6. Yet another hit piece on NPR without the assistance of facts...

more'n likely because yet again NPR isn't "liberal enough". There's a lot of that going on with NPR and PBS being slammed for being rightwing shills no matter how hard they try to be neutral. Most times I see one of these slams I increase my monthly contribution to WSHU by a buck, but it's costing me a lot lately.

Alternet, btw, is on my personal list of dubious "journalism"-- the Left's version of Townhall. An agenda, lousy sourcing, opinion dressed up as fact, and a shit list of things to complain about on a daily basis whether the complaints are valid or not.
