I begrudgingly gave this a up vote, we are at war with the US we should really not be using their media to cheer us on, by going to that page to read the article you are funding the enemy. I only went because I have a pihole setup that will block any ads that they are making off of me and all the tracking stops there.

I understand the sentiment, I don't know if it helps but there are some silver lining:

  • that is a text link, there are no ads.
  • NPR is one of the few news company in NA that is not owned by an USAsian (or other foreign) billionaire.
  • Trump hates NPR
  • NPR cater less to those crazy fucks than our CBC
  • it is good to have some allies in the inside.

I applaud the spirit, but NPR is the least egregious sources of actual news for Americans.

I also aplaud your excellent hole usage in general.
