I love NPR, but I don't think it can be unbiased, and I think the maintenence of the pretense hurts it. (I can't stomach Bill Moyer myself, but the fact that it even looks like he was pressured out is bad). Also, on principle I don't like the government being in broadcasting. CSPAN is fine. CSPAN makes sense as public broadcasting. Morning Edition doesn't. How do I square this with my impulse to defend the BBC? I don't. Something about the BBC being international, and serving humanity in a way that NPR simply isn't and doesn't. Something about public broadcasting being a cobbled mess of half-measures, constitutionally and irritatingly elitist, due to it's dependence on the like-minded wealthy for it's funding. I'd be happy if it sword off either federal funding or corporate and private funding, I'm not too bothered which. I may change my mind in any direction at any time. _

I feel I have been more than reasonable, and shall now stop being so. _
