The Final End of "Real" News on the "Public" Airways

Mary at Pacific Views asks the question What Liberal Media?. It appears that NPR and CPB have taken a hard right.

And what about the fact that CPB (the Corporation of Public Broadcasting) can fund programs showcasing Paul Gigot and Tucker Carlson, while deciding that Bill Moyer's NOW program is too controversial to fund?

I used to be an NPR junkie but I find myself listening to it less and less. I live in Portland so I have the option of listening to Air America which I don't find particularly satisfying; largely left leaning Limbaugh type hot air. Al Franken is horrible IMHO. I guess what we need is a technological break through making radio blogs possible.
