Liberals truly believe that the MSM and NPR are just as unbiased as they believe themselves to be, and that we conservatives are the lunatic fringe. My liberal friends mention what they heard on NPR or the MSM as though it was straight news with no editorializing, this while they are quite aware of my conservative view.

BWAHAHAHAH! This is just like Dan Rather saying he wanted to be the one to investigate whether his lies about Pres. Bush’s National Guard service were true. These libs are so far into denial that they’ll never find their way back.

They aren’t liberal.

They are socialist, communist, Marxist

"public value" is the standard of scrutiny, then "pubic broadcasting stands strong."

Well, let's hear it for pubic broadcasting!

“”We are urban and rural ... red state and blue state,” she said.”

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see....I guess since everyone who works there is liberal therefore the whole country must be that way too?

They must think like Dan Rather. Completely oblivious to reality.

"... Schiller said the accusation that public broadcasting has a liberal bias is just a "perception problem" that doesn't accurately reflect NPR's journalism.

What the hell?

I listen to NPR on the morning drive, and Schiller needs to listen no further than NPR morning show host Diane Rehm (the one with the shaky stuttering voice because something's F'ed up in her aging brain) because that crazy broad tries to tie absolutely everything to the "right wing" or "Bush".

A few weeks ago, Rehm had on some ridiculous woman who wrote a new book bemoaning that the megalomaniac Disney corporation has for generations been deviously implanting into little girls' minds that they should want to be fairy princesses (like Tinkerbell, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, etc.) and that this is just the worst possible thing, since studies show that at least half of America's little girls should grow up to be craggy-faced volleyball coach lesbians with spiky buzzcut hairstyles and an ass that looks like both mudflaps on the back of an 18-wheeler --- and they WOULD be, if it weren't for the evil Disney corporation thwarting nature's plans for little girls.

Why, if it weren't for American culture's oppressive and unnatural societal gender/role assignment, little girls would grow up choosing to be heterosexual or homosexual with equal frequency, rather than unnaturally and overwhelmingly heterosexual. And it's Disney doing it! Just insane.

Naturally, Diane Rehm sputters out some claim that "What role does the right wing play in gender-specific role assignment?".

I wanted to punch the radio. NPR needs to be defunded.

Only a "small, small amount of money goes to public broadcasting," according to Schiller.

Then you won't miss it right? Instead of having one of your fund drives every other week you could just have them every other night.

It's amazing how liberals don't seem to live in the same world as sane people do.

What liberal bias?

lol. what bias.

Their bias is what stopped me from listening when they were literally the only thing on the radio 10 years ago.

easier to switch it off than to listen to their liberal spew.

Same with PBS. Normal people don't watch PBS. They were turned off of it long ago for it's political leftward bias. now only the leftest ideologues listen to either NPR or PBS.

Let's also not forget that the DNC was buying subscriber lists from PBS 10 years ago so they could fundraise from like-minded people who would more than likely contribute.

I don't know whether to laugh at the patent absurdity of this statement or be angry at the lie he is trying to perpetrate. One need only to listen to NPR's All Things Considered for about three minutes to know that it is little more than propaganda. I hope Juan Williams is asked to testify before a Congressional hearing to talk about NPR's fairness to different views.
