Just read P&N
I actually do, I just never post there. OT has degraded my brain functions enough, getting embroiled in P&N discussions would completely melt it.

Just read P&N
Absolutely not. In favor of what, additional "news" coverage? That is exactly what kills cable news for me. They simply beat a news story to death in order to fill the air time. Then they fill additional time with a panel of screaming "experts" to yell at each other about the topic. That's what passes for news on all other outlets except NPR.
No.
In favor of a broader range of news topics without crap like the best way to toast a marshmallow (real story) or the rise of feminist writers in Venezuela (real story). How about international stories? More finance and economics? More science news? There are plenty of things going on in the world.
Why do you support terrorists?
jesus christ you are such a fucking idiot. get back to P&N you puss-dripping simpleton.
lol
What element of NPR exerts even a fraction of the lobbying and influence big business does on our government and laws?
I don't listen to the show mentioned, but to me the worse loss for NPR is that the guys who did Car Talk retired. IMHO, it was easily the best show on NPR.
I think this all boils down to rural communities overrun by teabagging dodoheads have been convinced by their corporate handlers that NPR is a commie news network, so the funds are starting to dry up.

Meh, no thanks. They have plenty of that. International news roundup on friday. Marketplace every day at 6 for a half hour. Science friday. Plenty of discussion on those topics all through the day and night around here. I'm fine with occasional marshmallow and feminazi topics. They also have two hours of outdated radio drama shows like Dragnet and Johnny Dollar on around here on Sunday evenings. I find that interesting, should they eliminate it because you don't? Their balance between news, entertainment, and discussion is pretty much spot on as far as I'm concerned. They have to serve a broad market, plenty of people find stories about roasting marshmallows interesting. If you're expecting them to have stories that interest you 100% of the time, well then I don't know what to tell you...
Now even the website sucks.
I don't like the way everything's Googleized, with grey text on a white background. A lot of sites are doing that, and it's obnoxious.
Can someone give me a link or article or audio snip link showing how NPR is reporting with a liberal bias? I've always found it to be pretty balanced.
same. also with the framing, I think most websites are migrating to be tablet friendly, no?
I hate tablets.
'grats to NPR for their new blogspot account and more or less using a default template.Now even the website sucks.

This looks bad. Terrible in fact. The old site was fine, this is a major step backwards, maybe so it looks the same on a crappy phone.
It's not quite as bad as cnbc.com's recent redo, which includes a really terrible, just awful font to read.
Fonts are not just a personal thing. Some are demonstratively inferior and I have to think the one on CNBC really was not chosen because it's from a category of proven fonts.
I carpool with someone who listens to NPR....
Is there a requirement for their reporters to speak in the manner that they do? They seem to talk slower and seem a bit 'stiff' (both males and females)...Very noticable difference versus the reporters/voice personalities of the other radio stations....
