NPR are probably just being sensationalist
NPR is one of the least sensationalist news outlets out there. It's not like they're in a mad dash for ratings during sweeps week or something.
- jlarocco 14y ago"Least sensationalist" can still be sensationalist. And they do need to keep the donations rolling in... That said, I have no opinion on whether they're sensationalizing this story or not.
- MartinCron 14y agoAbsolutely, but they do tread a fine line. Many public radio fans (of which I am one) would be turned-off by the sort of rampant sensationalism and would stop listening and/or donating.
