Liberal leaning news outlet National Public Radio (NPR) has now deleted a tweet calling the much beloved and respected former prime minister of Japan Shinzo Abe a ‘Divisive Arch-Conservative’ immediately following his death at the hands of an assassin.
As The Daily Wire reports:
Publicly funded NPR deleted a tweet Friday morning calling former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a “divisive arch-conservative” after Abe was assassinated.
The original tweet read as follows, according to a screenshot from Kimberly Ross.
“Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a divisive arch-conservative and one of his nation’s most powerful and influential figures, has died after being shot during a campaign speech Friday in western Japan, hospital officials said.”

NPR later issued a separate tweet regarding Abe’s death.
Shinzo Abe, the former Japanese prime minister and ultranationalist, was killed at a campaign rally on Friday.

Conservatives on Twitter immediately jumped to Abe’s defense, shredding NPR in the process:
NPR referring to Japan’s most popular PM, who won his elections by large margins, as “divisive” indicates the inability of media outlets to genuinely report any longer. Everything is a mural for their projection. So pathetic and so sad.

Maybe a reason the conservatives are gaining some new liberals. How rude and inaccurate can you be? Not an inspiring quality.
I hope you mean former liberals.
I’ll never be an NPR fan again…too woke…sorry to all the great programs of the past, but they’ve lost me and many, many of my peers and contemporaries…
They have been far-left for years.
The 2023 Congress needs to DEFUND both NPR and PBS! Liberal propaganda outlets don’t serve the people!
Amen!!
Especially since our taxes pay this – Not Congress. US.
Congratulations! You finally got it!!
No more NPR for me either. Too bad.
America needs a media czar to rid Americans of WOKE MEDIA
WE are the media czar. If enough people stop supporting these platforms they will reform their ways or go under.
You have that right. Now, let’s get more people to join us, the non-viewers.
not necessarily true. look at CNN and MSNBC. their viewership is pathetic. although I will say the new head of CNN has said he will be making some drastic changes. will wait and see.
A “Media Czar” would only expand Woke.
Those stations ARE losing. However, people are finally waking up, so…
No. A head of media – maybe – but this is the US – no more Czars…. that’s not in the constitution.
Why do we still pay for NPR if they just spout communist propaganda (misinformation)? Its no longer useful/truthful and needs to be shut down or privately financed
That right! They also do their own fund-raising from viewers, so we should NOT be funding either station with TAXPAYER funds.
Two words: big surprise.
Is NPR IN ON Killing
NPR aka Nothing but Propaganda Radio.
NPR – National Psocialist Radio
This is nothing compared to the unspeakably vile things so many right-wing organizations and individual conservative commentators have said about such good Democratic people as Joe & Jill Biden, Barack and Michelle Obama, Bill & Hillary Clinton , Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and others !!!
Time to DEFUND both NPR and PBS!
NPR is commie
I stopped listening to NPR opinions and news back in the 70’s. After returning from S.E. Asia I had my eyes opened wide to the reality of “the lying press”.
I sought out international news sources which most have now been caught up in the same progressive, Marxist propaganda.
Like most media outlets, NPR could use a mass shooting instead of our schools churches.
For what reason is the government stop paying subsidizing NPR and PBS, enough is enough.
