14. When Diane comes back she...
can bury most of the AAR and other radio lefties-- her bias against what's going on in the White House is pretty blatant and she's spot on in her interview texchnique to get them to expose how empty they are.

It's not so much hating the White House, or Republicans, but she seems to be genuinely repulsed by a lot of what's going on.

Anyway, I listen to NPR all the time and what might appear to be "bias" is often letting the assholes hang themselves. It's not an interviewer's job to argue with a subject, but they can lead them to a spot where they trip themselves up. Which Diane, and others, often do.

(A study was recently done, by the Annenberg people I believe, which shows that how a media outlet is perceived usually depends upon the biases of the listener-- so it stand to reason NPR would be hated by both left and right.)
