15. Gimpyknee did you plan on sounding so hostile by using the phrase " What's your problem?"

I am finding that many of the nationally based NPR shows are reflecting a more rightwing/conservative point of view. I do not wish to support that point of view.
My local NPR station, WOSU 89.7 fm does produce programs with various points of view. For example 'Weekly Reporters Roundtable' where reporters from various news organizations across the state where moderate & conservative & liberal editorial points over view are presented. Another one is 'Columbus on the Record' a weekly show with the show from 6/26/2025 one that I've listened to 3 times. [Ohio Lessons from NYC Mayor’s Race
Season 20 Episode 38 | 26m 46s
New York City is not Ohio. Its politics are very different, but there could be some lessons for Ohio Democratics. Young far left progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani beat the older establishment candidate this week. We also look at Ohio income tax cut are headed to the governor, state money for pro sports stadiums and arenas and the new higher education anti-DEI law goes into effect.

The local NPR stations are still doing a fairer job them the 3 nationally based shows I mentioned.
