His reply: "We only give the public what it wants to hear!" This opinion probably underlies all liberal media, but no one has voiced it before.

I've pretty much quit listening since I retired, because "drive-time" no longer exists. I still watch <i>The News Hour with Jim Lehrer</i> though, for much the same reasons you listen to NPR, Lex. Depth and insight. That said, I absolutely detest Gwen Ifill, who resembles Schorr in a lot of respects. While Ms. Ifill isn't <b>blatantly</b> partisan a la Schorr, she simply cannot suppress the curled lip or other facial tics that give her away. And there are times when her line of questioning seems to badger conservative guests. I don't believe the CPB will <b>ever</b> be truly non-partisan. Completely off-topic, but I have to mention I stayed in a very nice suite at the NAS Brunswick BOQ during my visit to Maine last week. You guys are <i>almost</i> up to USAF standards these days. Now, if you would just start selling beer at the front desk... :-) I used to be an NPR kinda guy, listening during drive-time, both coming and going.

NPR is often the only thing worth listening to around here. The content usually is quite decent, and Car Talk is one of the best things broadcast over the airwaves. BTW, I've always called NPR "National Proletarian Radio". I listen to NPR mainly because there is so little decent radio on in the SF Bay area.
