[SCU29539]

I work all over the country, and I can honestly say that the NPR experience is varies greatly from station to station. There are probably hundreds of NPR shows, and each station only carries a few. Based on the Canon shows like All Things Considered, Talk of the Nation, and Prairie Home Companion, I agree that NPR is generally a bit more liberally oriented than most other media, but I’m not even sure I would call it objectively leftist. If you’re classifying NPR listeners as all white, tune in when Tavis Smiley is on and you’ll get something that’s decidedly not honky. And I gotta say, I rarely hear people talking about things like knitting in Manhattan unless it’s on This American Life. If you don’t like that, tune in some other time. Most of the shows talk about news and current events. You might even like what you hear – unlike most the major news media, they tend to handle opposing sides of a viewpoint in separate interviews back-to-back or on consecutive days rather than picking people representing the two most opposite extremes they can find so you can watch two people too busy being pissed off at each other to get around to explaining why they think what they think.
