Welcome to FR. I'm one of those freepers who doesn't mind saying I listen to NPR in my car. Some of the news stories are okay, but the liberal slant in other stories is enough to choke on -- if I wasn't such a news junkie, and if I didn't live somewhere with no alternative.
I listen to NPR in my car too. Their liberal slant is grating and occasionally causes me to proclaim out loud and shake my fist in the air like a right-wing Fidel Castro -- but on stories that aren't in-your-face political I enjoy their excellent production values and the fact that they'll spend some time on a story. I appreciate their thoroughness. I also like the music in between segments. Plus no ads. All in all, NPR would be a near perfect news experience if they could just keep their biases to themselves.
