This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Your take on the stories they report is dead on. by Domer84

I used to listen more when I would be on the road every Sunday for a long period of time. Now I listen several times a week when I'm commuting.

Too few of their "news" stories are about hard news. Everything they do seems to get connected back to some type of social justice cause. They're always seeking a way to take some neutral topic and spin it to the left.

Their interviews are even worse. They always bring on someone from the left, politician or expert, to talk about a topic. The interview questions are always leading questions which lay out the interviewees position exactly. The subject simply has to agree and expand. Never a probing question. I have never heard anyone on NPR interview anyone who could be considered conservative so I don't know what kind of questions they would ask in that instance.
