As for NPR presenting both sides of the political spectrum, I can think of
some liberal (Nina Totenberg, Mara Liasson, Daniel Schorr, etc. ) or

presenting the conservative point of view there?

Is Bill Moyers with NPR?

But most likely, it's on AFRTS because the price is right and NPR is an
established news source with a steady liberal slant that can be taken with
a grain of salt. Though, there is one change that you may find some
affirmation in. Used to be that when a TV was installed in a
military/federal office, it was immediately tuned to CNN and there it
stayed. The only need for a remote was for on/off/volume. However, where I
work, all the big monitors are now on (surprise!) FOX. The small monitors
are usually on the Weather Channel...

-=jd=-

Where I work they installed tv's in the cafeteria at some point and
they carried CNN for a couple of years, then suddenly switched to
Fox about 6 months ago. Then about a month ago they switched back
to CNN. Maybe Nickelodeon is next.

I don't think price is the issue. The two NPR news programs are pretty
expensive (at least that's what the local affiliate
tells you when it's fundraising time). Also I don't know what kind of
budget constraints AFRTS operates under. Your point that NPR provides
one of the only national-scale radio news feed is certainly well-taken
though.

Nonetheless, I think if NPR really were as biased as some on this group
think, some stink would have been raised in the Pentagon. They don't
have to offer four hours of news a day. Fox has a radio feed, on
satellite, maybe they can switch to that. Probably make some of the
posters on this thread happier.

OK. I guess I don't really disagree
with what you're saying. While NPR may
be more or less a liberal outlet, or at
least have a liberal sensibility, its news
reporting is more complete than mostly
anything else in broadcast, and they do make
an effort to represent both sides of issues
which are controversial. Back when my company
was piping Fox news into our cafeteria, most
of their "news" coverage during the election
run-up seemed to be of the "John Kerry, threat or menace?"
variety.

By the way, even though RHF likes your logic
and reasoning (kiss of death right there),
your rooster analogy was
totally inapt. The rooster argument is a classic
"post hoc ergo procter hoc" while mine might
be judged a "non sequitur."

Now let's see: NPR has a slight leftward slant, coupled with a tendency

really KNOW something about the subjects they cover. Maybe NPR has one
or two radio stations in each market.

Unlike Larry you at least acknowledge the leftward slant but I perceive
that it is a little more than slight.

The hosts and the people they interview are liberal elitists whether
they know what they are talking about or not.


Right wing talk radio dominates most AM outlets--at least here in the
South--and presents many hours a day of radio "showmen" presenting
their unsupported opinions in the most extreme and confrontive language
they can possibly manage.

The right wing radio I listen to is Sean Hannity because he has people
in the white house on his show speaking on current events unlike the
continuous drone of failed or unproven liberal ideas the elitists like
babble on about.

Yep, it sure is unfair that those libs on NPR get to do what they do.

Yeah it's unfair my tax dollars go to broadcasting ignorant thought.

What I wrote was meant to indicate that this thread was about AFRTS
carrying the NPR news feed. AFRTS is a part of the Defense
Department, and if NPR's news coverage is considered reasonable and
obviously even desirable, by the Defense Department, maybe the
"slant" that RHF and you see in it is a product of your own extremist
beliefs. Armed Forces Radio's audience is probably above average in
education level, but it isn't an academic elite, and I don't think
military personnel are particularly more liberal than the country at
large.

There is nothing extremist about my thinking. I'm very middle of the
road and conservative in my thinking. The liberal crap generally
propagated on NPR are a collection of failed or unproven ideas that
don't work. Conservative ideas are sneered at by most on NPR most of
the time.

The fact that the NPR is on AFRTS is just an example of bureaucratic
incompetence not that NPR news coverage is reasonable or desirable. You
drew a wrong conclusion.

The only secret plot around here is you playing a Troll. You are not
stupid so what is your point arguing NPR does not have a leftist slant?

Of course maybe it's one of them there secret plots. How's the hunt

Today, A Prairie Home Companion is heard by over 4 million listeners
each week on over 558 public radio stations, and is heard abroad on
America One and the Armed Forces Networks In Europe and the Far East.
Keillor remembers, "When the show started, it was something funny to
do with my friends, and then it became an achievement that I hoped
would be successful, and now it's a good way of life."

A Prairie Home Companion is produced by Prairie Home Productions, and
distributed nationwide by American Public Media. The program is
underwritten by Lands' End Direct Merchants and Select Comfort.

It's not! As Americans, we are willing to give the government some of OUR
money to function. You see it as all THE GOVERNMENT'S money, and they LET

It is best not to open your mouth if this is all you have to say. You
declare your ignorance and precognitions loudly when you say things like
this, and you remove any and all credibility you have.

We're all HAMs, can we act like we actually deserve our licenses please?

Politics are politics, full of argument, prejudice, and hatred. Can we
please drop the subject and lose the pre-teen attitudes and name calling?
