minus-squaregi1242@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up33·1 year agothere have been several articles exposing plastic recycling as green washing. unfortunately they never make it to mainstream media https://www.npr.org/2022/10/24/1131131088/recycling-plastic-is-practically-impossible-and-the-problem-is-getting-worse i saw a chart somewhere showing less than 1% of plastic in use today is recycled but I can’t find it now
minus-squareJames R Kirk@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·1 year agoSad that NPR is not considered “mainstream” these days. Maybe Joe Rogan will post something to Facebook about it?
minus-squarejagged_circle@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·edit-21 year agoNPR is definitely mainstream I think the word you’re looking for is “corporate” or “for-profit”. Thats what they’re not.
minus-squareJames R Kirk@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agofwiw I agree, but it doesn’t appear to be considered mainstream by the guy I was replying to.
minus-squaregi1242@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoha. i was wrong. NPR has 44 million weekly listeners. that probably qualifies as mainstream media. I thought npr had 10 times fewer listeners than that. (fyi NPR is the only radioi listen to) https://blog.marketenginuity.com/by-the-numbers-who-is-actually-listening-to-public-radio

minus-squarejagged_circle@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoYes Joe Rorgan is mainstream. And for-profit trash.

This might have some kinds of implications for the current state of affairs in the USA. Can’t put my finger on exactly what though.
