How does anyone tolerate NPR? (CNN, regular, suspect, brainwashing)

Exactly. Ours happens to play jazz when they're not playing NPR programming. Others play classical music.

So, you never listen but you are adamant in your view that they do not discuss both sides of the story. How.....interesting.

I have only recently started listening to NPR and i dont really understand what the hate is about. 80% of it is classical music. 10% is them repeating the same news blast over and over again. And the other 10% is talk shows.

Because it's a better investment than Solyndra?

How long have you been attracted to other men?

I can tolerate it be because NPR is pretty goddamn good. That's how.

But Fox has nothing even close to Car Talk. Tom and Ray have had me in stitches for decades

NPR isn't a music station.

Luckily for us in Dallas, we have an excellent NPR affiliate (KERA 90.1) and an outstanding public music station (KXT, 91.7). If you want music, don't listen to NPR. Seriously?!?!?!?!
