It's mostly just Morning Edition and
All Things Considered, hardly 18 hours a day,
and if you took the time
to listen to them instead of just parroting what
you hear on right-wing talk radio, you would realize
they ARE balanced. Almost always have spokesmen
from both sides of a political issue, and have interviews
and features on Repubs just as often as Dems.

They're also carrying Car Talk. You got a problem with
that too?

LO,

It is obvious that you simply do not hear or recognize the 'slant'
that NPR inparts to the news and information that is presented.

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. Their affiliate stations have to support themselves
in "red" states as well as "blue" states and NPR still receives
considerable federal funding, which in the current political climate
requires that they be pretty scrupulous about exhibiting bias.

If you're so sure, why don't you give some examples? And not that
silly thing about how they don't refer to Dubya as "President" Bush.
You asserted that a ways back and it's a load of hooey.

I've heard interviews on NPR with such as Hastert, Rumsfeld,
Wolfowitz and Perle among others
and the interviews were respectful and non-confrontational.
They DO report on dissenting opinion as well, but that's what
balance requires.

The problem is more likely that your worldview is so skewed to
the right and so infected by verkrampt talk-radio that actual
balanced reporting sounds like left-wing extremism to you.

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.

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.

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

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

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