I listen to NPR some of the time - I switch back and forth from NPR to conservative stations. Neither should be supported by the government. And yes, NPR is liberal to the bone and sickenly smarmy. The editor, activist James O'Keefe, spliced together clips to suggest that NPR was prepared to take money from an Islamist group allegedly founded by members of the "Muslim Brotherhood in America." And they WERE! They were eager and slavering over the money. It's surprising they didn't get on their knees, crawl under the table and blow them right in the restaurant. This is an example of the kind of lying you get from NPR. He's trotting out the 'we didn't do anything wrong and besides we fired the people responsible' line. Just like ACORN did. Just like Planned Parenthood did.

Will NPR tell you Obama wanted to give Q'Daffy $1.7M to improve his air force in February? ------------- While President Obama calls Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi a threat to his own people, just one month before attacking Libya the president asked Congress to increase U.S. aid for Qaddafi's military to $1.7 million. According to State Department figures, the money was earmarked to train Libyan military officers, improve its air force, secure its borders and to counter .... foxnews.com ---------------- This is the kind of story liberals hate Fox News for covering. Let us know if NPR covers it. Now if it were Bush, it would be front page headline material and be the first news story on every channel.

Surveys show that millions of conservatives choose NPR, even with powerful conservative alternatives on the radio. That doesn't imply or even suggest its not biased. Only that bias or not it can still be useful or interesting. One point is that a lot of what is broadcast on NPR stations isn't about politics or even news. When it is politics or news its reasonably often fairly well done even if it is biased, and there is at times some efforts to show the other viewpoint. I used to sometimes listen to liberal talk radio to try to get some balance, but its seemed even more biased and emotional than some of the conservative talk radio I occasionally listen to. NPR often has a better tone, more serious analysis and less ranting, that doesn't mean its not biased but its calmer, and at least at times, examines issues in more depth.
