NPR is just a bunch of loons, I would be shocked if you listened to them.
Truth hurts only if you are promoting lies.

In another example of why Americans increasingly distrust the establishment media to present factually sound, unbiased news, NPR published a report Friday claiming that Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony to Congress conflicted with the current claims of Michael Cohen about the "Moscow Trump Tower" deal discussions taking place in 2016.
After a number of reporters from various outlets called out NPR for reporting what was a verifiably false claim, the network finally issued a correction and deleted its original tweet — but not before the false report had permeated social media and made its way to CNN.
Among the reporters who caught NPR peddling the falsehood were The Washington Post's Phillip Bump and The Federalist's Sean Davis and Mollie Hemingway, whose posts were highlighted by Twitchy, among others.
"This NPR story appears to be wrong. It notes that Trump Jr. told a Senate committee that a deal in Moscow died of 'deal fatigue' by 2014," Bump explained. "But that was a deal with the Agalarovs. He was also asked if a deal was in the works in 2015/2016 and said yes."
"This entire story is a lie," wrote Davis. "Trump, Jr. was explicitly asked whether the Trump Organization was pursuing a plan to develop a Trump Tower in Moscow in 2016. His answer: 'Yes.' He even offered to give the 2015 LOI signed by Trump to Judiciary investigators."
"This story is completely wrong, as shown in attached link using the actual testimony," tweeted Hemingway. "Shocking that this was published given its lack of truth. It needs to be retracted."
After the pushback reached critical mass, NPR finally issued the following correction:
Updated at 4 p.m. ET
Editor's note: An earlier version of this report mischaracterized an answer Donald Trump Jr. gave to Senate investigators in 2017 about the prospective projects his family was negotiating with people in Moscow.
The story reported that Trump Jr.'s response — that negotiations on one project concluded by the end of 2014 — contrasted with the version of events as laid out in the guilty plea by Michael Cohen on Thursday. In fact, Trump Jr. and investigators were alluding to a different set of negotiations — not to a deal that Cohen was reportedly pursuing. Trump Jr. did acknowledge in his testimony that Cohen and another man were exploring a possible deal in Moscow in 2015 or 2016.
Trump Jr. did not address what Cohen has now admitted — that talks about such a deal continued at least into June 2016, longer than previously known and well into the presidential campaign.
NPR also deleted its original post and issued a new one.
Messy... yours such a loser! Insert foot in mouth, again!!!

As "the most transparent administration ever" it is odd that they fight any and all inquiries into how they do business . . . it's as if our country was being run like a small family business with no accountability. We are left to blind alligence . . . you know, "love it or leave it" as in don't question anything just follow along. That's for stupid ass sheep who willingly drink the koolaid. The cult of personality has these idiots brainwashed, they need an intervention.
I keep trying to imagine what Trump reelection campaign is going to look like. Obviously yelling about immigrants and a wall isn't getting folks out into the street like it used to... and so we see Trump fishing around for his next wedge issue to "wedge" Sun Belt voters to his side.
This week it looks like the options he's considering are:
Going to war with California.
Going after islamic studies classes at UNC as anti-semitic.
Asking foreign governments for help.

Tell us all about it,
Mr alarmist.
T's businesses have been through tax audits and bankruptcy proceedings, so he knows how thorough those examinations can be.
"Doc, my tonsils hurt."
"Let me check them. Drop your drawers, bend over, and spread'em."
Trump has been through this before... so I'm a bit surprised he isn't releasing his tax records. I bet he's paying a real low tax rate when compared to many people who voted for him, but beyond that I'd think most of what we'd find is not better or worse then what Mitt we saw with Romney's tax returns. At this point I think it's news to something like zero people that the laws favor the super rich.
Certainly don't know all the facts, but from what I can put together the steadfast refusal to release his returns sort or rings as a miscalculation? But of course time will tell.

You notice that whenever a question or article is posted that make the left look, well like the liberals that they are, that the libs in here just kinda gloss over it? It's kinda cute how they try to ignore reality...
