My satellite radio is on the fritz and all I have to listen to is NPR. Since I am an old fart I typically don't mind their slightly lefty spin on pretty much everything. Sometimes it gets annoying but I digress.
When did NPR start sensationalizing (sp) everything??? They have become as bad as the major news channels. Oil goes 10 cents a barrel and they use the word "skyrocket". Oil goes down $10.00 a barrel and they use the words "slight dip". Stock market goes up 300 points and they call is a "slight increase". Market goes down 30 ponts and it "plummets". For some reason I thought they were a bit more realistic but apparently this has changed.
The reporters all loathe Bush so much you can literally feel their hatred coming through the speakers...
And one more thing... Your @#%^ing name is Michelle, not MEchelle. It makes you sound like a soulja sister.

Married and in my 30's. Yes, I am quite boring
Who doesn't loathe Bush? The man is the most incompetent and idiotic President this country has ever had.
Are there actually people who aren't openly rooting for him to choke on a pretzel again?

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machin ery of night.
Even if it is slightly titled to the left, NPR's news stations are the only ones that will cover things like a Sudanese music concert in Chicago.
NPR is ok. Sure it's left leaning but you get to hear the biggest problems in the country through the eyes of wacko liberals. Those include an owl died in the forest yesterday because a tree was felled so they could build a house that said wacko lives in today. Very entertaining.

Is it just me or is Knox one of the worst posters ever?

It's just you. Set your filter to default and you won't even know he exist.
Virus is like Gbaji, they are both retarded but without them there would be no discussion since everybody else here agree on pretty much everything political.
I miss 1030 AM in Mass. It was how I got a lot of my news for the day,s eeing i was in the car a lot. There is nothing like that here in NC, so I'm stuck with NPR. They bore me to frikking tears. Sersiously, is it based out of the UK? Everyone has a proper British accent.
I'm with Joph. I listen to the right side whining and screaming and it makes me smile.

Well, when the play the BBC World News, it is indeed based out of the UK.
The rest of NPR is based out of Washington DC.

If you get Science Friday, you can listen to the only serious science coverage on air (at least that I have heard).
Look at perhaps the most important story of the decade: prewar Iraq intelligence. They were right on. It isn't political if it is factual. Yes, I'm sure there is a great deal of bitterness about virtually everyone else getting it wrong (Knight-Ridder got it right but...). That doesn't make the wrong anything other then incompetent. The facts were in plain sight.

I'm a proud card-carrying, dues-paying, tree-hugging member of MPBN (our local NPR carrier):D
....and I find awesome music on their website.

Ugh I miss Science Friday. When I lived in Minneapolis I listened to NPR every single day. When I would drive home, as soon as MPR cut out, I'd cry, because Iowa's NPR just doesn't compare to MPR.
