Anger—real, visceral anger—is not an emotion I feel frequently, but this had me shaking with rage when I first heard it. Even a few days later I can't even properly formulate a comment because I can't think straight when recalling the contents of the interview. I knew NPR was bad, having gone through an NPR phase during and a bit after the 2016 campaign season where I listened to the morning and evening shows religiously, but this is beyond the pale. Like, I'm used to them having on some scumfuck politician and giving zero pushback on all of the terrible stuff they say, parroting every State Department talking point, and doing a bunch of fearmongering for the most milquetoast progressive positions, but doing this directly to someone in the middle of a genocide desperately clinging to life is beyond the pale. And this ghoul takes home HALF A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR for his faithful performance.
