How Much Do NPR Listeners Hate Fox News? Very Intensely
On the April 7 All Things Considered , NPR's David Folkenflik reported on Fox News anchor Bret Baier, and announced his own research showed Baier's “all-star” panel on Special Report was very tilted to the conservative side. But none of that apparently pleased NPR fans. On Monday night, anchors read from the listener mail , and they were furious Fox was even considered on All Things Considered: ROBERT SIEGEL: Debra Craig of Rochester, New York, was not impressed. She writes this: Wow. I am not listening to NPR to hear stories about Fox News or Fox News reporters. It is pretty obnoxious and a very blatant attempt to present the fair and balanced the far right conservatives bully you for [sic]. Please don't. It insults the intelligence and sensibilities of the rest of us, your listeners and supporters. And we heard this from Gregory Adamo of Metuchen, New Jersey: I was surprised that you waited almost a week to do your April Fools segment. Treating the Republican propaganda machine as a legitimate news organization must be a joke.
