I understand that they're going for "fairness" but it's getting really frustrating that @NPR are interviewing people whose "other side" of the situation is a FLAT. OUT. LIE. Fact check them in real time! Don't let them get the misinformation spread.
It is IRRESPONSIBLE to have a middle school teacher come on your show and say "I don't see the right setting someone's house on fire like the left" and not fact check that, when DHS has been EXPLICIT: white supremacist violence in the biggest domestic terror threat we are facing.
"I am particularly concerned about white supremacist violent extremists who have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years."

There *IS NO EQUIVALENT* of this on the left. STOP SAYING IT.
The same people who say "MSM is fake, they're just pushing a narrative" will turn around and say "You can't try to convince me BLM is peaceful, I've seen the violence on TV" and it is wild. Do you have any idea just how many people have marched? How many days, weeks, and months?
And yet you play the same dozen clips of rioting and looting over and over? How many times were you shown the peaceful ones? The "boring" ones? The ones happening every day, day in and day out, with nothing "happening" but desperate people demanding equal justice under the law.
I rely on stations like @NPR for accurate, up to date news and I am a sustaining member of @WBUR, and I am frustrated by the mishandling of these topics. There must be a better strategy for combatting misinformation. #BlackLivesMatter #WhiteSupremacy #DomesticTerrorism
