NPR: THE NEW CONSERVATISM
Yesterday, in the course of demonstrating he is actually a cyborgian data repository, the Warrior Monk accused MPR and Minnesota Republicans of inhabiting parallel universes. I'm sure he'll be relieved to learn that FAIR, "the national media watch group," has determined that MPR's national parent, NPR, has listed way rightward in recent years. But the NPR Ombudsman is not. Two days ago he posted a indignant rebuttal to the study. Well, maybe "indignant" is going overboard:
FAIR is concerned whether the pendulum has swung too far. That's my concern as well.And we're off to the races!
I think it may have and NPR needs to do a better job in general and especially in an election year -- to make sure that the range is both wide and deep.
