Collaborators
All fascist regimes rely on collaboration from their ostensible opponents; otherwise, how could a handful of violent criminals gain the uncontested authority to treat others as subhuman?
As collaborators par excellence, NPR and its CPB sibling PBS extend the marginalization of dissidents required for totalitarian control. Lest some think it a mindless oversight on the part of NPR, recall that their programs are 1. discussed and planned in advance, 2. funded and executed by professional staff, 3. edited and polished complete with soundtrack, and 4. scheduled for broadcast and dutifully advertised and archived.
