NPR's fascination with and fetishization of race is sad to see. The fact that they list the 1619 Project (an ahistoric and well debunked project) as a "book we love" was all I needed to see. The mask fell off and the leftist/wokeism bias is on full display.

A publicly funded media arm having an ideological bias is scary.

Isn’t bias simply a matter of perspective? Isn’t it simply relative to one’s own bias? A consequence of how one measures it?

>Isn’t bias simply a matter of perspective?
