producer And Giuliani"

NPR has also addressed complaints that its reporting increasingly has had more democratic voices than republicans, noting that republicans increasingly had been ducking interviews with NPR; republicans simply have repeatedly declined to appear on air.

But hey, what's the grievance party without grievances?
