| 0:00.0 | National Public Radio cracks down on internal dissent. I'm Scott Ott with Stephen Green and Bill Whittle. |
| 0:06.2 | This episode of Right Angle is brought to you by the members of Bill Whittle.com. And gentlemen, |
| 0:11.0 | there was a senior business editor who had been with National Public Radio NPR for some 25 years, |
| 0:18.8 | who published an article on a subreddit, I'm not a subreddit, |
| 0:23.9 | I believe it's called, called the Free Press, and basically said NPR has lost its moorings |
| 0:32.6 | as what it used to be, in his opinion, was a fairly fair and honest journalism platform and has become |
| 0:40.2 | just nothing but a mouthpiece for progressivism and an increasingly smaller group of progressives. |
| 0:47.2 | And his big ask for NPR Steve Green was, just don't tell people how to think. Now, Steve, this guy whose name |

| 1:59.5 | NPR ignored the Hunter Biden laptop thing, fearing that it might help Trump in the lead up to the election. |
| 2:05.8 | NPR stayed with the Anthony Fauci line that the COVID pandemic was caused by natural origin, basically, the wet markets in China instead of a possible leak from |
