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.
Well, on Fox I try to distinguish between the opinion pieces and the news side and the blurry bits inbetween. But as I only see it when I'm in a public place, or during an election period, I'm not actually an expert on what those guys are doing.
NPR, like all news organizations, makes gigantic mistakes on topics I know well, and that means they do the same on topics where I have little/no knowledge. As for perception of bias, well, we all think we're centrists. :-)
