==Controversies==
[[NPR]]'s [[Nina Totenberg]] said on air of Sen. [[Jesse Helms]]' claim that the government may be spending too much on AIDS research,
:''I think he ought to be worried about what's going on in the Good Lord's mind, because if there is retributive justice, he'll get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it."<ref>Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio, July 8, 1995, Inside Washington.</ref>
New Orleans-based National Public Radio commentator Andrei Codrescu said of [[Christian]]s,
:''The [[Rapture]], and I quote, 'is the immediate departure from this Earth of over four million people in less than a fifth of a second,' unquote. This happily-volatilized mass of the saved were born again in [[Jesus Christ]]....The evaporation of four million people who believe this crap would leave the world an instantly better place.''<ref>Andrei Codrescu, ''All Things Considered'', December 19, 1995.</ref>
Michel Martin, host of NPR’s ''Tell Me More'', on [[CNN]] had this exchange with Margeret Carlson:
:MARGARET CARLSON: ''And wouldn’t it be a great thing if they moved it a few blocks? And Muslims and Americans who still worry would be talking to each other. Let’s compromise.''
:MICHEL MARTIN (NPR): ''Why should they move it?''
:CARLSON: ''Well, why don’t we compromise?''
:MARTIN (NPR): ''Did anybody move a Catholic church? Did anybody move a Christian church after [[Timothy McVeigh]] – who adhered to a cultic, white supremacist cultic version of Christianity – [[Oklahoma City bombing|bombed the Murrah building in Oklahoma]]?''<ref>CNN's ''Reliable Sources'', August 22, 2010.</ref>
