> But if you're starting from a place of NPR being too right-wing or bigoted, then I've seen enough.
I agree with your assessment of Twitter being mostly self-promotion and race/gender-charged drama, but no-one said "right-wing." I don't think an accusation that any media outlet cuts out facts that don't fit their narrative can be dismissed out of hand these days, unfortunately. I don't have a strong opinion about NPR, but I can see how Naomi _might_ not fit in the narratives they try to push. But I acknowledge that I'm being a bit intellectually dishonest, I'm not bringing any evidence to bear here either.
I think you read this wrong. She's following ~2k people, but she has 185.7K followers (and 1.46M subscribers on Youtube).
