	National Public Radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NPR was created in 1970, following the passage of the Public Broadcasting Act in 1967 which established the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and also led to the creation of the Public Broadcasting Service.
		NPR member stations also receive private and government funding, but are famous for raising money through on-air pledge drives, during which programming is interrupted and listeners are encouraged to donate money to keep the station on the air.
		NPR attracted these new listeners at the same time that the size of the overall radio audience in the United States was decreasing rapidly as people abandoned the medium in favor of iPods (and similar devices) and satellite radio.

	"All Things Considerate" by Brian Montopoli
		NPR's ascendancy has been striking--"Morning Edition" and "All Things Considered," its drivetime shows, are the second and third most popular radio programs in the country, and the network's listenership continues to grow--up 18.5 percent in 2001 alone.
		NPR's endowment is maintained in large part to protect NPR news against periods of recession, when underwriting revenues dry up; PRI's program fund is designed to seek out innovative shows and "engage broader audiences." And NPR is, in part, hemmed in by its corporate structure.
		NPR today, after all, is sharper than it was 15 years ago, more soccer mom than radical chic; there are fewer pieces on Guatemalan macrame co-ops and more on the latest in Internet filters.

		NPR is preoccupied with AIDS and homosexual and women's rights, while government misspending and the rights of taxpayers are routinely ignored.
		NPR's Nina Totenberg recently referred to the just passed tax cut as "really stupid," and their senior commentator, Daniel Schorr, continues week after week to spout false Keynesian nostrums about the economy that he learned a half-century ago.

	NPR's bias
		In December of 1989 NPR conducted an editorial essay, masked as a "news feature," in support of gun control.
		In one broadcast NPR reporter Nina Totenberg said "(t)here may be a lively debate about whether the Constitution confers on individuals the right to bear arms, but that debate is not going on in America's courts, its law schools, or its scholarly legal journals.
		NPR reported on a vote by the Fresno, California, City Council, on whether to require the issuance of concealed weapons carry permits to any citizen who is not disqualified.

	FAIR ACTION ALERT:
		As NPR editor Ken Rudin once explained to me, the arrival of a Republican majority in Congress in 1994 for the first time in 40 years was a shock for most of the Washington press corps -- NPR included.
		I have criticized NPR in the past for its narrow reliance on a few bright men (and they are overwhelmingly male).
		We compared the tilt toward Republicans in 2003 (61 percent to 38 percent) with that found in 1993 (57 percent to 42 percent) to indicate that the tilt is not based on which party is in power--with control of the White House and both houses of Congress reversed, the imbalance remains.

		NPR legal correspondent, Nina Totenberg: Well no administration ever wants an independent overseer, and there are very good career people who are in charge of this investigation, but it could get hairy.
		Because it is cost prohibitive and repetitive for NPR to provide text and audio of every feed, it is our practice to use, for archival purposes, the last and most up-to-date, feed of each program as the final text.
		NPR's policy of using the last version of the audio as a master for the transcript, no matter the reason for the edits, ensures a weaker version of any reporter's efforts to ferret out the truth, in this writer's opinion.

		In the past few years, supporters of Israel have effectively targeted NPR as the poster child for egregious anti-Israel bias.
		And when protesters chant, as they did on Monday night, that ''NPR distorts the news, covers up attacks on Jews,'' it's a sign that animus against public radio is reaching toxic levels.

	Wired News: NPR Retreats, Link Stink Lingers
		Links to NPR's site "should not (a) suggest that NPR promotes or endorses any third party's causes, ideas, websites, products or services, or (b) use NPR content for inappropriate commercial purposes," according to a new policy posted on Thursday.
		But she added that NPR still believes that there can be "inappropriate links" to its site, and that "if our legal department found an incident of linking that was inappropriate to the point of being harmful," NPR would ask them to remove the links.
		NPR, said Doctorow, is pretending otherwise -- that links mean something, an endorsement or possibly a breach of copyright, and "that they have the right or ability to withhold permission because of that."

	Fact-esque: NPR
		According to the report I heard today on NPR's Morning Edition, "this development is affecting the very structure of society" because while it's not a big deal when you're talking about a population of 1000, it gets to be a big deal when we're talking about hundreds of millions.
		Liasson (seriouly sign up to watch her here) tells us that "he said he wants to work on behalf of like-minded candidates down ballot, whatever that means." So, Ms.
		My mother, who is an RN and currently has a career in finance but has never worked in politics professionally and who tipped me to this story, knows that "down ballot" traditionally means the spots on the ballot under Governor.

	Wired News: Public Protests NPR Link Policy
		Doctorow also called NPR's policy "brutally stupid" and he compared the nonprofit organization's actions to those of KPMG, the multinational tax and audit firm that informed a handful of webmasters last year that they needed a "formal agreement" to link to the company's site.
		Reached for comment by phone, Jeffrey Dvorkin, NPR's ombudsman, said that he'd received between 20 and 30 e-mail messages asking about the policy and that he'd responded to all of them.
		Dvorkin said he told the e-mailers "that NPR does not refuse links but it just wants to make sure that the links are appropriate to a noncommercial and journalistic organization.

	NPR failed to correct congressman's misleading ... [Media Matters] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		NPR failed to correct congressman's misleading claim about Social Security cap
		On the February 24 edition of National Public Radio's (NPR) All Things Considered, correspondent Brian Naylor, who has covered Congress for NPR for almost ten years, failed to correct a misleading claim made by Representative Chris Chocola (R-IN) about the impact of removing the cap on income subject to Social Security payroll taxes.
		As Media Matters previously explained (when The New York Times echoed a similar claim by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX)), this seven-year figure refers only to the effect that lifting the cap would have on the date when the program stops running annual surpluses.
