<P><FONT face=Arial>"NPR’s own official ombudsman, Jeffrey Dvorkin, admitted a
liberal bias in NPR’s talk programming. The daily program "Fresh Air with Terry
Gross" – a 60-minute talk show about the arts, literature, and also politics –
airs on 378 public-radio stations across the fruited plain. Gross recently
became a hot topic on journalism Web sites for first having a friendly, giggly
interview with "satirist" Al Franken, promoting his obnoxious screed against
conservatives on September 3, and then on October 8, unloading an accusatory,
hostile interview on Bill O’Reilly. She pressed the Fox host to respond to the
obnoxious attacks of Franken and other critics. Dvorkin ruled: "Unfortunately,
the [O'Reilly] interview only served to confirm the belief, held by some, in
NPR's liberal media bias....by coming across as a pro-Franken partisan rather
than a neutral and curious journalist, Gross did almost nothing that might have
allowed the interview to develop."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>I guess Mr. Ramalingam and Mr. Hayman must be right, no
liberal bias at NPR, no sir, none at all.</FONT></P>
