That's what makes it more entertaining than cable television.

Do you even remember the undercover video with NPR execs who were plotting to paint conservatives in a negative light? It wasn't even that long ago.

Juan Williams was apparently such a right wing extremist they had to fire him... Let that sink into your "unbias" brain.

I've been a bigger defender of NPR, but their programming has noticeably changed post election.

Shouldn't receive a single tax dollar. It's regressive propaganda.

How do you know how entertaining cable television is? I thought you never watch it.

Someone wake me the next time they have an unbiased story that isn't about a cat problem in Hoboken, NJ.

Why doesn't Trump order them to only do puff pieces if its "state run propaganda"?

I listened on my way in. They interviewed multiple Trump supporters from devastated manufacturing towns followed by an interview with John Legend. Both interviews featured very little of the interviewing personality and was easily dominated by the person talking.

You find none of this on MSNBC, CNN, or Fox but by all means, rail on NPR.

ETA: The interviews with the Trump people gave them ample time to talk about how no matter what they feel about some of the things Trump has done, they have no fricking jobs and that Trumps everything. Its a point that needs to be made.

They used to have these all the time. NPR, BBS, and PBS were the only news sources that I used to consider unbiased. All three have changed since the election. I hope that they come back around.

I started listening in 2010 when I left NYC and started driving again. It's been a shite show since at least that time .

NPR can't be defunded (as far as federal funds go) fast enough. I'm for leftist being able to spew their garbage to whoever they want to, but I'll be damned if my tax dollars should be paying for it. The left would be up in arms if Trump/congress decided to start funding Breitbart.

And over 100 down votes? Can any of you name a "credible" news organization? If you say "Fox", step away from the keyboard for a while.

I am literally asking, and it has been asked many times. Is there an unbiased news source?
