After reading your comment, I felt I had to see what this horrible article was like. I’m afraid I had a completely different read than you did. I found it pretty well balanced, and even a bit liberal leaning. It did not seem to shy away from, subtly, calling out the rich assholes who want us all to breed so they have more workers to enslave. And also the politicians who want us to breed so they have more people to conscript into their armies. Not saying NPR hasn’t gone to shite. They pretty much have from what I gather; I stopped listening a long time ago. But I didn’t think this article was at all objectionable, frankly. Agree to disagree. Cheers!
I remember my friends parents’ calling NPR Nice Polite Republicans and PBS Petroleum Broadcast System back in the 70s (I think) and certainly by the 80s, so…they’ve been rather right-leaning for a very long time.
This is why I chuckle when I hear some wingnut talking about NPR and PBS as is they are just reeling off Marxist doctrine or something…
