Guest: Without diverging more from the Bob Edwards intent of this thread I will just comment your thoughts about the editorial slants of newspapers. Quite true----but, supposedly, that should be on the editorial and Op Ed pages. The news pages are supposedly factual. I grant you that many tabloids do not adhere to that.

That said I wonder if you have ever heard a "newscast" on BAI---as opposed to its "talk" or "interview" programs. I do believe that there you can see a lot of the selection of items and how they are presented to adhere to the station's agenda. But, I guess this should all be for another thread and I, for one, still have the opinion that PBS and NPR are what one can call "fair and balanced"   That, I suppose, is what makes a horse race---as they say about differences of opinion.

Now---shall we return the original intent of the thread---I recall it was the "kicking upstairs" of Mr. Edwards.
