Taxpayer-funded NPR announced Thursday on Twitter that it is not covering the Hunter Biden laptop scandal because it’s not really a story, which prompted widespread backlash online. “Why haven’t you seen any stories from NPR about the NY Post’s Hunter Biden story?” NPR wrote on Twitter. NPR then answered the question, writing: “We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.”Almost instantly, the tweet sparked accusations of bias, which comes after one of Hunter Biden’s former business partners said in a statement on Thursday

Stop government funding of NPR now. Did NPR cover the Russian pee story? Did it cover all the BS alleged against the Trumps and their associates? Stop the funding NOW. This is pure and unadulterated bias.

Really? A potential President of the United States may be involved in a massive scheme for greatly enrich his family and himself involving major enemies of the country based on physical evidence and eyewitnesses...and NPR, a publicly funded need organization doesn't think it's really a story worth covering?! Incredible. Defund NPR. It's not really a news organization.

This is the time when everyone will see the justification to de-fund the NPR communists. Cut them OFF.
And give the finger to those drivers who put NPR stickers on their automobiles.

To understand the scale of the Enemedia's hypocrisy, one only has to substitute Donald Jr. for Hunter and Donald Sr. for Joe. Then this would indeed be a "story" and not at all "pure distractions." Our democracy depends on a free and fair press. Our democracy is hanging in the balance November 3rd.

"Not really a story" when a Presidential candidate's son has been collecting millions from China and Ukraine and 50% going to the former VP/candidate?
They are such rotten liars.

Let Darlene Shively pay for NPR and get it out of the taxpayers' pockets. She seems to like her name plastered across the TV. I'm tired of the CNN of public television getting taxpayer money.

Their main audience is likely the upper-income, very liberal, or progressive, college educated and white.
Can't have them hearing anything contrary to what they hear on CNN or MSNBC, or upset them and cause them to not want to donate, I would presume.

I will occasionally watch NOVA on PBS and will listen to NPR on Sunday morning while jogging - when there is nothing else but sports, investing or real estate. I can guarantee at some point the progressive ideology will be interjected. NOVA will be Global Warming/Climate and NPR will usually be socialized medicine or social justice. The cause will be presented in some bleeding heart fashion with opinions not facts and will advocate a can't fail socialist solution which has repeatedly failed in other countries - but they just didn't do it right, which means spend enough of other people's money. I have petitioned my Senators to de-fund but my Rep is a dim.

And The New York Times got two Pulitzers for its false reporting on Trump. The president should just look in the camera tonight and tell the American people to use their common sense and read the New York Post.

If this is a "distraction" then Watergate didn't qualify as a trick or treat prank.

If the government ever defunds NPR, where will Ms. Fatty Alcindor go to earn a living? She's to stupid to be anything other than a LSM journalist!

This is called an in-kind contribution in fund-raising lingo.

The feds should shut down the subsidies NPR gets. They obviously don't need it anymore given the number of channels that exist. This is a great point that when congress passes laws, that they never go away even when they're no longer needed. It's a great slush fund for demonrats as this story proves.
