in between.

CBS ranked right behind Fox with a 71 percent score, while CNN and NBC
tied as the best-performing commercial broadcast audience at 55
percent. Forty-seven percent of print media readers held at least one
misperception.

As to the number of misconceptions held by their audiences, Fox far
outscored all of its rivals. A whopping 45 percent of its viewers
believed all three misperceptions, while the other commercial networks
scored between 12 percent and 16 percent. Only nine percent of readers
believed all three, while only four percent of the NPR/PBS audience
did. ''

No thanks! It's quite obvious to me that a 'tard such as yourself did the study.

Nice try 'tard boy... PLEASE... don't try again.

That may be the case, 'tard boy... but it is certainly carried on stations that
support National Propaganda Radio.

Misperceptions according to who? Again, a VERY suspect source.

As for NPR presenting both sides of the political spectrum, I can think of
some liberal (Nina Totenberg, Mara Liasson, Daniel Schorr, etc. ) or
ultra-liberal (Bill Moyers) reporters with NPR -- exactly who do you say is
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."
