Since the NPR is a 3 minute listen without a transcript, here's the ACLU's text/image article: https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/wrongfully-arre...

And here's a 1st-person account from the arrested man: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/24/i-was-wro...

As soon as I saw it was audio only, i left the site. Why do sites do this? How many people actually stick to the page and listen to that?

I just did. 3 minutes wasn't that bad and I wasn't somewhere where it would be a problem.

NPR is a radio network. I have seen that often they do transcribe their clips. I am not sure what the process they have for that looks like, but it seems this particular clip didn't get transcribed.

Edit: looks like they do have a transcription mentioned elsewhere in the thread. So seems like some kind of UI fail.
