The tone of NPR RI is too often " East Side Oblivious "


A letter to the editor in the Providence Journal this morning complains about this capitalist newspaper's bias in favor of  " liberal " Democrat Hillary Clinton.

 NPR in Rhode Island could use its " independence " for more objective news coverage of the presidential campaign. But they too see Hillary with a fatuous lack of critical judgment-like the rest of the mainstream news media - like the rest of Establishment USA, biased in favor of " Wall St. Hillary".

 NPR nationally is hardly independent of " ruling class " opinion- even when it covers our New Colonialist wars in the Middle East, the growing tension with China in the South China Sea and with Russia over the Ukraine.

Locally NPR can compensate for the pathetic degeneration of the Providence Journal. But it too fawns on neo-liberal - and friend of Hillary- Governor Gina Raimondo.

We desperately need local news media willing to show its populist fangs.On- local " talk radio " this morning I listen to former Mayor -and big property owner- Joe Paolino- comment with some sense of responsibility on the horror of Kennedy Plaza.

Sad to say the tone of NPR-RI is too often " East Side Oblivious ".
