NPR has been indistinguishable from propaganda for so long, that it is IMPOSSIBLE to listen to them.

None of their news is balanced and they are shamefully inimical to any but the MOST LIBERAL causes and views.

“In 1993, I wrote a column about comments made by Washington Post reporter Michael Weisskopf, who claimed that evangelicals were “largely poor, uneducated and easy to command.” When some of them flooded the newspaper with their educational and professional bona fides, Weisskopf said he meant to say that “most” evangelicals were “poor, uneducated and easy to command.” That triggered more protests. The Post ombudsman at the time, Joann Byrd, tried to defend Weisskopf, saying that readers needed to understand most journalists don’t know any of “these people.” “

..... LOL - too rich! You just cannot make this stuff up.

One of the most memorable examples of bias courtesy of NPR occurred on election night 1992 when it was announced that Clinton had been declared the winner. I was driving in New Mexico listening to a local NPR affiliate and had all I could do to not drive off the road as I listened in astonishment as the NPR newsroom staff burst into loud and sustained cheering and clapping.

This incident reportedly cost NPR and affiliate stations thousands of contributors. Now they warn the staff on election nights about such outbursts. The bias is still there and obvious, but at least they don’t openly cheer (from what I’ve heard; I haven’t voluntarily listened to them since.)

If National Proletariat Radio doesn't give the upper middle class white liberals their socialist ear candy with a healthy dose of conceited pretentiousness, who will?

Most journalists are intellectually poor, uneducated and easy to command.

Has anybody seen the similarities between NPR and ACORN? The people could be interchangeable as far as their immediate willingness to break the law. Its just unbelievable.

My Uncle Eli had a PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of Notre Dame. He graduated at age 23. He coined the term "single event upset" which concept was critical to the development of successful modern satellite communications. He authored and collaborated on numerous scientific articles, chaired international meetings, and developed several patents. His second career as a consultant saw him elected to fellowship in the American Physical Society and also the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.

Smart, smart man and a devout Catholic, who believed in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Ignorant my foot. Christian's are very diverse with those not so smart and those highly intelligent, from poor to very very rich. Unlike snobbish leftists who think they are all that. There arrogance stinks like yesterdays diapers.
