Can some one please show me the liberal bias in NPR?

You have to be a member of the Republican Party of the United States to find liberal basis, they have a special permit.

I would just like to say Fox news radio has no biased at all and they always report the truth, OBAMA IS A KENYAN MUSLIM HITLER NAZI FROM MEXICO WHO HATES FREEDOM BECAUSE HES HOMOSEXUAL......AND HE HATES JESUS AND RONALD REAGAN!!!!!!!!!!

I actually saw that as a cartoon once.

My Japanese imperial friend said that in class one day and then mentioned how the republican party is stupid, he got in a fight because someone in the class was offended because the republican party is american and all ways right.

It doesn't really exist. NPR is pretty non-partisan, even when it comes to their opinion pieces. But it's no C-SPAN.

They may not be biased, but it is fairly obvious that they have liberal tendencies. Not that that is a bad thing, or like FOX level, but they do seem to tend toward a liberal attitude. However, I do have to commend them on fact based journalism none the less.

It has long been standard Republican practice to attack NPR, two recent incidents have inflamed opinion on the right. Last October the network fired Juan Williams, a news analyst, for remarks about Islam that he made on a Fox News programme. Mr Williams is also a paid commentator for Fox, and some thought it was less his comments that disturbed the network’s top brass than his association with the conservative news channel. Those suspicions were reinforced earlier that year, when a video appeared to show the network’s top fund-raiser making disparaging comments about Republicans. Though the tape was deceptively edited, the fallout cost NPR’s president her job.

On-air bias is even tougher to prove and difficult to define. An analysis during George W. Bush’s presidency measured bias by support for administration policies, a questionable method. Other studies have shown that the network marginally prefers conservative guests. More recently the Pew Research Centre found that NPR’s coverage of Barack Obama’s first 100 days in office was less fawning than most other broadcasters’.

The real problem for NPR may be its listeners. According to Pew, the network’s audience is 40% Democratic and only 14% Republican. So even if NPR is not left-leaning, it may have the appearance of being so, a perception that is reinforced by the way many Democrats vehemently defend the network.

Sounds like there was quite the debate...

If he's in Japan, his friend is right. Otherwise he's on crack.

Nope hes in america, he was trolling the class and called the republican people in the class all a bunch of morons who need to get there facts straight and resort back to classical conservatism.

I REALLY would like to meet this friend of yours now...

I meant to say that if they were in Japan, that the correct position to take is that America is always right.

I keep trying to get him to join but im pretty sure he would be the return of Che? tough he calls me a real life Che. I would love to see him argue against Kali one day.

Umm... not sure about that one.

Try harder. Say that there are Chinese nationalist(s) to put in their place on the forums. Challenge his honour. If he refuses, challenge whether he has honour. He'll come on. I'm all but sure of it.
LOL.

Your friend seems like a douche. i would have kicked his ass, and I'm not even republican.

I hear things like this from pretty much anybody who feels that their beliefs are being challenged.

Well you have to understand we where discussing homosexuality in class and the republican side was like they should all be hanged, and he argued that it was immoral and how republicans are some of the most disrespectful vile people he knows. He won the fight.

Probably should have brought that up earlier. Now it make more sense and seems less like a 'Japan is great, everything else is crappy' speech by your 'imperial Japanese friend'.

NPR is pretty non-partisan. Besides, the quality of its programming and the stories they air are among the best on American radio. Republicans will vehemently attack anything that doesn't agree or questions their agenda, which is frankly sad.
