I don't have a transcript of today's episode of Morning Edition on NPR, but the audio is here: (Warning: Will autoplay when loaded) http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=286646561&m=286646571&live=1 The program opens right at 00:00, with the claim, "A...

Just listening to the NPR program on Mormonism. It's pretty slanted to a pro-Mormon position. A caller just got away with characterizing the history of the church as being unfairly persecuted by others. I suspect we won't hear anything about racism and massacres.

I'm not certain, but if I heard the radio correctly, Penn Jillette is going to be on NPR's Talk of the Nation tomorrow (Tuesday) to talk about his book God, No! Steve S

A great program on 'On The Media' discussing bias in reporting Is NPR Biased Basically they hired a guy, from PEW I think, to analyze NPR's coverage in comparison to the media as a whole. The transcript will be available tomorrow and I am sure there will be some interesting direct quotes but...

Heard a great interview on NPR the other evening between Bob Garfield, cohost of the news program "On the Media," and conservative smear-artist James O'Keefe. O'Keefe attempts to justify outright fabrication: http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2011/03/18/05

An NPR exec just fell for a James O'Keefe stunt, apparently, and in my opinion, this is perfectly timed to be used as ammunition in the NPR defunding fight that's going on right now. With the way Congress has reacted to this sort of thing in the past, I'd be very surprised if NPR is funded at...

I wish he had spoken out during the campaign, but at least he's talking now. http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=13&prgDate=11-18-2008&view=storyview Is or was he a terrorist? No. Was he seriously misguided? Yes. Is there any substantial connection between him and...

NPR's Diane Rehm Still Spreading Canard that "Joe The Plumber" Isn't Registered Voter This morning on Diane Rehm's radio show, Rehm repeated the liberal blog rumor as fact that Samuel Joseph Worzelbacher (aka Joe The Plumber) was not even registered to vote. Susan Page of USA Today had to...

I did a quick look to see if this was posted, and I did not see it yet. Forgive me if it has. It is an essay from NPR. I Am Evolution by Holly Dunsworth

Would it kill NPR, a taxpayer funded, as well as donor funded, medium, to have one program hosted by a conservative? How about even a conservative substitute host on The Diane Rhem Show (the only show named after its host, why?), during her frequent absences...

Did anyone here this story on Weekend Edition Sunday this morning about the language of the Piraha people in Brazil? Dan Everett went there as a Christian missionary in his 20's, learned their difficult language over a few years, but couldn't get them to convert to Christianity. Apparently...

Good show. The question is, "are science and religion reconcilable?" Tomorrow, they're having on a microbiologist who claims to see "God's Plan" in DNA... The show was well handled. The host, Terri Gross, essentially just let Dawkins explain his ideas. I believe these are available from...

Why do the people on NPR sound like they have way to much saliva in their mouths? Just spit or something! All that smacking and slurping, am I off my rocker here or does it just drive anyone else crazy. /Demi, it's the small things.

If you're an NPR fan, Science Friday is a long-running and excellent interview show on all sorts of scientific topics. They've been advertising Dawkins on today's show.

The second hour of Talk of the Nation will interview Jim Meigs, (editor-in-chief of Popular Mechanics) and Bob Goldberg (professor of history at the University of Utah; author of Enemies Within: The Culture of Conspiracy in Modern America.) Sirius satellite radio listeners can hear a repeat...

The guest for Prime Time Radio today (Aug 2) is an author who has tracked the self-help industry for decades. He's really showing it for the bs it is. It's like Penn & Teller on the radio. You can check here to see when the show is archived.

Michael Shermer is supposed to be a guest today on TechNation during the second half of the show, which runs from 1-2pm EST. The topic is the Baloney Detection Kit. TechNation may be on at different times according to your local NPR station's own schedule.

This David Riley (sp?) guy is on NPR right now. Apparently he's some well known homeopathy/alternative medicine proponent. He's dodging questions about how homeopathy works right now. He says the Lancet did a study that said it worked 2 1/2 times better than placebo. Is that right? Now...

On the 12/29/03 Diana Rhem show: It's just starting on my local NPR station, so I am bracing for festival of woo. The show will be archived quickly, so follow the link and listen at your pleasure.

I heard Bill O'Reilly up in arms about being 'ambushed' on NPR. Went to his website and NPR's website and I could not get the audio files. Anybody else know what transpired? It was the Fresh Air show on NPR, yesterday and Bill O'Reilly was on and supposedly halted the interview? My guess is he...
