Subject: RE: BS: Rush Limbaugh
Speaking of objectivity, nobody pretends that NPR isn't left-of-center, but the ONE TIME I heard abortion talked about even-handedly, it was on NPR. Terry Gross interviewed the head of NARAL and the head of the national right-to-life group (I forget the exact acronym). She asked intelligent and pointed questions of each, and was respectful and patient with each. Near as I could tell, she gave both sides equal time and equal consideration. (I was listening with a very prejudiced ear, and certainly was not expecting this!)

Then again when you think about it, giving the other side a chance to air their ideas is more a "liberal" than a "conservative" thing to do....
