    And if it is not right down the middle, it is at least fair and balanced.

      of course not. but they're the best at covering it up. they also have much more interesting/compelling features than just about anyone else. plus, car talk.

        The call of the question was what's the least biased. I've expressed my love- hate relationship with NPR.

          Car talk is going away.

            No kidding. People (not you Cam) hear sterile, temperate NPR monotone as representing some kind of objectivity.

            I've interacted w/ NPR execs over the past few years and those cats aren't running an unbiased operation. But their bias is usually evident in the things they don't talk about more than in the things they do.

                One time I was driving home from work while listening to NPR and heard the announcer say, "The State Of Things is brought to you by.... Subaru of Chapel Hill." I burst into laughter that lasted me the rest of the day. At least they know their audience!

                    I'd say that's true of most of the press. Benghazi, anyone?

                      i definitely agree with this. npr has a slant that is probably associated with their listener base (many of whom are obnoxious, self-righteous yuppies). they're not great at a lot of things but i feel like they do manage to avoid the news as entertainment spectacle that is found on fox/msnbc too frequently. one bonus i forgot to mention is market place, which is well done.

                      i also read nro and the wsj most days for stuff i can't get on npr. maybe the most important thing other than being able to see past bias on one's own is to get info from a diversity of sources. google news is really good for that.

                        I watched the brief post-debate coverage on NBC last night and thought it seemed pretty fair and objective. They all said Mitt won the debate.

                        Really I think the major network coverage is actually pretty unbiased still.
