> I've also heard a lot from my conservative friends that NPR is too liberal but to be honest, I haven't seen that at all. Are you being facetious? NPR is extremely liberal. > [1] I'm a Libertarian and thus social liberal and economically conservative which puts me in the great position of being able to laugh at jokes at the expense of either of the two major parties. I'm moderate independent so I too laugh at both sides. I also don't listen to NPR or watch foxnews as they are a terrible waste of time.

NPR's newsroom is very liberal. But, I find their lifestyle pieces or non-news series to be extremely rich.

> I also don't listen to NPR or watch foxnews as they are a terrible waste of time. You seem to have a lot to say about something you never listen to because it's a "terrible waste of time".

  > You seem to have a lot to say about something you never listen to because it's a "terrible waste of time". Did I say I never listened to them? I used to as a teen and young adult. I was a big fan of NPR. Even was a supporting member and have their tote bag somewhere( WNYC is my station )... I also used to watched a bit of foxnews, but that was only at work when they had it on. But the past few years, I grew up. I will still listen to radio lab once in a while if they have an interesting topic and maybe catch wait wait don't tell me ( especially if they have an interesting guest ). But for the most part, it's gotten old and boring. But that's my opinion. I'm sure yours is different.

    It's gotten so dumbed down it's painful to listen to. There are highlights such as Michael Krazny for us locals. But mostly too stupid to bother with. And though I don't watch tv, from what I gather of the Jim Lehrer Newshour on YouTube, PBS seems to be headed in the same direction. I guess it's a reflection of American culture and intellect in general. Sad.
