They had a guest on there talking about the upcoming 2008 presidential election. The guest insisted that the election would be very close. The election would be so close that it would once again be decided in the courts. There was no counter argument, not even a single word against this line of thinking. I thought I had slipped into the Twilight Zone.

Since then whenever I have switched on NPR is seems it's only a matter of minutes until someone repeats a Right Wing talking point with no counter position to be heard. Pure bias.

I never give them the chance to repeat this propaganda to me. I see NPR as a more subtle version of Rush Limbaugh. Fuc em.
