- Bull. NPR has a balanced viewpoint. Most of their talking heads are clearly
- conservative. They balance off Nina Totenberger's liberal point of view
- with Cokie Roberts' kissing of every Republican ass that comes her way.

- However, since they deal much more with *issues*, and much less with
- image and controversy, than most other media, it's understandable that
- you would think this showed a bias against conservative points of view.
