NPR’s Left Right Center Puts Anti-Trump Sarah Longwell on the Right– www.newsbusters.org

“Public” broadcasting in the United States demonstrates routinely that it cannot stand conservatives and their arguments. The spectrum of debate on their show is often from far left to liberal Democrat. This is especially comical on the NPR talk show Left Right & Center, where their October 16 show filled the “Right” side with…..Sarah Longwell, a former Republican who campaigned with and for Kamala Harris in 2024.

The show’s host, David Greene, introduced her as the right’s representative: “She is the New York Times-bestselling author of How to Eat an Elephant, One Voter at a Time. She is publisher of the Bulwark, and also hosts the Focus Group Podcast.” She was fiercely anti-Trump on this show. When they discussed the execution of Islamist mass shooter Nidal Hasan, he said Trump supporters have a “perverse bloodlust” and are “fundamentally cruel, fundamentally indecent.”

This is the leading blurb for Longwell’s book: “The playbook for consigning MAGA-style politics to the ash heap of history (where it belongs).” They say she “draws on her own unlikely political journey from a lesbian Republican operative to the vanguard of the anti-MAGA movement.” Does that sound like the opposite of NPR?

And yet, in a fundraising announcement at the start of the podcast, Greene has the audacity to boast that there are “A lot of places where you could go for political news right now. A lot of takes, a lot of outrage, a lot of people who seem very, very certain that they’re right. Well, here at Left Right & Center we try do to something different. Every week, we bring people together who genuinely disagree…” Wow. Shameless.
