bq.. In its Saturday morning, October 29, 2005, weekly news commentary, NPR recounted the history of events leading to the indictment of I. Lewis Libby in the Valerie Plame spy-outing case.  Among other things, NPR described the sensationalist, anti-Bush charges made by Joseph Wilson, Plame’s husband, as if they were verified truth. 

NPR failed to mention either that Mr. Wilson was a paid flack for Senator Kerry’s presidential campaign, or that the bi-partisan Senate Intelligence Committee report issued in July, 2004, refuted all of his major assertions.

p. I listen to NPR every day, for some reason, but I've always noticed this. Back when Israel and Palestinians were throwing explosions at each other, NPR always managed to twist the reporting as so:

• "Palestinian freedom fighters successfully attacked an Israeli target today..." [insert sound bite of Palestinians cheering]
• "Israeli military forces destroyed a civilian neighborhood today, searching for a Palestinian freedom fighter that few believe lived in the neighborhood..." [insert unfortunate interview that explains that the Israeli army had one misguided tank shot that hit the middle of the street, injuring three]

And so on. They've always done this. NPR is the liberal media, and it's disgusting.
