Executives at National Public Radio recently asked the network’s top political correspondent, Mara Liasson, to reconsider her regular appearances on Fox News because of what they perceived as the network’s political bias, two sources familiar with the effort said.

According to a source, Liasson was summoned in early October by NPR’s executive editor for news, Dick Meyer, and the network’s supervising senior Washington editor, Ron Elving. The NPR executives said they had concerns that Fox’s programming had grown more partisan, and they asked Liasson to spend 30 days watching the network.

At a follow-up meeting last month, Liasson reported that she’d seen no significant change in Fox’s programming and planned to continue appearing on the network, the source said.

They whine that FOX is too "partisan" while trying to pressure the lib pundits who appear on the network not to go on?

BTTTTTTT!!!!!

This is the most telling thing.

We can not compare the power of viewers complaining about liberals on Fox to a quasi-government employer - like PBS - harassing an media employee for expressing a politically incorrect opinion or working at Fox News. The far left is using power to destroy people they disagree with in too many of our institutions now. The silence of the Rinos has hurt us badly.

No, NPR, Fox is center to center-right. ABSCBSNBSCNN are radically biased to the left - at least given a historical context. These know-it-alls do not consider historical contexts and doubtless believe that truth is relative.
