"lapdog of the left" it would be far more like Bartcop or Buzzflash or
even Harry Shearer's "Le Show" stretched over 24 hours. Would it
surprise you that this super-duper liberal evil network had Kirk Whalum
for a long interview on a drive-time show (Tavis Smiley)? Kirk's an
excellent jazz saxophonist who put out a gospel album and spent the
entire interview talking about how he's trying to witness and get the
message of Jesus out to the masses and how much of God's power he felt
flowing through him... holy smokes! That's impossible! Everyone knows
liberals like NPR hate Christians! David Limbaugh told me so!
I don't think NPR is a red-flag waving liberal station - if it was, I
wouldn't listen to it, and wouldn't donate to it. I'm not offended by
them sending a reporter in to talk with Iraqis after the war was over.
There were a lot of opinions - people said they were happy to have
Saddam gone, they were happy to see the US, but things were hard without
water or electricity. Two months later, CNN reports that people are
getting angry at the US because water and electricity are still not on.
I feel like NPR is a smarter and more challenging choice than listening
to corporate news. I'm not subjected to commercials, and I know they're
not subject to the whims of advertisers. They air all sorts of opposing
viewpoints, they regularly interview people from the current
administration and - surprise! - carry equal-time views from the other
side of the aisle. They come across as professional journalists on
their news programs, and I appreciate the diversity of stories and
opinions I hear on their programs.
Kevin - you asked Larry if he thought NPR presented an unbiased opinion,
yes or no. That's a loaded question - a gross oversimplification.
What's your definition of unbiased? What's the absolute most neutral a
news outlet can be?
