Donald Rumsfeld and Richard Perle are moderates? Yeah, right.

It's well-documented that if Fox News is your primary source of
current events information you are seriously misinformed.

In the broader sense no one can easily recognize slant as such when they
hear it if it agrees with their prejudices, but NPR news programming
is very careful to present both sides of issues when there
is controversy.

Snip

Sure thing Larry.

By the way, are you selling any investor swampland or maybe pre-owned
cars or how about multi-level marketing.

You must think most people in the news group are pretty stupid.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Rush appeals to people who
''think'' they're smart.

Certainly a fair number of them are. Why don't you and RHF stretch
those mighty intellects of yours and think back to the original
post on this thread. Who is it who is carrying NPR's daily news feed?
Is it Radio Havana? Iran? North Korea? No it is the freaking United
Stated Department of Defense. Who is the bureaucrat who made that
decision ultimately accountable to? George Soros? Victor Navasky? Nope.
Donald Rumsfeld. And who are the intended audience - a bunch of Ivy
League classics professors sitting around drinking Chablis? No, you
dopes, they are a bunch of military people. A group generally more
conservative perhaps than the average, but people who are not interested
in being spoon-fed a lot of simplistic conspiracy-theory laden claptrap
by kooks and paid entertainers.

Sure, if you need simple monochromatic sloganeering
answers to life's questions, anything that deals seriously with complex
issues will look slanted toward the side opposite to whatever your side
is. For every trailer-park-living Ru****e who thinks the NY Times and
NPR are commie-loving seditionists there's an LSD-dropping communard
somewhere who thinks they are right-wing crypto-fascist tools. Both
sides are crippled marginal figures incapable of and uninterested
in making informed decisions about anything important.

I would venture a guess that there are more trailer park living liberals than
there are trailer park living 'Ru****es'.

You wouldn't recognize a ''True Conservative'' if you tripped over
one.

What is the NPR stance on the .50BMG law passed in California recently?

NPR may have had a good scare thrown in it as a result of attempts to
cut off federal dollars and Bush II being elected, I'll have to start
listening to it again and see.

I think journalism has reached such a state in America that people don't
recognize good journalism anymore.

True, especially considering that the majority of the population has
only had access to TV showing news from CBS, NBC, ABC, and radio
stations that use Rueters, AP, and UPI news feeds.

They want everything presented to them
with a slant, so it's safe and appealing to them, whatever their particular
position on the political spectrum.

Oh, yes. That's true. It certainly explains why so many people are
starting to ignore the MSM, switching to the internet and talk radio for
their news. The MSM is too far left to suit them.

IMO, most do not realize why they feel a vague sense of disatisfaction
with the news, and why they change channels or put on a DVD when only
the news is on.

They realize it when they find the alternatives.
