i am beginning to feel better about npr already ~ RHF



- Car Talk, with Click & Clack (The Tappett Brothers)
- A Prairie-Home Companion
- Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me
- The Infinite Mind
- Says You!
- Talk of the Nation - Science Friday
- The Thistle & Shamrock
- Whad'ya Know?

All of those make NPR *GREAT*!! (at least to me).

What I could do without is their news reporting. For instance, on a
telephone interview with some correspondent in the S.Asia tsunami zone, the
NPR interviewer asked the correspondent something along the lines of, "What
have you seen that made you cry?"... I wished the guy over there had
responded with, "DUDE! I'm in an area that is virtually *littered* with
decaying corpses!!" But he didn't. The whole piece was typical of NPR news
pieces - focused more on emotion and opinion than facts and lightly dusted
with negative politics.

NPR news (like the majority of network news broadcasters) provides a
comfort zone for the political left that seems to prefer symbolism over
substance. But NPR's entertainment content is clearly a cut above anything
else out there.

Just my opinions...
