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.
Fuck me, wasn’t the title of this an Onion headline a year and a half ago?
I hate that the Onion news is just becoming the news. The level of absolute absurd contradiction is getting unreal
NPR has always been a psyop IMHO
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
IS IT REALLY
I knew NPR people were insufferable libs but I had no idea what a ghoul Steve Inskeep is. He does comedy-horror dystopia yet it’s real.
I wanted to throw my phone into the sun listening to that interview out of rage. Absolute slimeball scumbag shit
Just reading the transcript was more than enough for me
That’s a good call, it’s his tone of voice while crackersplaining to the Palestinian man that would get me to volunteer for wall duty
When people joke about “the wall” or “gulag” this is the exact type of person who deserves. People who have actively use their power to be a blight on the world. Imagine having all of the knowledge and journalism expertise and insight to just use it for this nonsense
i didn’t like listening to this
yeah, I especially hated the end of the interview where Innskeep reiterates the response he was fishing for (“oh, so you would leave gaza if you could
”) then abruptly ends it.it’s hard to even make an analogy what it’s “like” because i don’t think a genocide sponsor has ever so personally and publicly done this kind of charade of journalism to a victim
it’s like a comic that’d feature in der sturmer come to life
“You’re saying you would leave Dachau with your family if given the opportunity?”
“you’re willing to leave this smoldering pile of Ash and death that was once your home? I thought you had conviction in your beliefs”
Hey Siri, what happened to Julius Streicher in 1946?
