I like NPR a lot. Intelligent, detailed presentation. Lots of international news coverage. Entertaining programs like Car Talk etc. My local NPR station also broadcasts other news programs like McNeil Lehrer and BBC, and other programs like Science Friday etc. Definitely the best news and cultural programming to be found on FM. Compared to the other stuff on radio, there's no comparison.

Now, NPR does have a moderately liberal bias, in my opinion. So do I, on many things, but that doesn't mean I just want to automatically swallow whatever NPR says. So I listen with my brain switched on, distinguish facts from opinion, and do further research on whatever topic has caught my ear.
