I pretty much turn it off when the news comes on---which is their most important programming. Their mission really.
But I have a guilty conscience because of all those other programs. Besides the ones you mention, there's Moyer's and Company, Le Show, Whad'ya Know, Says Who?, Ted Talks Radio, The Moth Radio Hour, Selected Shorts, LA Theater Works, Bullseye, Snap Judgement, Invisibilia, Reveal, BBC's World Have Your Say, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, To the Best of Our Knowledge.
That's a lot of guilt. But they did cheerlead up to the Iraq war and I can't send money to an outfit that won't do real journalism and on top of it gives cover to the Republican mind set.

They are much more dangerous than Fox. RW propaganda from a phony "liberal" source is more
