I’ll listen to snippets of right wing talk radio but it generally doesn’t take long before the exaggeration (Glenn Beck) or Trump idol worship (Clay Travis) get annoying.
I like hearing perspectives on stories that I won’t hear elsewhere but in general, I don’t need very much political news in my life. I’m happier spending my time on audio books and podcasts.
I’m not sure I’ve ever engaged with NPR beyond seeing conservatives mock some of their silliest propaganda headlines in the past few years.

What about all the nonpolitical shows on NPR/PBS? Snap Judgement, This American Life, Prairie Home Companion, Nature, NOVA, etc.
Lots of people watch PBS/NPR not for politics, but for the entertainment/educational content.
I’ve never watched any of them. Maybe Nova a few times when I was a kid.
PBS/NPR will be fine. Their business model might have to change but that might ultimately be a good thing.
Prairie Home Companion died almost 8 years ago man don't remind me.

I remember being in the gym and catching some coverage of Fox News on Trumps trade war and potential deals. I believe the quote from one of the people talking was something like:
"We don't know the specifics about what's in this deal but we do know that this is a huge win for American businesses and the American people."
