re: #29 Simply Sarah

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.

seriously? You think NPR’s reporting is on par with broadcast? I could not disagree more. They are far, far ahead. Programs like “Planet Money” have been doing some of the best reporting in the country on complicated issues.
