<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>
