[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NPR seems pretty mainstream to me. [/quote]

Our radios are set to NPR in our cars, bedroom, office, and kitchen. We listen to it all the time, but their interviews frequently "lean left." We're fairly conservative, and I find it rather amusing that their interviewers will frame questions in a way that sets up the conservative candidate or policy as "concerning to many Americans." So obvious. Of course, they're using perfect English and speaking with a well-modulated, concerned tone of voice to express their thoughts.[/quote]

NPR has "conservative" voices on all the time - David Brooks, Ross Douthout, etc. Lots of in-depth stories about religion. They are also frequent critics of Obamacare, national security policies, lack of accountability of police and local governments, and (lack of) whistleblower protections. WAMU in DC is extremely critical of the DC government.

I feel that they've always been fair and stuck to the facts.[/quote]

+1.  I think people who complain how "liberal" it is don't listen to it all that much.  And can't handle when a news organization doesn't puppet their own views like Fox.[/quote]
