This episode was very informative. The examples did a good job of illustrating that NPR is ideologically captured; the ideology NPR is operating under is Critical Social Justice. For more on the ideological capture of the media and most U.S. institutions, view the latest issue of my Substack at 2026.substack.com titled "Holding America Captive."
Just a thought on the reporter who didn’t like it when people tried to spare her feelings by not calling her fat: People are being fake to her not because they are trying to be nice they are being fake to her because if they called her fat to her face she would blow a fuse! The reporter is obviously trying to have it both ways! It’s either people are fake to me or people have a problem with my fatness.
This is the exact same sloppy technique that Kendi uses with his anti-racism.
I'd be interested to learn where the fatness advocates fall on the issue of obesity as a disability. If people can be healthy at any size, then why do so many fat people, themselves, insist that they're unable to care for themselves as if they're no longer able-bodied?
Fat people absolutely don't deserve to be abused for their appearance, but at the same time, comparing what they're psysically able to do vs a fit person can, the difference is superhero-esque. This fat rights movement seems more like a peddler of nihilism to a group of people who are already prone to giving up on living better lives. I say fuck that! Never give up on yourself.

Excited to see what is next, and now you don't have to listen to NPR anymore! Top notch production by everyone involved, thank you.
