NPR fraud

The issue is not "climate change," as everybody agrees that climate change has occurred continuously during the entire history of the planet. But "climate change" has become lefty shorthand for "man-made global warming," and that's obviously what it means to Schiller. His contention that "all educated scientists accept that" is preposterous on its face, a virtual parody of true believer lib-talk.
Then he says, "On the political side, however..." "However"? Now, that's very funny, because his outfit is on the political side 24/7. The left political side.
"Our point of view requires that we cover the debate..." Well, there's no mystery about what NPR's "point of view" is. But even so, the issue is not whether the debate is covered, the issue is how it's covered, and there's also no mystery about NPR's methods in that regard. He admits as much when he goes on to say that they cover it "for no other reason than to have Americans understand that there are still people who believe that it is not a fact."
What he's describing is not news/issue coverage, it's just NPR propagandizing from the liberal playbook. Schiller sounds a bit mystified that there are still "people" (you know who you are) who still do not believe in "climate change," despite NPR's best efforts to promote the global warming catechism.
NPR is a fraud that should have had its ridiculous taxpayer subsidy yanked a long time ago. If that's not possible, then there should be an equally large Federal subsidy for Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. Can you imagine the reaction to that? But, of course, those don't need any subsidy, having proven themselves in broadcasting's free marketplace.

Mr. Schiller [NPR Senior Vice President] exec chimes in later saying, "The main point here is that it is not our responsibility to present the opinion of a non-scientist through our science desk. All educated scientists accept that climate change as fact. On the political side, however, where it is not accepted as fact, and the fact that debate is happening is news and it's really important news. And our point of view requires that we cover that debate, if for no other reason than to have Americans understand there are still people who believe that it is not fact."
