https://www.npr.org/2018/08/10/637390626/a-year-after-charlottesville-unite-the-right-rally-will-be-held-in-d-cso this is the state of NPR in 2018
they actually bring on Kessler, and whatever objections I have against Kessler, NPR manages to be absurdly biased and pull out all the stops to skew it. The host interrupts the recording of the interview to insert her commentary after-the-fact to claim that Murray is "debunked" and insinuate that racial differences in intelligence is somehow unscientific, despite the overwhelming scientific consensus to the contrary. There's no attempt to make the distinction between arguments over causality, nature vs nurture, etc, and the preponderance of repeated studies and testing showing the clearly defined results.
imagine if a journalist was hosting an interview with Hillary Clinton and started asking her a question about Benghazi, then on the air they pause the interview, have the host interject "
And fact-checkers have shown that in Benghazi, multiple Americans were killed due to criminal State Department mismanagement", then resume it with Hillary Clinton saying that no such mismanagement occurred. And even though in reality, the Benghazi bullshit was overblown and there was never any evidence of criminal mismanagement and the claim made by the host was patently false.
its basically this;

Kessler could be a raging neo-nazi or a dirty white nationalist or be the alt-lite white-civil-rights activist he's presenting himself as, I don't care, the science on racial intelligence has been long established and Kessler was presenting a reasonably accurate picture of it (average values being striated, but very large variability in individuals of all races), like he was quoting the 'mainstream science on intelligence' verbatim, and the host was straight up going full blown science-denial.
national NPR radio has taken an unfortunate shift. local NPR is a bit better. and i dont mind hindsight print reporting from them.
