NPR recently gave an intellectual endorsement to the book "In Defense of Looting", which advocates a leftist-socialist-like premise. They'll host a dingbat like that, but when an intellectual capitalist like Yaron Brook (who eviscerated "In Defense of Looting" on his YouTube broadcast ) writes a book explaining the ethical and economic reasons why redistribution of wealth is unfair and economically destructive, NPR completely ignores him. What more do you want?
Objectivist commentator Yaron Brook eviscerated the author's premise on his YouTube show in case anyone wants to hear an alternate point of view NPR failed to provide.

>"'If I went on a speaking tour and said that the Left is advocating for stealing stuff in mass in order to get people what they need and that you can't complain because altruism demands that you give people what they need,' people would have said that's insane, that's science fiction, nobody would actually advocate that. Well, here it is."
Leftist intellectuals are ultimately responsible for the looting and rioting:
>"It's interesting how this book came out in the midst of rioting and looting. She must have written it...over the last few years. It takes a long time to wirte a book like this. So it means that these intellectuals have been talking about the morality, the legitimacy, the efficacy of looting, of rioting for years now. The fact that she's written a book means that this has been under discussion for a long time. > >It's no wonder these people are rioting and looting without thinking about consequences. They think that this is just. They think that this is right. They've been told by the intellectuals...they've been told by their professors...they've been told by the thinkers that this is OK...that this is right. Ideas have consequences, Ideas shape the world. Ideas drive movements. Ideas drive people and ideas are not in a vacuum. It's intellectuals that move the world. It's intellectuals that drive this behavior. It's intellectuals that are responsible for what is going on in the world right now. This is an intellectual, philosophical battle."
How come that dingbat's book is welcome on NPR and she gets interviewed and Yaron doesn't get interviewed for his book on ethics and economics? When will NPR have him on the radio?
