I love the FM side of NPR here because it has the only classical music offering I can get in the car for the drive to and from work.

But the news, especially the extended stuff NPR broadcasts on the AM side really makes me cringe sometimes. It's spun in a decidedly negative way, which makes it suspect**, imo. I listen to it simply because I try to get news from all sorts of sources.

**Yeah, I realize that pretty much all media is suspect...everyone has an axe to grind and an agenda to promote. But some media outlets do a better job of stuffing the agenda into the backseat, so to speak. NPR's agenda, though, rides up front and ocassionally grabs the wheel.
