I have removed the reference to the article from Media Research claiming that NPR "admitted" to a liberal bias. I have also eliminated the conclusion cited from the article that the NPR's programming is biased toward a liberal perspective. The article bases its claim on a concern expressed by NPR's ombudsman that an interview by Terry Gross seemed politically biased, and would lead people to believe that NPR was liberally biased, when in fact he did not believe it was. If the ombudsman's "admission" is truly what substantiates the claim that NPR programming is liberal, it should be linked directly, and not through an opinion article that draws a potentially unwarranted conclusion from it.--[[User:Webbpa|Webbpa]] 12:35, 9 October 2009 (EDT) | I have removed the reference to the article from Media Research claiming that NPR "admitted" to a liberal bias.

Elitist?
I'm not going to deny that NPR has a liberal bias, but it seems rather, I don't know, idiotic, to say that NPR reports having 26 million listeners that apparently trust it very well, then say that it is accused of being an elitist network. Is it saying that their reported 26 million listeners are all elitist? Shouldn't that be backed up by polls, or data?
I bolded "is accused of" because that's not very neutral or factual. Who accused it? When was it accused? What does "the other side" have to say about the accusation? --DrtyLb8 21:45, 3 May 2008 (EDT)
