In reply to the discussion: Shouldn't NPR disclose the political slant of people they have on as "objective" analysts? [View all]MadHound
(34,179 posts)Let's see, NPR identifies where their guest works, the guest gives a fairly even handed analysis(as you mentioned, "on the one hand this... and on the other hand that"
and you're complaining. I guess you haven't heard other, more pro teacher analysis that have been on NPR. Or are you one of those purity people who can't stand to have your tender ears assaulted by anything that doesn't follow your ideological position right down the line.
NPR is broadcast aimed at all of the people, not just Democrats. So yes, it has analysts on who are right wing. But if you look at the overall tenor of NPR's programming, not just the news shows, but programs like Bob Edward's Weekend, This American Life and the rest, it is still overwhelmingly obvious that NPR is a network that leans to the left, a lot. But it is also a network that is trying to present a truly fair and balanced view of the news on its main news shows.
Deal with it, geez.
