I have liberal friends who, before this essay appeared, told me that they'd stopped listening to NPR because of its slide into advocacy rather than reporting news.

It's happening everywhere—people no longer can help themselves in professional situations. They must tell us what to think, rather than help (or teach us) how to think.

For example, I don't remember any overt politics at high school, but ours feeds our kid a steady diet. Entertainment is another area of concern.

In my K-12 public school years, the propaganda was just a dab. The schools were well-meaning and at least tried to educate us.

These days, though, the social engineering seems front and center.
