I heard (somewhere) a very convincing program which was demonstrating
that NPR isn't really liberal, that if liberal, it is to the extreme
right of that category. Not that it necessarily started out that way.
I believe the program was based on an analysis of the amount of time
given right or near right spokesmen versus the amount of time (and
number) of left/liberal commentary. The left has gone right, and the
true left is off the mainstream map.

If NMPR is so successful, why is it that they need government funding for
100% of their operation? Contrast that to conservative talk radio, which
barely has enough time to fit in all the interested advertisers.
