   They used to have some really good stuff. NPR has changed radically in the last five years. I used to listen regularly, but their new motif of Socialism good and everyone else bad is wearing thin. I used their propaganda piece on Castro as an example in a book.

   NPR’s greatest report I heard was when they spoke about the jazz legend James Moody after his death

   NPR is too solemn and self-important. Maybe Rat hat recht once again….

   For the benefit of anyone else outside the USA who doesn’t know what N.P.R. is, Wikipedia says “NPR, formerly National Public Radio, is a privately and publicly funded non-profit membership media organization that serves as a national syndicator to a …”.

   NPR is still second only to the BBC, both way better than anything else……Quick, tell me anything that happened outside the US,today, that has no direct affect on us? We’re so ethnocentric it’s embarrassing…..200 years as a supposedly mature modern country and we still act like babies who can’t get their way!

   Awww come on. NPR news makes everyone happy. The closer to the election, the better the economy is, housing is great, joblessness is way down, the sun is shining, birds are singing, and we’ll get a chicken in every pot! So when you’re feeling down about how divided our country is now, just listen to good old NPR. Life is good!

   Rat’s just jealous cause NPR knows he’s too unimportant to even want him on.

    NPR is a great place to hear both sides of issues, unlike FOX News that writes their own news.

    I listen to a variety of news outlets including those from other countries. For my money, NPR has lately tried to be too folksy rather than too elite. Compared with the news of, say, BBC or Germany’s NDR, it’s still a little too chummy. But compared with pretty much anything else in the US, it is serious (I know, that’s a bad word for most consumers of mass media) and thorough.
