It is almost like they are leaning away from the mic, or have sheet over it.

I find it easier to listen to NPR and disagree with their bias. I put my own filter on to counter their filter, read my local paper (The Minneapolis Red Star Tribune) and balance it out with internet news sites. I'd rather listen to a thoughtful liberal with whom I respectfully disagree than a loudmouth jerk who spouts slogans I agree with but can't do anything else.
Try listening to Dennis Prager

So if I am paying for NPR, does that mean we already have a sort of "Fairness Doctrine" in place? If we do pass it, they will have to start splitting their air time with Fox News or something
