... Does today's media reflect America?
April 10, 2024
Dear Patriot,
For decades we have watched the far left bent of the media. It has been a rare person, Bari Weiss is one, to emerge from the protected bubble of media and call them out. Today, we point you to a long piece by an NPR insider admitting out loud, what we have all known.
Additionally today...
we have an update on the numbers of political prisoners taken by the Biden Regime.
a story on a truly bad person who fights and wins too many times for the left.
an example of a poorly educated US Senator.
NOTE: Our supporters say nicest things! But more importantly, they share information! That is a key to winning the war.
Email to DTR:
You guys publish goooood stuff!!
I reference some of it when writing our governor and state senator. Our governor takes note and tries. I will say that much.
We no longer contribute to political campaigns. Instead we donate to proven organizations that move the needle…like YOU!

1- This is a long story about how National Public Radio (NPR) went from journalism to left wing advocacy, as seen from the inside.
Ignore his swipes at Trump, this writer is an avowed leftist after all.
Uri Berliner, a 25 veteran at the NPR, gives example after example of how this progression happened. Read it all.
For years, Rush Limbaugh pointed this out to his audience. It did not start with the election of President Trump. This has happened to all of the Fake News/Drive Bys/Mainstream Media for decades.
NBCMSNBCCNNCBSABCNYTIMESWAPOWSJ and even FOXNEWS have allowed this shift from genuine, unbiased reporting, to public relations for insane leftists.
BUT, it is rare for an “insider” to pull back the curtain and admit all of this in public.

I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust.
QUOTE: It’s true NPR has always had a liberal bent, but during most of my tenure here, an open-minded, curious culture prevailed. We were nerdy, but not knee-jerk, activist, or scolding.
In recent years, however, that has changed. Today, those who listen to NPR or read its coverage online find something different: the distilled worldview of a very small segment of the U.S. population.
For decades, since its founding in 1970, a wide swath of America tuned in to NPR for reliable journalism and gorgeous audio pieces with birds singing in the Amazon. Millions came to us for conversations that exposed us to voices around the country and the world radically different from our own—engaging precisely because they were unguarded and unpredictable. No image generated more pride within NPR than the farmer listening to Morning Edition from his or her tractor at sunrise.
Back in 2011, although NPR’s audience tilted a bit to the left, it still bore a resemblance to America at large. Twenty-six percent of listeners described themselves as conservative, 23 percent as middle of the road, and 37 percent as liberal.
By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal. We weren’t just losing conservatives; we were also losing moderates and traditional liberals.
An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don’t have an audience that reflects America.
That wouldn’t be a problem for an openly polemical news outlet serving a niche audience. But for NPR, which purports to consider all things, it’s devastating both for its journalism and its business model.
