I refuse to give NPR any more of my time anymore. I used to have a very long commute so for many years my radio was locked in on them all the time (the fact that music stations are shit these days doesn't help either). Not any more. I'll look at their stories if they come across my news feed these days, but they lost their credibility with how they handled Trump with kid gloves and they lost even more credibility with how they tried to sink Bidens agenda more recently.
Our news media gives one free pass after another to Republicans and holds Democrats to impossibly high standards.
In terms of what I listen to now, it's a random assortment of what comes through my feed. I really haven't had a good "home" for news in a while and I don't like that, but reading multiple sources is probably the best move regardless since you can see how various outlets spin the same story. I'd love to find some slick app that compiled many outlets so I could read them on my tablet that filtered out the noise but I've yet to find that solution.
