re: #23 Rightwingconspirator

From listening to NPR lately, they have editorially moved more centrist since Obama took office. Less to object to even if you lean right. Far enough to the middle a Dem friend called them Not Properly Liberal (enough). His words, not mine. This after they gave interview time to the Wisconsin gov.

Well, I often get frustrated with NPR (Well, Morning/Weekend Edition and All Things Considered, at least) for:
- Giving time to only one side of a *clearly* controversial and contested issue, when it’s clear that the one person being talked to isn’t even trying to be objective.
- Fluffy stories on serious issues, where, at the end, I’m left to sit wondering when I was going to actually hear something useful/descriptive/etc.

Yes, I know this isn’t exactly uncommon in news, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to hold NPR to higher standards.
