I used to listen to and donate to NPR. No longer, they are clearly Israeli propaganda and in their eyes, despite the outrageous contradictions and double standards carried out by Israel, continue to defend them and the mass gen0cide they are carrying out- disgusting.

An interesting and important, curated look at what's happening, well presented.

How is this public radio when there is so many ads and a premium feed? I understand investigate reporting is expensive but this is crazy! Donations to npr are tax deductible- is the framework the same for this?

So, how can he talk about NATO countries?!?!

Language used in your titles, descriptions and from your hosts is disrespectful and upholds Israeli propaganda talking points. Esp the Ramadan episode - how disgraceful.

Too many ads for the length of the show

I paid the fee for the plus version of this podcast, and yet I heard a Capital One ad, in the Plus version. Is NPR following in Amazon’s footsteps, in which paying the extortion fee doesn’t kill the ads?

2/1/24 “Trump and his supporters…”- Same formula: Ashley Lopez does an entire report linking White Christians to Trump. Then she demonizes them both. This time is noteworthy because the “expert” she quotes is from the “Institute for Strategic Dialogue.” Go to influenceWatch or the ISD webpage and look up their funders. Why are few lefty activist billionaires, big tech, US and foreign governments so eager to link Trump to a certain race and religion? Racism is when our leaders begin to assign certain races to certain political parties then seek to gain power from the division and chaos that they ignited. Racism is when a state sponsored news organization takes to the air and labels one race or religious group the enemy. And finally, real racism is everyone who stands by and does nothing as it occurs. If npr had a shred of ethics they would never allow this toxic ideology to reach the airwaves. 10/25/23 “More Americans say they support political violence ahead of the 2024 election” - Ashley Lopez reports on another biased “survey” from the Public Religion Research Institute. She only interviews its “CEO and founder.” The two them use a lot of words to conclude, “Republicans who have favorable views of Donald Trump…support political violence.” So NPR is now stoking political violence by saying it’s going to be from the other team? Just so happens that her only source, PRRI, is funded by all the same nutty left-wing nonprofits that pay the reporters salaries at NPR. 2/14/23 - A top of the hour story was essentially a hit piece on “White Christian nationalists” in the Republican party. Ashley Lopez reported on a biased survey from what seems to be a partisan hate group called the Public Religion Research Institute. They claim to have found “correlations between people who hold Christian nationalist views as well as Anti-Black, anti-immigrant, antisemitic views, anti-Muslim and patriarchal views.” Then, they proceeded to conflate all of the aforementioned terms together. They close the story by adding the keywords “violence”,“fight”, “kill”, and “fellow Americans.” NPR is not only going after their political enemies but also their enemies along racial and religious lines. NPR is a shill for the left and their donors. Modern NPR is the newspaper that no one reads anymore.

If you like Up First, you’ll like this one. It goes deeper into a single topic of the day, but still gives you the info you need in under 15 minutes. Great hosts and great reporting.

Heartbreak and inspiring interview with Dr Jilani. Thank you

I found it disappointing that in the episode about ozempic that the host didn’t address the impact of the drug being used as a weight loss treatment on the availability of the drug for diabetic patients who rely on this drug for their livelihood, and how that ends up being a class and race issue

Don’t listen to this propaganda!

If you lean any further left, you’d fall off your chairs. Pathetic.

climate discussion: it is absurd creating an account to pay poor countries to do climate updates and disaster relief from it. even though i am *not* against doing that but that is just a band-aid. a simpler and more effective less way to get at the meat of the issue is to have the biggest polluters do the right thing. Thre top polluter is us, the US, 2nd China and 3rd russia, though russia and germany are close to tied for fossil fuels. mthe US, needs to get its act together and not be so darn concerned about what other countries are doing, i am looking at you john kerry who has made little progress for all the years as the climate czar. john, please step down! Please do an internet search for yourself to see the list of polluting countries.

Incredibly tone deaf piece on Israeli hostages “rebuilding their lives” while over half of Gaza’s buildings have been destroyed, 20,00 people, 8,000 of which are children, have been killed by Israeli bombings, and nearly 8,000 Palestinians are currently held hostage in Israeli prisons. But you don’t bother to ask how those people will rebuild their lives. You don’t bother to ask why Palestinians have had to resort to armed resistance after 75 years of occupation. You can’t even say the word genocide. Absolutely disgusting and cowardly journalism.

A great daily snapshot of the news, often through the lens of a single issue, presented concisely. I rather miss the local news roundup which used to end each episode, but in its absence I’ve discovered more of my local station’s news podcasts — plus a few other community-focused nonprofit news platforms — so it’s all good. No notes. I dig this show, I dig listening right away or later at night or five in a row on a weekend, one way or another I listen to this show, and I feel all the better informed and prepared to take on the world for it. Good job, keep it up!!

Inflation hasn’t “dipped”. Prices went up & prices have stayed up.

Russia and Ukraine have been at war with each other for over a year and half, and finally a podcast has been launched regarding the ‘rules of war.’ Wow! I’m shocked, I find this too little to late. 🙃

THANK YOU FOR THIS REPORTING!! It’s so important to counter the dehumanizing propaganda from Israel and the US State Department.

Producing a show about Israeli mental health while thousands of Palestinian babies have been slaughtered is insensitive, evil and vile. Israelis are at the beach and going to brunch, living their best lives. While a few miles away, entire families and homes are being destroyed. NPR is absolutely trash for posting this.

Fantastic podcast. Gives great and nuanced coverage of complex topics.

Love this recap of the stories I missed from not listening in the morning. Thrilled they don't include Sunday Morning (the host on Sundays has a HORRIBLE voice). Also posting this to counter those people who think this is a FB page and are posting their opinions on individual stories instead of the entire podcast.)

Ailsa chang is my favorite host of consider this 💕

NPR podcasts are the main way I get my important news, and often just thought-provoking stories

I expected more from this program than a rebroadcast of a story or stories that previously aired on the Morning Edition or All Things Considered. Unlike it’s counterpart, Up First, which is clear about the fact that it is simply highlighting that days top Morning Edition stories; this is literally just a rebroadcast of an earlier segment from a regular NPR broadcast that may be days, perhaps even weeks old. Now due to funding issues, this is sometimes the third or fourth time go round for a segment by the time it is aired here. If the point is to give an opportunity to rehear an important story, why not add additional information that didn’t make it to the original broadcast. I am reluctant to unsubscribe, because I do find the LA curated segment at the end of the broadcast to be informative; although, I can no longer rely on that segment making it into the podcast. It would be helpful if there was a time stamp, so I could simply forward to that segment.

Poor Natalie. Great editing. 😂 Been there. Live.

What happened to the integrity of NPR? It’s hard to listen to a podcast and expect honest reporting when it advertises not only an Israeli University, but one in Jerusalem. One can’t claim to show non-bias reporting while talking funding from an oppressive government. That’s like talking about the challenges for those seeking abortion now while listening to an ad declaring abortions are murder.

I feel upset and disappointed after listening to Ari Shapiro’s tone and word choice while interviewing David Simon for the Hollywood writer’s strike episode. These came off to me as disrespectful and unnecessarily hostile. If I’m listening to a guest being interviewed, I want to hear the best of their perspectives brought out by the host giving them the basic dignity that every person deserves. If that basic respect isn’t upheld, I’d rather listen elsewhere.

It’s great.Why not!

I wish this (and other NPR podcasts) would be open to recrafting their tone. There’s a way the hosts/reporters/journalists of their podcast speak to certain guests that is incredibly condescending, leading and sometimes dismissive. It’s easy to tell when the host (especially) Consider This podcast is engaged in the story/content versus when this host asks engages in a manner that’s leading or pitying of the interviewee. It’s so disappointing at times.

Just a great news podcast. Wide array of stories and news!

This show brings me insight and joy thank you so much

One star for good ‘intension.’ But could you try a bit harder than sharing your socks and pants resolution? All the rest were equally lame. Make it a new year resolution to be more sincere about what you think is worth reporting, or simply sharing.

It’s sort of astounding that NPR is actually becoming more ensconced in its bubble. The rigid orthodoxy is only becoming more pronounced and they’ve given up any pretense at all of even paying lip service to different points of view.

If NPR thinks it’s ok to air the audio of an abortion- the killing of a human life- I won’t be listening to any of their programs ever again. Absolutely disgusting and disturbing. NPR has a clear political bias and their shows reflect that.

If you want DNC talking points, this is for you.

listen to one episode, electoral college - the only discussed one side which is obviously the side that their listeners approve of. What about a deeper look to why it is the way it is? Yes you want majority rule, but we have a republic form govt for reasons. A good podcast would explore both side. Disappointed.

Really disappointed and saddened at todays episode on COVID. To give Monica Gandhi even 1 second of air time, touting her as an “infectious disease expert,” is laughable. She has persistently downplayed COVID and has been wrong every single phase of this pandemic (claiming India had herd immunity prior to deadly COVID wave; giving SEVEN reasons why we don’t need boosters BEFORE delta wave in US; labeling Delta variant as “reassuring;” stating the pandemic will essentially be over by Sep/Oct 2021; falsely stating omicron variant won’t swamp hospitals in vaccinated areas; and on and on…). Where did the quality of reporting/fact checking at NPR go? I don’t need a cheerleader when it comes to COVID, I appreciate sound evidence-based, objective, sound reporting.

Love it

If police are so afraid of being outgunned, then they should support gun control. This episode made me so angry. We support bad police behavior. If 400+ armed officers are afraid to confront one gunman, so much so that they allow children to be murdered, that is a problem. If 4+ armed officers are afraid of one “armed” black man they murder him, that is a problem. Police need to quit viewing themselves as heroes and reconsider their place in society and how they can use their voice to protect the public in changing the laws they are sworn to uphold.

I grew up listing and loving NPR. It’s sad that they’ve given up their integrity and sad to see what they’ve become.

Why are you focusing on one person who is in jail for breaking the law when we have other Americans who have not. There are two other Americans, and there is hardly a word. Is it because they are not in the entertainment side of life. So, we are willing to put an entertainer over a business man. Even if he was a Spy, who was he working for? The US? Also, the coverage on the Supreme Court. I disagree with some of the decisions made. I had the same feeling when it was more liberal. Or in your terms, less conservative. (8 liberal and 1 conservative and that would be less conservative). The court has a different view Of the constitution then other people. They say if it’s not there, they it’s not constitutional. I understand that. That means laws need to be change to get something different. That’s it. Let’s move forward and focus on why the Dems can not get anything pass when they hold all three.

The woman who was whispering made me uneasy. Like she’s held hostage as she is telling this story… Its very weird how low she’s talking

Five stars for the fools who think the pandemic ended a year ago back when they thought it wasn’t even real. In fact ten stars on a five star scale of outworldly fertile self-deception skills. I want a comedy show with this crap but Tucker Carlson is just mentally ill and not at all funny. Thank you for fighting domestic russian stooges with real data instead of the vapors they use.

A fantastic way to broaden your knowledge and learn of experiences you do not share

This episode made me feel so hopeful that individuals of different faiths can all speak to same needs for tolerance, recovery and hopefulness. Thanks so much.

This show has devolved into a liberal partisan show. I’m unsubscribing.

No child’s medical care should be weaponized or politicized…. unless apparently you’re talking about the vaccine lol which dems want to mandate… liberals are crazy
