I was listening to the radio this morning and there was a piece on how a candidate's voice is important to acceptance by voters. The first voice was McCain's and he was clearly characterized as being an old man that people could not trust because of its weak and wavering quality. The characterizations of Obama's and Clinton's voices were hardly intelligible and were wishy-washy characterizations given by inarticulate people. The message that stuck was that McCain is a weak old man.

Expect more of this.

Also, start listening to public radio between 7:30am and 7:50am, which is prime time for driving and see how much negative news is given about Republicans and how much positive news is given about Democrats. This pattern will persist until election day. It always does.

By listening to the FUNDING CREDITS for NPR, one should quickly realize that it is thru, RICH LIBERALS. This is not a secret, and nothing less should be expected.
 As far as McCain being weak, I believe that he IS WEAK in regards to Conservatism, and is a "Liberal in Conservative Clothing". In other words; A liar. Tho McCain is a "LESSOR OF THE TWO EVILS", HE IS "EVIL", JUST THE SAME.
Only a Liberal would believe anything NPR said any way. JMO

NPR is absurd in this regard.  Notice that they refer to the "contenders" in the current Presidential contest as Clinton and Obama.  No republican is given even passing regard in their reports as having a chance of election.  It appears that NPR believes that the general election will be Obama v. Clinton.  They 'll probably throw their non-socialist listeners a bone and suggest that McCain can be Clinton's running mate. 

Should change their name to NSPR:  National Socialist Public Radio, because that is what they truly represent.

So you're saying that our tax money is subsidizing a left-wing, socialist propaganda machine--outrageous, huh.  NPR=nothing pro Republican.

azmike! You beat me to it. I always refer to them as socialistic  myself. Only  I  say it NPSR not NSPR. Thats why this is my favorite place to go on the web. People who's views are similar to my own.

The air may be public but to sustain a station you must make profit !
No matter the host it has become entertainment with its goal to MAKE LOTS OF MONEY ! So as to stay on the air and make the owners rich .
NEWS ? WHAT DO THEY WANT TO HEAR ?
My question is who taught who the talk show host/news anchors or the Politicians how to twist events enough to mislead the public ?
If ya can see it ya can hit it !

All Things Left Wing Considered!

I remember during the '04 election season they had a series where they interviewed
supposedly "undecided" voters who weren't sure whether they were going to vote for Kerry or Bush.
After the election was over it was revealed (by someone other than NPR) that some of these
"undecided" voters had donated money to the Kerry campaign before this series had even started.
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."

I listen to NPR for many pieces unrelated to politics.  Mostly ATC.  Production quality is very high.  Pieces are long and designed to keep your interest.  I don't have to listen to the weather or traffic reports, both of which I can immediately sense because I am driving outdoors.  No boring commercials about car dealers, home waterproofing, and underwear sales.  I used to be upset that "my" tax dollars were used.  Then I decided that the only tax dollars used came from people who agreed with the NPR politics, so it was OK after all.  You gotta realize the budget is way small compared to many programs, and can easily be 'funded' by people who agree with the programming.

There well might be some programing on NPR that is worthwhile and as such, it should be allowed to go out and compete in the free enterprise system and not suffer the embarrassment of having to be subsidized and thus sullied.  It is true that much if not nearly all of the programming on commercial media is of mediocre quality at best, but that is no excuse to give special consideration and airing to elitist stuff that some think is above having to compete.

My tax contribution to NPR might be minuscule, but even if it is a fraction of a penny, it's too much if it goes toward keeping that commie bastard Bill Moyers on the air.

Chipster;
  By what manner did you come to the conclusion that only lib/Dem? socialist's taxes were used to fund ?
  How do they keep those tax funds separate ?
   Frankly, that sounds like a lot of Barbra Streisand ..to me..but here's your chance to elucidate us upon how it is done....
