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.

Everything has bias. What’s wrong with a leftist bias? Isn’t a complaint of bias in itself bias?
My top concern about its bias is how overtly biased a publicly funded radio station is with its embrace of wokeism — an ideology that is overwhelmingly unpopular with the public.

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?
No, there are objective studies of bias.
>Isn’t it simply relative to one’s own bias?
No, there are left, center, and right sides of the political spectrum.
>A consequence of how one measures it?
No. You can objectively measure these things regardless of where you personally lie on the political spectrum.
