I think LB posted an article awhile back that said the average income of people who listen to NPR is something like $156,000 a year. That alone disqualifies allot of Americans. And I don't know if it is true, but when they hire on air personalities they must look for that soft, sophisticated drone in their candidates. Either that or they use sound filters. It's annoying as hell......they sound like they are talking down to their audience...........very snobbish.

NPR can be heard in almost every town in the country yet its worldview is a secular cosmopolitanism that is foreign to many Americans, particularly those in non-urban areas or in the “Red States.” The hosts of All Things Considered, for example, would have no trouble relating to an obscure avant garde musician, while a popular gospel singer would be considered an anthropological curiosity.
