NPR’S BLINDFOLD: Check out NPR’s ombudsman, Jeffrey Dworkin, with regard to claims of liberal bias:
“There are certainly those who object to what they perceive as liberal bias on the radio. That is something of a constant these days. But my own view is that NPR has been quite careful to present voices from both sides of issues. If anything,” he says, “we may have put more conservatives on in recent months. I think what some people are reacting to is that when the Clinton administration was in office, we put on critics of those policies. That is normal. But we were accused of being too conservative. Now, with conservatives are in power, when our reporting includes critics of the Bush administration, we’re accused of a liberal bias.”
