I've heard for years people calling NPR "the liberal radio"
I've listened to NPR lately I guarantee that most liberals would say that NPR is conservative radio in disguise, acting unbiased but still throwing republicans talking points every now and then.
Seems like nobody likes NPR.
Would America be better off if NPR was a "debate radio" that anytime NPR was going to talk about politics, they had to have 1 republican and 1 democrat exposing their points of view.
An example of this would be "Hannity & Colmes"
As much as I don't like Hannity, I used to enjoy that show because they would have debates and both republican and democrat would say their point of views about the issue.
I wish NPR was like "Hannity & Colmes"
I would listen to it all the time.
I find NPR way too conservative. however I find the "debate radio" that is so popular with Fox and such to have little substance and information, plus it just teaches people that the loudest, most obnoxious voice wins, not the one that makes the most sense.
If you spend some time listening to their news, you'll find that NPR is far far more informative than the fluff that Fox and CNN peddle as news.

Where did you hear that nobody likes NPR? Last March The Washington Post reported that NPR's audience grew by 9% with over 23 million people listening each week. Morning Edition alone has an audience of close to 8 million.
NPR also has debate style segments. The friday news round-up on The Diane Rehm Show and Talk of the Nation, which typically has people on the air with opposing view points, are both examples of this. I also agree with what was said before, I can't stand how people "debate" on cable news by yelling over one another. If that style of "debate" became common on NPR, I would probably stop listening.

I'm not voting on your poll because neither choice is acceptable, nor an accurate description of NPR.
The only version of 'debate' I care to hear is sober positions illustrated with fact checked evidence. I despise the BS I hear on FOX because it's world wrestling match drama crappioca where the truth is piled beneath 500 tons of posturing. Just tell the damned truth. 7yr olds know better than <alleged> grown adults. This is disgusting.
I listen to NPR every time I drive. I've listened for years and have never perceived it to be overtly liberal or conservative. It's always seemed very moderate or neutral to me. They pretty much just report the facts of a story and then move on to the next one. It's the way journalism is supposed to be. I trust it far more than I do CNN or FOX.
"No, I just like to listen to 1 person preach to me for hours what he thinks" You don't mention any NPR shows by name, so I can only imagine that you haven't spent much time listening and are just making assumptions based upon misinformation.
Try Science Friday or Wait, Wait. Fresh Air with Terry Gross has timeless interviews with all kinds of people. A story from ground zero of the earthquake in China made me weep. All Things Considered and Morning Edition...... Then there are the music shows- everything from blues to opera.
One of the treats about listening to NPR when traveling is hearing the great local shows produced by stations across the country, along with the "old friends" I listen to regularly at home.
I would just prefer all public funding be cut from NPR and PBS.
