   Kinda feel these days like the quality of NPR news analysis has dropped with the relative age and experience of their reporters. I hear younger people on air and they don't sound smarter than the people they've replaced.

   Maybe it's partly delivery - post-Millennials have a general informality even in this format that I don't think is appropriate.

   But it's clear some of these kids either don't have a strong command of facts or an ability to express them coherently. And that's a problem.

     @flargh I feel like the quality is down with any outlet on any topic.

     @WarnerCrocker @flargh The main reason that I stopped listening to @npr is because of reporters like Steve Inskeep, who is definitely not a millennial. NPR started pandering to the far right, and that's when their news coverage started suffering imho.
