Revised rating.

“I have revised my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars as TED has moved over the past year from a diverse group of speakers from differing world views to a much more political program focused on “progressive” ideology over evidence based factual reporting. Don’t get me wrong, I believe that those progressive ideas deserve a voice but not at the exclusion of other ideas that may fall on the more conservative political position or favor capitalism and market based solutions. The assumption that all their listeners are of the same political persuasion is the opposite of diversity. After a frustrating year, I plan to unsubscribed and now will only download the topics that are clearly legacy Technology, Entertainment and Design subject matter.
Update July 24. It’s unfortunate that NPR solicits feedback and takes none of it to heart. I’ve seen several critiques that mirror what I’ve written here, used to be a faithful listener but now it’s less science and fact driven and more politically inspired. I’ll save you the time of listening, everything bad that happens in our world is related to man made climate changes, systemic racism and capitalism. There, I just saved you hours of your life.”
