Politics aside, it will be hard for any new liberal radio network to outdo the professionalism of NPR.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have been an unabashed fan of NPR for many years, and have stolen untold excellent ideas from its programming.
I only got interested in radio once I talked my way into an internship at NPR's headquarters in Washington, D.C. in 1978, never having heard the network on the air.
I would appear on Fox News more easily than I would NPR.
The voice I've chosen to turn to is that of NPR. With a reputation for some of the finest journalism in the country, the nonprofit organization is renowned for its unbiased stance - to the point that it's been accused of being both conservative and liberal.
Conservative talk radio works because there are lots of conservatives who are convinced that they are not getting the whole story from the regular media.
Too many radio stations, all they do is syndicated programming, it's just piped in from some satellite someplace, and they don't have much of a connection to the community.
Radio stinks. The stations are making a lot of money, but they just aren't taking chances.
I listen to NPR a lot. I love that.
Radio, in a way, is preaching.
American media has just become talk radio, incredibly partisan name-calling and op-eds.
