The NPR Dilema

That's a term I coined. It refers to the fact that NPR gets accused of being liberal because of their annoying habit of trying to be objective. So what is NPR to do? Present both sides of an issue, or present objective truth? Too often, they do the former. Such an approach does not serve the purported function of public media in our society, but I can sympathize. As Tom Brokaw said, "there is fear in the newsrooms."

But sometimes, NPR might as well be Fox News.

And sometimes, their reporters might as well be Jeff Gannon. Could Williams have given Bush a better PR platform? How pathetic.
