Am I The Only One?

Heard on NPR

"Hey Nevermore, what ever happened to your blogs about NRP's bias? Have you given up?" - Anonymous Emailer

In a way, yes. I found the bias to be so prevelent that there was point in naming each instance. You can read a few mentions of NRP's bias here, and here, and here, and here. Our local NPR station had nice moment this morning (paraphrased):

Caller: "... I mean, just look at all of Saddam's weapons prior to our invasion. It was all American, all of it."
Host: "Caller, you make a good point."

In fact, nearly all of the Saddam-era Iraqii military equipment, from its T-72 tanks to its AK-47s, were Soviet.

NRP's hosts do seem to make an effort to air both sides of any issue, but when politics are involved, they seem to strain to show the viewpoint that they personally disagree with, despite their best efforts.
