FORMER NPR CEO DITCHES AND SWITCHES: How A Liberal Learned to Love the ‘Right’ [Video]The former NPR CEO Ken Stern ditches and switches after getting out of the Liberal Bubble He recently spoke with Tucker Carlson about his escape from the  liberal bubble . We give him huge credit for ditching the left to come over to the RIGHT side:STERN RECENTLY SPOKE WITH BREITBART S ALEX MARLOW:Stern described himself as a  lifelong Democrat  who  spent time in Democratic politics, ran NPR,  and  lived in a 93 percent Democratic ward in a 100 percent Democratic household.  Concern for the increasing political polarization of the country led him on a journey into red-state America to take a clear look at the other side of the political divide.He said his  a-ha!  moment was the latest version of a pledge recited annually by children at a block party in his D.C. neighborhood:  All are welcome here on Hobart Street, man or woman, gay or straight, white or black   everyone but Republicans. It was a joke, but it wasn t a joke,  he said.  It really signified, I think, how people are starting to feel about side. For me it said, you know what, something s got to change, at least for me. I live in a Democratic bubble. I need to get out there and meet the other half of America and see if they are  deplorables,  or if they are Americans like me. That s really what this year is about. Stern said NPR is  different from other media organizations  because its staff lives across the entire country, rather than being concentrated in a few media and political hubs. The New York Times, based in New York, 90 percent of their staff will be in New York. NPR is actually a membership organization with stations across the country. So it is actually unusual in the sense that it does have representation across the country,  he explained. I think the challenge, and I sort of challenged this week in the New York Post, is that even though they are geographically distributed, they   like most mainstream journalist organizations   draw from a pool of largely liberal people,  he continued.  When that happens you risk groupthink, you risk thinking about what stories are important that really don t represent the rest of the country as a whole. Stern contended that  bubbling  has become a bipartisan phenomenon,  because we are so politically vulcanized   Democrats hang out with Democrats, Republicans hang out with Republicans   it is easy to engage in the most vicious stick-figure cartoonish depiction of the other side. The Washington Post did a poll last year, I think, where they asked Democrats,  give me one word to describe Republicans,  and they did the same for Republicans. The words that came out from both sides were ridiculous. I mean, if you re a Republican you re a  bigot,  if you re a Democrat you re a  traitor.  I forget the exact words, but all of the words that came out were really cartoons of the other side,  he recalled. I think when Hillary Clinton said that she thought half the people that supported Trump were from the  basket of deplorables,  and then apologized for it, I think it does reflect how many people think about conservatives,  he said.  Truthfully, I think it goes both ways. That s a shame because we don t know the other side. Stern s journey to the flip side of politics took him  pig hunting in Texas  and  going to small Assembly of God churches  to meet people with different viewpoints. It meant hanging out in Pikeville, Kentucky, sort of a declining coal mining community. It meant going to Youngstown, Ohio. It meant tons of things,  he said.  The subtitle of the book is  How I Left the Liberal Bubble and Learned to Love the Right.  It didn t mean that I agreed with everyone I met, but it meant I met hundreds of people who I admired, and were doing great things in their community, and who in no way reflected the cartoon figure of what Middle America looks like. Stern said he took issues he was positive he was right about   including  climate change, poverty programs, and guns    and challenged himself by talking with people like gun-control skeptic John Lott. Jr. I went hunting. I went to gun shows. I talked to experts. I did my own research. And I really came away with a very different perspective, because I tried to look at it from other people s points of view. When you do that, you re going to change,  he said.He recalled pig hunting in George as an especially memorable experience for someone from an urban gun-control political environment, as he was tutored in gun safety by an eight-year-old, and found himself hunting with a diverse group that bore little resemblance to coastal caricatures of rural white men. I m an agnostic Jew from Washington, DC. I don t have a lot of experiences with evangelicals, so what I knew was from  Footloose  and from Jerry Falwell, who had been dead for ten years by the time I did this,  Stern said of his foray into church life, culminating in a visit to the Urbana Conference with some 15,000 evangelical youths. I thought they would be like you see in the movies. But these kids were there, they were talking about refugees   how to help them, not how to turn them away. They were talking about diversity on campus. They were talking about how to dedicate their lives to feeding the poor and housing the homeless. It was a really admirable group of people I saw. It taught me that, look, there are 50 million evangelicals, which means there are 50 million stories. You just can t bucket everyone in simple ways,  he said.Stern said that media people tend to  cluster in groups and reinforce their own stereotypes, their own confirmation bias, their own groupthink. That s a challenge that s really hard to acknowledge, but hard to deal with. And that s, I think, a fundamental challenge for the CNNs and others of the world,  he said.  But I think in the age of Trump they ve also found, if we can be direct about it, conflict is good for business. President Trump   it s actually sort of a self-reinforcing circle   challenges the  failing New York Times  and the New York Times responds, and it s great for business for both of them. And that s a problem. politics
