Just wondering who here is an idiot easily swayed by punditry and who here likes to think for themselves...

How can you say NPR is biased? They simply present information, the only place for bias is in which stories get coverage and which don't. Most of it is specific-interest anyway, not general-interest People magazine sh*t.
Fox does have some pretty girls, but I get sick watching them. It's like drinking too much Jack Daniels and getting sick from it, and then you don't like Jack Daniels any more... I don't want that to happen with pretty women.

HAhahaha, someone actually said Fox News attempts to be balanced. That's just plain silly.

I'm easily swayed by the punditry, and I enjoy the fact that it's not necessary to think. Sometimes, I enjoy being told what to think, considering I spend the majority of my day making decisions. ;)

NPR and Fox are interesting contrasts,
There is a more noticable bias on Fox of course. NPR is also biased but it is usually significantly less pronounced.
Furthermore, they are not quite in the same business.
One presents questions and interviews people and then here questions that I sometimes find myself wondering before the question is asked "Oh , I wonder if they'll ask Mr/Mrs X that..." and find enjoyment when I get an answer to a question I don't know.
With the other outlet I can also guess , know or hope, what the questions will be ahead of time, however I also usually can predict the acceptable answers as well.

I prefer NPR because they always just simply tell the news and what's really happening. You don't get that stupid Republican swayed **** like you do from FOX. They twist around everything like what John Kerry said a few months ago. But NPR actually played a clip of what he said and then let people call in to interpret it. By the way, he was talking about Bush, not the soldiers in Iraq. It just goes to show that NPR just lays down the facts while some channels such as FOX are bias and lean towards either a Republican/Democratic side.

Every news orginization these days is biased. NPR, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, HEADLINE NEWS, etc. If you are trying to get people on here to say that NPR is the best place for news, that's sad.....because NPR is full of crap. I tend to watch FOX more than the others, but I do get my news from many sources a day.

Both NPR and Fox News are equally biased. But I watch Fox cause of all the fine women.

NPR is way too leftist more so than the Fox crew is right leaning so I gotta go with Fox News for their attempted objectivity

Far Left or Far Right. I listen to both so I am completely informed but I really prefer the Stephen Colbert repor(t) and the Dailey Show. Again leftish and rightish but like the fact that they don't pull punches.

NPR is just an Air America, kept afloat only by tax subsidies. They'd be gone in two months if they had to compete in the open advertising market with the other, commercial networks. Bottom line.. nobody listens to them.

I simply vote NPR, fox news is very, very biased.
P.S. NPR isn't perfect, but clearly the lesser of two evils.
