Has anyone noticed how biased MPR is for the democratic party? I can't even listen to them around election time. They slip in little comments or present slanted stories that make the republican party or their agendas look bad. And it's not just around election time. Anytime there is something in the news that is a left vs right topic MPR clearly leans to the left. A good example was all of their anti-gun stories post Sandy Hook.
I don't align myself with a political party. When I listen to news or radio programs I don't want political agendas pushed on me, if I did I would listen to FOX or MSNBC. I typically jam music when I'm in my car but when I'm not I listen to MPR but I have found myself shutting it off constantly because I don't like listening to biased news.
The reason I ask is every time they do a member donation drive they always stress that they are one of the few stations that present a non-biased view although that is clearly not true. Their first bullet in their ethics guidelines is "◾We are unbiased and non-partisan in our reporting." They aren't as direct as most news companies but they are certainly biased and partisan for the libs.
I believe public radio gets some of their operating money from grants from our government. If I am not correct on that let me know, I didn't really have the time to research it out. If they are receiving tax payer money they should not be biased towards one party or the other and should be held accountable if they are. Just my little rant for the day.
