• NPR is left wing news?

    From Adam H. Kerman@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 6 21:42:50 2025
    I truly wish Trump would shut the fuck up about how NPR is a left-wing
    news outlet and don't deserve the tiny public subsidy they receive,
    directly and indirectly, from the federal government. If they are, they
    are horrid at promoting left-wing causes and Trump should just be
    thankful that their reporting can be pathetic at times.

    Interviewing a spokesflak for Department of Homeland Security, there was discussion of the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom Trump claims was
    deported to the contract prison in El Salvador through "administrative
    error" but continues to insist is an MS-13 gang member, based on an
    accusation a confidential informant about his activities in New York,
    where he was not resident.

    The interviewer kept asking if he received due process, which allowed
    the spokesflak to repeat over and over that various federal judges (I
    guess administrative law judges in immigration proceedings but it wasn't
    clear) had found him to be a gang member.

    The interviewer (female) was clueless about due process. The correct constitutional standard to ask about was probable cause. The man
    received protected status from an immigration judge back in 2013 and was
    not to be deported back to El Salvador, where he would be killed by
    gangs. He was living in the United States legally. He had not been
    arrested for crimes either in El Salvador nor the US.

    The recent court that ordered the Trump administration to return him
    from El Salvador said that the man's constitutional rights were violated
    the moment he was picked up.

    One cannot be arrested, arraigned, and charged for a felony lacking
    probable cause. Evidence in support of probable cause is presented at
    the arraignment, at least in summary. The judge then finds probable
    cause and the defendant is arrested and charged with the felony. If not,
    then the initial arrest was uncomstitional.

    This evidence is presented publicly. The spokesflak kept insisting
    evidence existed but it was developed through intelligence and she
    couldn't discuss it due to police confidentiality.

    If the evidence truly existed, then the prosecution was required to
    present it in court in a public proceeding, unless for some reason this
    was under FISA which this wasn't.

    Remember, this was not a man accused of violating the conditions of his humanitarian parole by committing crimes or for any other reason. He
    wasn't subject to removal,

    But because the NPR reporter doing the interview lacked the kind of
    legal training I've had (by watching tv), she let the Trump
    administration repeat misleading statements again and again.

    Dumb leftist reporters are good for Trump. He should increase NPR's
    funding.

    NPR like PBS both of which are left-wing propaganda and should be put out
    of business, don’t have a consistent national presence. Your local
    affiliate picks and chooses what they want. Ours thinks Kamala Harris is a
    good idea.

    NPR like PBS both of which are left-wing propaganda and should be put out
    of business, don’t have a consistent national presence. Your local affiliate picks and chooses what they want. Ours thinks Kamala Harris is a good idea.

    Ours doesn't just think Kammie was a good idea for president, they're all in
    on her becoming the next governor of California.

    Rachel Ziegler has a video where she says if we didn’t vote for Kamala
