All media is biased - whether it is a conservative talk show, or mainline media. Old line journalists would not fair well in media today. Media is so divided - hardened images take the place of discussions and the experiences of hard working Americans.
The head of NPR said, "NPR is our (the liberal) answer to Rush Limbaugh."
Public funding of NPR has been corrosive to the discourse of issues.
Americans now operate in a environment where they fear speaking their mind, or to express their feelings, for fear of being branded with a stigma, or fired, or assaulted. We must give voice to all sides of the issues. In lieu of shutting people up, we must trust people to listen, and then make up their minds.
