    Yeah, npr, bbc, and msnbc are very odd entries in that list. I think homie might be painting msm with a slightly too broad brush lol. They have their issues, but I've never heard xenophobia out of npr.

    NPR as an entity is really good about reporting on Islamophobia compared to like...ALL of US MSM. Some NPR hosts however still fall into the biases of post-9/11 xenophobic rhetoric, especially when it comes to brown people who support Gaza.

    I still wouldn't put them on the same level as BBC and MSNBC, and DEFINITELY not Fox and CNN.
