How unfortunate and narrow minded.

I don't know what offends me about this "editorial" more. That the author has an obvious ax to grind because NPR isn't horribly left wing and dosen't support every cause adn issue he does, or that it was actually posted on the front page of the site.

1. Gotta agree.

Bad enough the NPR bashers show up in the forums, but an article whining about how it isn't Pacifica or The Militant just seems a bit much.

It's NATIONAL Public Radio, not NEWLEFT Public Radio.

2. Did you think

it was about NPR? Besides the "Hot Air"/"Fresh Air" jibe, I thought it sounded more like cable news/talk shows.

4. If it was...

a jab at the idiot press, it missed the mark.

3. I consider NPR fairly balanced, but...

for some reason, I don't like 'Talk of the Nation'. I think the host has said or done a few things that make me think he's a bit biased to the right, which is fine since he isn't anywhere close to being a raving wingnut. However, this is one of the few shows on NPR I don't care for.
