Default Media Matters distortions [[ Swift Boat Liars]]

....But they don't tell you that NPR carries many of President
Bush's speeches, interviews with General Tommy Franks, etc etc. Boy talk
about a leftist agenda!

I have to agree. I listen to NPR regularly. While I think some of
the programming on our local NPR member station could be considered
fairly liberal. I find much of the NPR programming to be very
objective.


Thank you Curtis. Some of our local station's stuff is rather bogus,
too... like gay lifestyle programs and such. And of course, I happen to
like Prairie Home Companion but think Garrison Kiellor is an idiot when
he tries to talk politics. Some people can't seperate the two.


I would say that much of it is pretty damned boring.


They mumble a lot too. I have to turn up the volume louder for NPR than
anything else including old Pink Floyd albums.


"...In an interview with Talkers Magazine, Mr. Edwards gave a
surprising answer when asked what kind of people listen to NPR.

"'Bright people,' he replied. 'People of all economic strata. It's a
whiter audience than we would like and we're trying to fix that.'

"Now substitute 'GOP Chairman Ed Gillespie' for Bob Edwards and
'Republican Party' for National Public Radio and think what the
reaction would be to a statement that could be read to imply that
white people are somehow brighter..."


I would construe it as saying that he thinks there are too many white
people in the lower economic strata
