This kind of remark is traditional and normally would be unremarkable - saying that we are all Americans, that for all our differences we share a common purpose. It’s the historical moment that makes this sentence resonate.

When leaving me voice mail saying you’re an ordinary swing-state listener upset by bias you heard in the car today: a) It’s good to pick a specific story b) You’ll sound more credible saying my name as if you’d heard it before c) Best of all: pick a day I am on the air.

Fox has been repeatedly showing footage of people climbing high steel border barriers. Presumably this has the propaganda effect of making it seem the country is being invaded. But does it really demonstrate that "walls work" to constantly show people going over them?

Promoting an unproven drug cocktail, the president asked, “What do you have to lose?” Now specialists have answered that question: it “increases the risk of sudden cardiac death.”

Am spending the day judging a high school debate tournament - young people arguing the merits and demerits of Medicare for All - and I think the country will be all right if we can hold it together long enough to leave it to them.

Thanks. I post this because it reminds me that years ago, people said things like “I love NPR but 90% of the stories are on gay marriage.” Finally someone counted, and about 1% were. Maybe the story you think is on 90% of the time is the one that makes you uncomfortable.

@NPRinskeep My problem with NPR is that it's 90% identity politics. I'm tired of race and gender issues being conflated with class issues. NPR self-censors to avoid offending wealthy donors. Just like the Democratic party!

In memo to staff, @NPR standards editor says it is now necessary to say “shithole” on the radio so that listeners know the day’s news, but preceded by a warning to listeners, and “no more than one use of the word each hour in the main shows is enough.”

The plan is massively ambitious and faces political blockades. Proponents believe it is what's necessary to start saving the world from the threat of climate change and to reshape the U.S. economy.

The inaugural poem by ⁦ @TheAmandaGorman ⁩ is out as a book March 30. When it reached my house a kid said: “I read that several times. We read it in school.” Also recalled the inauguration, how Gorman said certain words. Then she asked to see the book, and read it again.

Proud to serve the taxi drivers and college professors. And soldiers and farmers - 99 million Americans who pay attention to the world. Even critics. Once interviewed a Congressman who criticized NPR, then started talking of an NPR story he’d heard that morning that moved him.

Ok, Politico. NPR is “An outlet that Trump allies mock as the preferred listening station of liberal college professors and taxi drivers” ...and many other people with radios?

Guide to upsetting election stories: 1. Wait before sharing. 2. People want to manipulate you. 3. What's the source? 4. Is it a news org with editors? 5. Looks big on Twitter, but is it just a local incident? 6. Repeat #1 . Anything truly important will still be there in an hour.

Thanks. My job isn’t to say negative or positive things. It’s to say true things. Economy up? We report it. POTUS makes a false claim about the economy? We call it. Someone criticizes or defends him? We listen, ask real questions and call out errors. Every other official? Same.

President Trump has been able to appeal to journalists’ “own narcissism” by attacking them, says Jon Stewart. “They take it personally, and now he’s changed the conversation to, not that his policies are silly or not working … it’s all about the fight.”

Dropped off my daughter to eat with friends, and lingered to be sure she was okay. My car door opened; a woman with a bag of food climbed in out of the rain, shut the door and started talking before she realized it was the wrong car. Totally fine! Happy to be among people again.

Dad, you interviewed the Lumineers? Yes. You like them! Yes. Is it cool to interview people whose music you like? Yes. I’ve done that a few times. Like who? I don’t know, I interviewed Elton John once. Bruce Springsteen. Have you ever interviewed anyone I would actually know?
