  • NPR is unbiased.

    The comments raging about NPR bias are disappointing. They are reporting factually. Unfortunately, you won’t get the media conglomerate fear mongering coverage from Fox News the uneducated seem to foam at the mouth over. I wish Americans would all take an English comp and literary analysis course. The world would be better for it.
