.... ever since the Romney picked Ryan, NPR is running about one third of their total programming on Morning Edition and All Things Considered on Ryan. And most of it is puff-piece positive about his youth or other non-controversial aspects of him.
It's pretty sickening.

Most of the programming I hear is rah-rah young blah blah controversial and very similar to the programming you would hear on the MSM "oh here is an exciting new young man selected as VP".
There is very little focus on what a douchebag he is.

(913 posts)I love NPR, I never fail to come away from a listening session without having learned something new. I think it's great and I don't think they are remotely RW, I think they are as middle of the road as middle of the road gets, which is nice as only listening to Left-leaning media outlets can be just as constricting as hanging out in the RW echo chamber.

(913 posts)Here in New York, I haven't noticed anything that caught my attention, I've just heard a couple of pieces regarding how his addition is going to affect Florida with regard to his stance on Medicare...on the other hand I admittedly haven't been listening as much as usual this week so you may be on to something.
