Tom Elliott is among those who have spotted what might be the most “NPR” thing ever:
.@NPR setup a private snitch line for ratting out workers not obeying their anti-science mask rules https://t.co/9UZQ7ZmsiO

NPR no doubt agrees with Biden’s initial call to “unity,” and as they seem to know, if you can’t get everybody on board, those non-compliers need to be ratted out. At least that’s according to an internal memo Dylan Byers is sharing:
NPR is maintaining a very strict mask policy, and has set up an HR tip line for employees to report on colleagues who are not adhering to guidelines—with the possible result of discipline and even termination. This is from a memo sent out today: pic.twitter.com/eRRSgDCaxw

Wow, they seem really rational and science-y over at NPR (cue eye roll).
These are the media activists who want to tell you what’s true and what’s “disinformation” https://t.co/7jvo7HYAdI

It really does sum up NPR in perfect fashion:
NPR perfectly on brand here. Why would anybody be shocked that they are
A) mask nazis
2) hypochondriacs and
C) narcs?— Titan (@BOOB_level) May 19, 2022
How long will NPR keep this up? Their mask regulation/virtue signaling stamina is indeed impressive.
Blue on blue fire.

One of the most unintentionally perfect glimpses into the modern American media that I've ever seen https://t.co/bPHrFdU99r

This is a real head-scratcher if you think about it:
Yep, same people. Irony can be so ironic sometimes!
