    I will be surprised if this post gets any replies from the left, just not as surprised as I am that NPR still has enough integrity to produce this article.

    I am on Twitter a lot, and the usual liberal crowd were mocking Trump for instructing the general public to consider using a scarf in place of a mask if none are available.

    Once again, Trump is right. Just like he has been right all along on balancing our trade and protecting our national interests first.

    NPR has always been a pretty reliable source of news. They just have a left of center lean when it comes to their word choice sometimes.

    Wish Trump being right was a more regular occurrence. Believe it or not most Americans, including liberals, would love to have an intelligent and successful president; regardless of their political persuasion.

    I follow NPR and they try to present themselves as fair, but they are not. What's sad is that these media influencers think that the rest of us are incapable of thinking for ourselves.

    Their non-news segments have a very clear left bias, but their factual reporting is usually beyond reproach. Just have to listen with a critical ear.
