Here’s Fox reporting on NPR’s bias: https://www.foxnews.com/media/npr-head-asks-critics-show-me-...

As you can see, it’s mostly gotcha quotes and unfair glosses. For example:

> NPR also called America’s interstate highways racist. I did not know our highways were racist. I thought they were concrete, but not according to NPR.

Of course, it’s a historical fact that many minority neighborhoods were bulldozed to make room for interstate highway development, among them Cincinnati, OH and St. Louis, MO.

But of course this history that actually happened is interpreted as Reuters’ liberal bias. There’s no winning this.

Have you read Robert Caro's The Power Broker? It's a biography of Robert Moses.

  • Robert Moses did not build the USA highway system.

    Robert Moses was racist.

    What was done to some communities was messed up.

    The highway system isn't racist.

    • What point are you trying to make? I don't see how you're connecting these things. The highway where I live is certainly designed with racist intent.
