I've worked with Public Radio people and commercial radio people for
many years.
Some of the air people on both sides of the aisle are into it just
because they like radio or they like money or they like their own voices
and their own egos. For these folks, ideas are just something you
pretend to have to advance your career or to get in good with those who
have money and power.
But a moderate percentage are there because they truly _believe_ in
something.
Of those who believe, many on the Public Radio side actually believe in
the holiness of "democracy," and the moral good of "one world" and like
beliefs that have evolved out of (but are not identical to) real
liberalism.
And the believers on the other side commonly put emphasis on a narrow
set of values derived from conservatism, that mostly revolve around
keeping what one earns and abjuring collective solutions (though, owned
as they are by the money-men, they blithely ignore real conservatism's
rejection of "free trade" and aggressive wars).
But is NPR "fair and balanced"?
On many issues, including the ones that the phony talking heads get all
excited about -- like what some Washington flunky said to "outrage" some
interest group, or whether or not smiling liar number 1 should be
elected instead of smiling liar number 2 -- they probably really do try
to be fair. After all, they are playing to a slightly educated audience,
unlike Fox News.
But when it comes to issues that the ethnically distinct money-men
passionately care about, like whether the European race deserves to have
a country of its own anywhere on Earth, or whether Kevin MacDonald
should be allowed to continue to teach and publish, NPR will seldom give
a voice to the side they want us to hate.
Agreed. They suffer their own kind of group think. The fact it is
slightly less delusional than FOX news doesnt mean it has the truth.
As for a white country, there is my neck of Ozark woods, north of I-40
in Arkansas. Too steep for agribusiness, it is still family farms. Owned
by white people. 99% according to the school report.

Get out an atlas and look up the hill towns- Alpina, Bee Branch, Clinton,
Deer, Eureka Springs, Flippin, Greer's Ferry, Heber Springs....
REPEATEDLY, you see ZERO rates of violence. Dropout rates in the single
digits, graduation rates over 90%, attendance at 95%. with less than 1%
minorities. You still see rebel flag decals on the window behind the gun
rack in the pickups or on flagpoles in the yard. (Which is curious cause
these NW Arkansas hillbillies didnt have slaves and seceded from the
Confederate govt in Little Rock)
If you want a white nation, this is pretty close, altho they are also
1/2 Cherokee. But we all get along. The area was settled early in the
19th century by Scots & Irish, who knew a thing or two about white
aristocracy dispossessing people. so when the Trail of Tears came thru,
lotsa Cherokee were taken in... to the gene pool.
