Take a look at your browser searches....

I thought this was very interesting considering the political climate... I just did a search for "NPR" on a search engine that uses google... it's actually startpage.com. This was the TOP search item. Sponsored of course:

National public radio | ConservativeTalkNow.com
Listen to Conservative Talk Shows Right From Your Browser - For Free!
www.conservativetalknow.com/

I guess they are buying anything they can and using liberal "camouflage".

It's a sponsored result. They often aren't the best match to the search terms. n/t gkhouston Aug 2012 #4

And again this morning. And they did say, "The Obama campaign says that line we just heard was taken out of context.". I guess that's he best we can expect, and better than cable news certainly, but the whole qualifying "the Obama campaign claims" things really irked me. Taken out of context is a fact, demonstrable, and therefore not a "claim.". Still better than CNN.

NPR is not allowing comments on the newest Romney entry.

At least I'm not able to log in. Maybe they just hate me!!

Yeah, I know they aren't "liberal"... but they aren't exactly today's kind of conservative either.

Big edit: I just was able to post after all. I guess they just delayed public opinion for a while.

Or, they forgave me....
