News NPR radio is the most unbiased media

You can't be serious.

I am serious.. Short of hiring robots to read just straight news NPR has a very conservative approach to politics and not conservative in the political sense. Thus that conservative approach leads to a very well balanced news cast that is neither political liberal or politicaly conservative but all of the above.

I'd love evidence to the contrary :)

Most people who don't like NPR have a problem with intellectuals and its odd that in many ways the party line is often divided in such fashion (such a meaningless and superficial way to divide beliefs)

You listen this morning? How was the little "sketch" between the two correspondents talking about alternative cop-ops unbiased? Is their *any* uncertainty about what their feeling on the matter is?

It's like they were reading from a script! Why didn't they thank their writers?

You can catch the piece throughout the day.

When i say "conservative and not in the political" sense i mean

cautious and on low side: cautiously moderate

I haven't heard the piece you speak of but isn't co-ops both a progressive belief and a conservative beleif? i mean, really, getting back to local supplies, buy local, grow local and sell local processes buth progressive in stemming huge corporate control but also conservative in putting more money into local working families and local communities? why do we have to look into things as if to split them apart on ideologies rather than look into things in how they unify our ideologies?

I thought this topic was about bias. certainly I agree that NPR does not have anyone shouting on the airwaves. They promote their bias through the use of the steady, even toned day-by-day drip...drip...drip...drip...

Honestly, I don't know. The only thing i was able to get out of that piece was the fact that both of the correspondents thought it was a ridiculous idea. The lady cued the other guy, he missed his cue, and then she had to re-cue him. It was like watching a play.

Certainly didn't see anyone giving the other side of the argument.
