I guess a case could be made that the American PEOPLE are in majority Conservative (witness last election) but the MEDIA which includes television, newspapers and periodicals are LIVING IN THE PAST. Only Fox news and talk radio seems to be in agreement with the majority of Americans. Probably that is because the leftist media is in the large cities which are slower to change with the times. jdn

NPR does an excellent job reporting the news. Sometimes the bias is annoying, but that's why radios have "on/off" switches. If you had no other source of news than NPR or Rush Limbaugh, I have no doubt you'd pick NPR. I know others would prefer Rush, but he's not a news reporter, doesn't pretend to be. With Rush, you just get Rush. With NPR, you get the whole world. I have it on while driving in my car, and I have a radio in the kitchen that I turn on while doing dishes and cleaning up. Sometimes I listen to music, but I like the NPR news - Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Fresh Air, Jim Lehrer's News Hour, and Marketplace. Nothing else on the radio comes close. My husband loathes it. But he listens to Michael Savage, who is a raving lunatic. I get so sick of angry white males raving about how the world is going to hell in a handbasket. This includes, by the way, Daniel Snore.
