NPR issues mea culpa, says 'In Defense of Looting' interview 'did not serve NPR's audience'


PORTLAND POLICE CHIEF URGES ELECTED OFFICIALS TO 'HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE' FOR 'NIGHTLY VIOLENCE'Osterweil opened the interview with a contradictory explanation of what looting is. “When I use the word looting, I mean the mass expropriation of property, mass shoplifting during a moment of upheaval or riot. A SENATOR CONDEMNED LOOTING, THEN DELETED HIS TWEETMcBride said the editor of Code Switch, the section of NPR where the interview appeared, told her the interview was fact-checked, but they "should have done more." "Casual observers might conclude that NPR is more interested in fact-checking conservative viewpoints than liberal viewpoints," McBride notes in closing. "Or possibly, that bias on the part of NPR staff interferes with their judgment when spotting suspect information."
