This is incredible. Thank you for posting. The NPR I started listening to back in 2006 was so chill and reasonable. It actually succeeded in moving my views to the left.

I still remember Cokie Roberts and Nina Totenberg hammering away at South Africa's government to destabilize it in the late 1980s. They worshiped the "freedom fighter" Oliver Tambo of the ANC, I had to read the English version of Praavda to learn that the ANC was a communist group supported by the then Soviet Union. No mention of that by NPR. They've always been hardcore leftists.

EDIT: This is a good read!
