It's always entertaining when stories of NPR or Foxnews or anything political comes up.
You always see comments like "my conservative father/mother/brother/friend/etc listened to NPR to find liberal bias and found none".
Or "my liberal father/mother/brother/friend/etc listened to foxnews and couldn't find conservative bias".
If your conservative family member or friend couldn't find anything liberal on NPR or your liberal friend couldn't find anything conservative on foxnews, then they must be hard of hearing and they should have their ears check by a doctor.
People are overcompensating too much or they are embarrassed by what they listen to. It's okay to admit that NPR is liberal. It's okay to admit that foxnews is conservative. It's why they exist. If NPR isn't liberal then it isn't doing its job and not serving their fanbase. If foxnews isn't conservative, then it isn't doing its job and not serving their fanbase.
It is just so obvious what people are trying to do and it is annoying.
Edit: Just a PSA... current was founded by the people who founded NPR or PBS. So I'd take what they have to say, especially about NPR or PBS, with a grain of salt.
"whose members were leaders in founding the PBS and National Public Radio."
