How NPR lost America's trust

It helps when you realize that social/political issues are infinitely complex, and most of what we end up arguing about and taking sides over are not reasonably provable one way or the other. We each have our gut instinct and we choose talking points which support it. Those talking points are mostly true, for any given side of any given issue. If two sides of a political issue are mutually exclusive, then only one can be true, but all the talking points that support each side can still be true.
