RE: Article: At the Center of the Storm Over Bush And Science
I most certainly have. I rather enjoy listening to and engaging in debate
where all sides of an issue are covered.
NPR, and several other "main stream" organizations are being selective in
the stories they report, the timing of the stories, and the angles taken in
the presentation.
I find NPR lacking in presenting the following, to name a few...
- Pro-life stories
- Pro- 2nd amendment stories
- Pro-Isreal stories
- Pro-business and industry stories
Whether I agree or not, the information is absent. That implies that I'm
being fed an opinion, with public funds.
No media bias? I made my decision in 2000 when I watched Dan Rather state:
"Gore wins another state..." and
"Another one falls to Bush"
And Mr. Rather still claims that he has no biases....
Lets go to private e-mail on this one. Seems to be off topic.

Have you considered that maybe NPR is balance, but you
just don't like what they say?
