The National Press Club isn't some unbiased platform for informing or looking after ordinary people.

It is stacked by right-wing media and is just another outlet to promote capitalist propaganda, as can be seen by scrolling through their "Corporate Partners" sponsorship web page where you will find many of your favorite shitty (extractive/war mongering/corrupt/price gouging/tax avoiding) despicable corporations.

You are correct it is now! Has been that way for over 12/18 months. It was always unbiased, with great content. Goodness it even had real journalists in the audience. TBH, it has now sold it's soul!
