They forgot the part where every media outlet, including NPR, runs pieces saying, "it may not be as crazy as it sounds. It's really 3D chess, and while it looks like a horrible disaster right now, sometime in the future it might make all of your furniture spontaneously convert to gold! We don't know, but people are saying it."
NPR does not do that to the extent people claim it does, not even close. They present the facts and allow people to interpret them as they will, for the most part. It's not their fault people are bad at interpretation
But, they do. NPR is - except for Lemmy -almost my only source of news, and I had to stop listening to it when they ran a piece on how the tariffs might actually not be such a bad thing.
You may be right: they may not do it as much as some people claim, but they're still repeating bullshit claims far more than they used to.
Would you mind linking the piece? The piece I saw did not support it
I think this might be it: https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1242229719
As usual, NPR doesn't know what it's talking about, Ork Teef actually degrade relatively rapidly outside of their mouths and are replaced by their species just regrowing them.
This is just another economic cargo cult!
