Can’t believe this is NPR

“This is pretty much “if it bleeds, it leads” cheap journalism. I love NPR and this is so far beneath them I can’t even imagine who gave this the go-ahead. There is a good way to do really thought provoking, introspective pieces that center around a reporter being part of the story. And there’s a cheap, desperate way to do it. Unfortunately this is the latter. The reporter sounded excited to be watching people shoot up drugs, she provided step by step how-to instructions on how to cook pain killers including ways to remove the outer pill covering and filter out the additives, and she was completely ham handed in all her interactions with the people she was interviewing (people who were generally impaired by drugs, which I guess makes it easy to get their consent and makes for better radio) and barely touched on any of the background of the epidemic, the fact that these people were the epicenter of the recent HIV epidemic or anything other than “what does it feel like to be high?” and “so I hear you lost your children, what’s up with that?” I was so repulsed by the reporter by the end. Completely the wrong person for the job and the podcast was just filled with so many cheap ‘shock’ set up shots. It was more like watching Geraldo Rivera trying to spark a fight on stage while sticking microphones in people’s faces. So outside NPR’s usual quality of design, writing, reporting or execution of ideas.”
