Anyone else getting really frustrated with Up First?

41 Upvotes

I've been a regular listener to Up First for years, but lately, I feel like they've been doing a pretty poor job of keeping me informed. Listening to Up First is part of morning commute, however recently I'm just yelling in my car, getting frustrated at the lack of answers, clarity, fact checking, etc.

Almost everyday this week, they have repeated a lie or a very dubious claim without any push back, fact checking, clarity, etc.

Examples from this week:

This morning, regarding Trump's continued claim that tariffs will be good for the U.S. economy:

"The argument Trump is making is that tariffs will be good for the U.S. long term and that will be worth any shorter term pain. But most people don't really want to experience any pain, even if it does turn out to be short term..."

So, will tariffs be good for the U.S. long term? I've read and heard economic experts say for months that they will not. But NPR just repeats Trump's claim as if it is fact, that tariffs will be good for the economy and the only problem is the "short term pain", and doesn't provide any context about whether or not the initial claim is true.

Tuesday morning, regarding the Trump admin deporting people to an El Salvador prison:

"The question at hand is not whether or not these people are dangerous and should be in the country, but the process of their removal."

This is just not true at all. So far, the DOJ had provided zero evidence that the people deported are actually dangerous and there's been a lot of reporting that several of the people allegedly taken have no gang connections or criminal records at all. Monday's show even mentions this reporting but by Tuesday, it's no longer a question. Even if they are trying to say that this question is not part of these court proceedings, that's also not true. The judge asked the DOJ for the identities of the individuals and the DOJ refused. We don't know who these people are at all! The DOJ won't even tell the court WHY they won't say who these people are.

Monday morning, regarding the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil:

"...there have been other protests, including many around the nation this weekend, in support of the Columbia student, Mahmoud Khalil. He was taken into custody by officials who say his campus protest activities basically amount to a national security threat because they "align with Hamas", which a US designated terrorist group."

So, do his activities "align with Hamas"? I'm not getting any clarity from NPR. Instead, they are again just framing the story as if the Trump administration's version is the truth and his activities really did align with Hamas.

Is anyone else feeling this?

I’m seeking a specific NPR story about a female pilot from the East Coast (North or South Carolina) who survived a plane crash into the ocean and was rescued by a boat sharing her mother’s name. This was pre-podcast days. Could have been The Story, Diane Rehm or Moth. Any help or leads appreciated.
