NPR just keeps on sliding more and more to the left as it unfolds into a complete crap show
NY Post
I recently asked a prominent activist investor — someone who regularly demands from the public companies he targets various forms of boardroom change — what he would demand from a financially troubled radio network that needs to broaden its audience and make more money.
His answer: He would issue an ultimatum that the CEO and management team no longer produce polarizing content because it alienates many of those all-important listeners.
Meanwhile, if you have an employee who is telling management how current programming is turning off those consumers, don’t ever think about shooting the proverbial messenger.
Listen to him; maybe even give him a raise.
I’m withholding the activist investor’s name because he has enough problems on his hands to get in the middle of the unfolding crap show involving National Public Radio.
Suffice to say, the network, once known for its reliably wonkish takes on culture, politics and business, is doing just the opposite.
