I listen to NPR sometimes on Sun a.m. in the car while other stations are on infomercials, and the bias at times is absolutely astounding. The aloof eliteness, the arrogant implied superiority that says "if you were as intelligent as we are you'd surely arise to our evolved view of the world".

This is bought and paid for by progressive foundations and thinktanks and they are NOT blind or stupid to what it is that they do.
