The Big Cat Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 You must be joking, right? Whether or not they have a preordained agenda or not, you cannot seriously think that NPR is devoid of partisanship to a particular side which blatantly slants their reporting. I'm speechless. How could you possibly be that naive? There's simply no research to suggest NPR or its listenership is predominately liberal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Frenkle Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Regarding your reply to my #10...you're a !@#$ing idiot for saying that. There is a single group in power that has been in power for decades that has turned a large part of a city that could be one of if not the best in the world into a cesspool and your response is "eh, if you don't like it, move"? Sorry that's not how I operate. I know it's been like this for a long time so what can I do? Not sure but what I do here will allow me to get in front of people that can actually do something about it. This is a city of misdirected priorities. Can a homeless guy **** and piss in the street? I guees so. Can I buy foie gras in a restaurant? Apparently not. This is a city of unenforced laws, rules and regulations and all it would take is to enforce these rules and laws and the city would be much better. No, sorry I'm not leaving. I'm going to do what I can to make it better. Cover me....I'm going in. Yeah, I don't really care too much about SF. Just trying to get your blood boiling - did it work?

GG Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 There's simply no research to suggest NPR or its listenership is predominately liberal. We're not talking about listenership. We're talking about their reporting. If you don't think that it's delivered well left of center, then you still have a lot of learning to do. Maybe the very calm and soothing voices put you in a trance that you don't actually hear what's being reported. NPR has a lot of very good programs on the air, but only true believers would claim they're not politically biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 It's simply not. Do your research. I do. It's called listening to the programs and making an observation of their reporting of facts that I know better than the reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you consider allegations of too often pulling from conservative think tanks bias, then yes they are. On the other hand, if you consider their reporting on the Gaza Strip to be anti-Israel, thereby rendering them liberal, then yes, they are.

Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Sure, why not. Make a stupid request, get a stupid response. To say Obama has done nothing good, is like saying Bush did nothing good, both statements originate from a voluntary blind spot. As my comrade Gump says, "Stupid is as stupid does". You sure that list isn't something that Robert Gibbs' 6 year old son originally sribbled on a napkin during lunch hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I do. It's called listening to the programs and making an observation of their reporting of facts that I know better than the reporters. So who does better reporting? And who's your NPR affiliate station you've made these observations listening to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 It's simply not. Do your research. I like NPR, they do lots of good work and research, but they do tilt to the left and there was a recent article from Politico that discussed this bias.
