I like having NPR around, and I hope this doesn't make it through the Senate, but let's not overrate NPR's worth as a news/commentary source either. They still won't use the T-word for "Enhanced Interrogations", their hosts mindlessly gobble up the propagandic talking points of scumbags from "think tanks" like the American Enterprise Institute and the Brookings Institution, their most "liberal" programming is largely apolitical identity/culture fare, and they spend far more time discussing Beltway kabuki than offering real policy analysis or confrontational journalism. It does offer more intelligent programming than commercial radio does, but it still has followed the same pattern of dumbing down and cozying up to the powerful that has been quite noticeable in the commercial MSM over the past 20-25 years.

The intelligence and journalistic value of programs on 90.9 definitely goes up significantly after midnight, when they broadcast the BBC feed. Even though at times it is a mouthpiece for the official British government/NWO-Bilderberg worldview, it still performs a valuable, cutting edge journalistic service. It's probably because journalism in the UK doesn't involve fellating the political and business elite on the air and at Georgetown cocktail parties.
