What's this?

I call bullshit on that, not that it really matters.

Rare or non-existent are the entities, private or governmental that hire, or employ, or promote based on political affiliation. That said, present day MAGAts would not even work for NPR because of their bias against it, such as you express here.
"Hey there are no GOPers at NPR and we hate that place anyway!" Do you not see how dumb that notion is"
