Default Why is 'NPR' So Conservative?

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.

It's true that NPR, like much of the media, is bending over
(backwards?...nah...just bending over...) to appear ''fair and
balanced''. This is based on the flawed premise that there's 2 sides
to the truth.

Further proof that we are screwed.

I believe in the World Service, but even they fall prey to Bush World
paranoia.
