    If you listen to NPR, you’d know that they only lean one way.

      I assume you mean they lean liberal and let’s say I grant you that.

      Do you think community radio might lean liberal because conservatives don’t believe in community and undermine the very concept at every turn?

      Do you think NPR could be more centrist if conservatives started believing in building our communities rather than undermine them?

      What specifically about community radio is antithetical to your beliefs and would your participation in it help to alleviate those issues?

      Because yeah, if the people you hate are involved in community radio while you choose not to, of course you won’t be represented, but that was your decision, not NPR’s. I think you should actively think about the fact that your consumption of right wing propaganda is silencing you within your community (on purpose). That is your fault, not NPR’s.

      A true criticism of public broadcasting would be the reliance on licensing British and Canadian content, but again, that’s your fault as well since you refuse to participate and help us fund original content.
