What a crock! Fox reported it EXACTLY the same way.

That may be -- let me re-phrase: NPR was the only news source that I was
aware of that reported it that way. But, the point remains the same, that
if NPR had such a serious left-wing slant, I don't believe it would have
presented the story in the way it did, which struck me as very fair. And,
as you pointed out, it reported the story the same way that Fox did, which
also seems to discredit the notion that NPR is purely left-biased. I wish
NPR bashers would actually listen before judging.

I'll say this about NPR, though -- Daniel Schorr's editorials just drive me
over the edge. He is clearly far-left in his opinions, and proud to slant
his comments severely. But, it's editorial, not reporting, and even though
I disagree with him most of the time, any news source will have editorials.
It's important to hear a wide range of opinions before forming your own.
