NPR Boring Stories, Mental Health in Liberal Women and Bank Closures
NPR was criticized for airing "boring" human interest stories, such as a 30-minute segment on a local bank closure and a report on pandemic-related exhaustion. A 2020 Pew Research study was cited, claiming that over 50% of white liberal women under 30 have been diagnosed with a mental health condition. The discussion suggested a correlation between progressive social pressures and increased rates of anxiety and depression.
