Another of the recent MPR reporting that gives you hope they might figure out their role again.
The history of activism and protest in Minnesota
I have been hell on MPR and NPR in general. And I don’t apologize for that even in the slightest. They have knuckled under to MAGAts for no freaking reason. On their knees and STILL lost their federal funding. You think that would cause them to grow a spine, but no, not really.
That said, some reporters still do the work, even if they still give air time to awful people. So, with ALL those caveats in mind, I am gonna post some recent stories and forums hosted on MPR lately.
Here’s a bit of a history lesson on how things work up here.
