		<description>I find NPR frustrating to listen to.  They don&#039;t tend to ask hard questions of the left, and too many of their pieces show the same emotionalism as leftist writers on here, dispensing outrage or sympathy rather than real understanding of the issues.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Economist does a better job of presenting issues in a balanced way, such that even if one disagrees with their conclusion, one feels they at least presented the facts fairly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Economist has gotten better and worse as editors have come and gone, and they do have some blind spots.  They kind of lost it over Clinton&#039;s sex scandal, and like proper Englishmen they will occasionally indulge in French bashing.  A few years ago child kidnappings were up in France, and they reported &quot;The French are kidnapping more children than ever.&quot;</description>

		<description>Well heck the complete absence of bias would probably mean an absence of humanity as well. Nevertheless, NPR sets the standard when it comes to balanced, mature, and informative broadcasting. It isn&#039;t perfect by any means, but is close to being a voice of reason in a wilderness of noise. If there is anyone who does it better, please share.</description>
