Blinded by Science The eclipse came and went very quickly. The much anticipated event was spectacular at its peak moment and left town like thief in the ..day. No blackouts, cellphone outages, toilet paper or gasoline panics took place. All the Y2K fear tactics came and went just as the dot that crossed the sun. The only thing that became “meme-worthy” was the cloud cover in Texas. The old saying of “If you don’t like the weather in Texas, just wait a few minutes.” Well, no one had a few minutes...they had only 45 seconds or so. Last week on The Free Press, Uri Berliner dropped a bomb on the media world with “I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust” (see page 13). As discussed on the new America This Week, the longtime senior editor described how NPR fumbled three stories: Covid, the Hunter Biden laptop mess, and the Trump-Russia lie. This was a total lack of journalistic ethics which no doubt swayed voters. Is NPR literally taxpayer funded fraud? It appears as such. We’ve warned you about NPR over and over since about 2018.
