There’s just so much wrong with this statement, where do we begin? It’s an amazing stretch of the imagination to think NPR is “objective” in its reporting. However, if your basis for decent reporting is Media Matters, that might explain your massive blind spot for actual journalism.
Colby Hall over at Mediaite observes:
Calling Media Matters “objective” is an interesting choice of words, since they define themselves as a “progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.”

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 10:37pmNPR has never been objective. When I was younger, the older folks would refer to the NPR crowd as hippies. They were always the Birkenstock Subaru (sorry blaze subaru owners) granola professor types. Even when I went through my teenage liberal rebellion phase, NPR was too much. So, objective? HAHAHA

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 10:26pmLooking down from Canada. I have previously supported Public Broadcasting – now I will not. This PC thing has gone too far where normal even those not so rational feelings cannot be expressed. We have often shopped in your border states, but now we need special documents or passports to get in while your southern border is so wide open…..what are they buying? What are we costing you other than depressing sales in the north. All little of topic but it needs to be said.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 10:06pmIn the small elitist world of the left wing extremist types like Media Matters and their associates, I suppose the definition of “objective” has a different definition than Websters or Wikipedia.
Report Post »To come out with this ridiculous statement after so many days of real reporting on NPR’s bias demonstrates Media Matters disconnection with reality. Behar also further discredited herself as having any kind of sense at all. (common or otherwise).
The pseudointellectuals blather amongst themselves proving their disdain for America on a daily basis.
BRAVEHEART
Posted on October 25, 2010 at 10:45pmYour analysis is correct, being truly objective is beyond the scope of their mental perception. The relentless bias that permeates everything they encounter has encased these demagogues in a prison of self blinding predjidice and liberal bias.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 10:12pmCalling Media Matters “objective” is an interesting choice of words, since they define themselves as a “progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.”
Correcting conservative misinformation – guess they just will not cover it with the truth, the theme song for Media Matters should be “tell me lies, lies, lies…my mind is already made up…”
Anyone actually believe this garbage…if anyone could somehow comprehend NPR is not a political commentary machine for the left and Progressives, maybe they should invest in iron pyrite (fools gold)

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 10:41pm“Calling Media Matters ‘Objective’…” and also dedicated to the monitoring, analyzing, and correction of conservative misinformation is interesting. I fail to understand, comprehend, or even deduce by any means of logic that they fail to get it that the People of America are no longer falling for this. NPR is just another wing of the Progressives.
However, when absolutely nothing else is on, just listening to it would make for a nice comedy show just below the performance of the old movie “water world.”
