@NPR Should we point out the assumption from this tweet from a member of the media? The assumption is that simply by being a member of the media like this tweeter is, means one always speaks the truth. Last time I heard NPR is was rumors and speculation with gleeful hope that Stone's arrest would advance their political goals rather than a focus on truth.

People don't g become saints because they get a government job instead of a corporate job, even in socialist governments like Venezuela. People don't become saints because they work in media taking a position of telling everyone what they should think. Those who are saints gather weekly to confess their hypocrisy.

We shouldn't turn off our discernment, it's always difficult to figure out what's "truth, propaganda or rumor ", the media is not inherently decent, honest, truthful, or reliable. We need to stop expecting a trustworthy news source and employ more critical thinking.
