NPR isn't corporate controlled.
"Some of the leading media corporations, they've decided what sells is divisiveness, and hatred and sensationalism, and that's how they make their money, and I think that the general public is seeing that," Ali said. "And that's why poll after poll after poll shows there is very, very low trust in media, because it's not media anymore, really."

NPR isn't corporate controlled.

Sure it is, it's run by DNC, Inc.

Man, Caleb Dressel is fast.
I can't believe one of the lefty NPR defending drivebys hasn't done a roll through yet.

Which tells you that rather than defend the party of their vote themselves, they just let the professional democrats in the MSM do it for them. They don't even engage in debate any longer, just turn up the volume of MSNBC.

How are you supposed to take these people seriously?

And she was so close to an epiphany in this statement:

"Poverty is a choice. For too long we have prioritized endless growth while millions are homeless, hungry or without healthcare” Omar said in a news release about the bill.

“The pandemic has laid bare these inequalities. We as a nation have the ability to make sure everyone has their basic needs like food, housing and healthcare met.”

Had she just shut up after the first sentence. 

I’m sure her constituents eat this stuff up, which is the true motivation behind proposing this bill.
Have they lost their [BLEEP] minds??

Alaska already does something similar. They call it an oil check I believe. My only fear is that this type of stimulus will cause rents to increase by $1,200 per month and it will not lead to any real change.

It’s a dividend from oil revenue, not taxpayer money. At the most it might be $1200 a year, but usually less. It wasn’t meant to be a guaranteed income handout. There is no parallel between the two.

Those are not the same thing. At all.

Looks to me like the 2024 Presidential Election is underway.
No kidding. DeSantis is campaigning already.
Eli Steele: Bad Faith | Fox News

Although this article is published on the Fox News website, it is considered 'white liberal safe' because it was written by a black guy. We promise not to tell Cori Bush if you do. Y'all can even refer to him as a race traitor and Uncle Tom if you feel the need to justify reading it. We understand.

...I told the pastor that I thought of him as I watched elites battle other elites over critical race theory in private schools and wealthy communities I had never before heard of. Several writers argued that we should heed these elites — the wealthy professionals to the academics in ivory towers — because their children would run America one day. But there was a strangeness, a kind of disconnect to these battles.

On one hand, the elites opposing critical race theory and its sister constructs seemed to have little idea that the battles they are fighting are rather old ones. On the other hand, the elites promoting these ideas in the name of what’s-best-for-Blacks seemed blind to how far removed their beliefs are from the needs of the very people they claim to want to help.

Pastor Brooks smiled with tired eyes. Sometimes the man on the bottom sees far more clearly than the man on the top. The pastor said that he wished that these elites would experience the day-to-day reality in the South Side. They would then "discover that liberalism has not been our best friend."

The pastor spoke of liberalism not as a political ideology, but rather as an existential condition that coldly shapes one’s life. And the pastor knew that many Americans fighting today’s culture wars failed to realize that they are fighting an old enemy well known to Blacks: bad faith.

In the documentary, "What Killed Michael Brown?" (and in the mini-documentary accompanying this opinion piece), my father, Shelby Steele, describes this bad faith as faithlessness. He notes that racism in America has always made the classic struggle between good faith and bad faith much harder for Blacks. How does a young boy on the South Side keep good faith in America when he is constantly told that he is oppressed, a victim of White supremacy, and that he needs outside forces to help him? This bad faith disbelieves in the power of Blacks to make a life and disbelieves in America and her principles — to the point that one often ends up giving up even before starting...
