NPR misleads by omission.



Since the 2018 election, I have heard NPR mention several times the fact that Republicans won the Senate while Democrats won the House. It came up again in commentary after Cohen's testimony, talking about whether it would affect elections. As in ALL the other times I heard, NPR did NOT mention that a MAJORITY of voters voted for Democrats. Republicans only gained seats in the Senate because of the fact that all states have the same number of Senators, no matter the vast differences in population, and because only 1/3 of the Senate seats are up for a vote in any one election, and this election happened to favor Republicans.
