I've never liked NPR. Throughout its long and venerable half-century run, the public radio network has served as a seamless delivery system for lifestyle smugness.
Everything about its programming was clearly branded as something serious people should care about, starting with the name of its flagship morning show, All Things Considered.
The NPR vantage on the world is twee and insular to a cringe-making degree. Apart from the odd Tiny Desk concert, very little on the network's programming roster seems to escape elite editorial vetting.
The NPR editorial voice is so devoid of groupthink that when an unhappy employee dares to complain, the reaction is swift and perfunctory: disciplinary action taken where well-placed excommunication might fail.
