I'm not sure how this quote from the article on Delay's comments bodes:
�I know that John Murtha is an honorable man,� DeLay said during the briefing, adding that he did not know any details of the article. �He is a man of great integrity.�
NPR has been toting water for the Republicans for a LONG time - this is nothing new. "Experts" on their stories are far more likely to be members of right-wing think tanks than anything else; the American Enterprise Foundation and the Heritage Institute are biggies. These are nonetheless never identified as right-wing organizations. Reporters from the Washington Times are frequent guests, and the opposite side of the political spectrum is almost never represented.
When they do have "balance", it's FOX News style - a passive, straw man liberal vs. a raging, domineering conservative. Try timing the comments - I have. The Republicans invariably get twice as much air time, at a minimum - if the Democrats get any say at all.
And that's why I'll never give a dime to them.
Sorry, my NPR letter shouldn't have gone here - there was a glitch. I don't seem to be able to delete it, though?
