Well, I'll give you that NPR has a liberal slant, but IMO it pales in comparison the the conservative slant of Fox. Actually, I wouldn't even call what happens on Fox a slant (or what happens on MSNBC to the other extreme).

But, I don't have a Volvo, and I voted for a GOP governor last election, I don't support affirmative action, and NPR is the best mainstream news source I've found. It's far from perfect, but even if you step back and compare, it does a better job than most.

Still, I do wish we had a US media discourse that allowed for more pluralism and nuance. IMO the team politics and ideologies that dominate make fools of us all.
