I love this shit.

Haven't listened to it in years,but it's always on in the car now...and I do try to listen to it during the day while working.

Always interesting interviews, and discussions..and from what I have experienced over the past month not always a liberal slant either.

During one show this last week they devoted some time discussing Kerry's war time "heroism," and interviewd some guys from his platoon who are actively trying to set the record straight.

NPR is great. I stopped listening to them for a while, but now that I've started again I'm hooked.

Gheenz · 08-05-2004, 07:59 AM

Listen to it everyday at work

eroswebmaster · 08-05-2004, 08:01 AM

Only thing I can't stand are those idiots who do that show Click and Clack about auto repairs.

Nothing so sad as old men who think they are funny and laugh at their own jokes.

That's correct they are rightwingnuts that promote the pentagons interest and always have. CSPAN also.

A Prarie Home Companion is awesome. I am also an avid NPR listener. I even donate money to them from time to time. It's great radio.

If you believe npr is rightwing then you are so far left you must walk lopsided.

Mutt · 08-05-2004, 09:05 AM

on the weekends they used to play old radio shows from the 40's and 50's - i'd listen to them the way my parents did when they were kids, it really is theater of the mind, the comedy ones were pretty lame but the crime ones were excellent.

Then again....It may be possible that Devilspost doesn't actually know the difference between left-wing and right-wing.... That's a possiblity

gsimm33 · 08-05-2004, 11:06 AM

NPR did a study on 15,000 regular NPR listeners, and the idea of a more left-wing listenership appeared to be a myth. NPR listeners:

- Are as likely as the rest of the population to own a firearm

- Are more likely to own powertools.

- Are more likely to attend a live NASCAR event.

So maybe the notion of NPR being more liberal comes from their receiving the bulk of their funding from the government, thereby making it a more socialized program; in the minds of many Americans as being on par with welfare and socialized medicine (liberal).

Public or Private? (PBS, NPR)
Conservative media watchers have always had an especially vehement dislike for public television and radio, which they see as horrifically and irredeemably liberal. But once again, close monitoring of these media shows the exact opposite to be the case. PBS, which is supposed to get its funding from viewers, routinely gets massive donations from corporate foundations and charitable trusts. Not surprisingly, PBS has "killed" documentaries like the anti-GE film "Deadly Deception" produced by INFACT, for being too "controversial." And National Public Radio's line has never been so much pro-liberal as pro-establishment, routinely parroting the official tales of Washington like they were gospel. Both PBS and NPR do run stories and programming critical of American policy, from time to time, but these are often drowned in a sea of talk shows with right-wing pundits, of which more anon. Since both media systems receive a good bit of government funding (taxpayer money), the government can and does exert an influence on their content.
