'Rigorous'?? NPR Devolves Into Video Podcasting with Suckup Wes Moore Interview #Political
National “Public” Radio announced a formal move into video with a new video podcast called NPR Newsmakers. The NPR YouTube page has been doing plenty of these half-hour “deep dives” in recent months, most noticeably with Democrat politicians who are pondering a run for president in 2028.
Inside Radio reported:
Eric Marrapodi, VP for News Programming at NPR, says the show will feature the kind of rigorous journalism NPR is known for, putting questions to policy leaders, cultural figures, disruptors, and changemakers. “No soundbites. No clickbait,” he says.
“Rigorous journalism”? That’s not what NPR usually does with Democrat pols. The debut of this series is Steve Inskeep interviewing Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. A chunk of that aired on Friday’s Morning Edition. The online headline was "Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a combat veteran, shares his thoughts on the war in Iran."
Get a load of this weirdness on the Iran War and Trump -- which leads the "rigorous" NPR video!
INSKEEP: The president never did address the nation.
MOORE: No.
INSKEEP: Should he?
MOORE: Yes. To be clear, and it's important for people to understand this, we are a nation at war right now. And I know it might not feel like it to many Americans. We are a nation at war. And we have not either been spoken to from the president of the United States, we have not been to -- asked to sacrifice anything as a country. We don't have a measurement of explanation as to what is going on.
Fact check! NPR can’t seem to recall that the president put out an eight-minute video addressing the nation on February 28, the first day of the conflict.
Inskeep then tossed a couple of questions to Moore about how he would have handled it differently, and naturally, he sounded just like Barack Obama -- how we needed to keep negotiating a nuclear deal, and pay no attention to how that’s been working out.
There were no questions about Maryland issues, or Democrat party problems, not even "Maryland man" Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. Instead, Inskeep the incessant Obama shoe-polisher turned into Obama Mode, all about racial break-throughs:
INSKEEP: Governor Wes Moore was talking in a reception room outside his office. The room is decorated with portraits of his predecessors. Unlike Moore, all the men in the portraits are white. He won office in 2022.
MOORE at victory party: What an amazing night and what an improbable journey. (CHEERING)
INSKEEP: He was a kid from Baltimore who lost his father young. He became a Rhodes scholar, a writer, a soldier and CEO of a foundation that fights poverty. His mother, too, once took a job with a foundation. Was her experience with that part of the reason you did the Robin Hood Foundation?
MOORE: You know, it's funny. I think her experiences were part of the reason why I was hesitant.
INSKEEP: He says he's skeptical of charities and insisted that his should change its practices.
MOORE: Philanthropy, for many places, is almost like philanthropy for philanthropists. Like, they give away money because it makes them feel better.
INSKEEP: The Trump administration has attacked nonprofits, casting them as secretly partisan. Moore says charities should be more political, campaigning for better government policy. As for Moore's own politics, he says he's focused on winning a second term as governor this fall while his party tries to capture Congress. Democrats have the advantage.
But let's be real. How could your party still screw this up?
“Secretly partisan”?? Is George Soros keeping a secret? This was the toughest question on Friday's show, "could you guys screw it up?"
