But it _is_ the issue. I would argue that the conservative media is better because it is unapologetic about its bias. Rush doesn't pretend to be non-partisan. He is on the air because he can make it in a free market. NPR pretends to be unbiased, of course. In that it is wrong in two ways - it can't make it on its own, _and_ it's dishonest. But it doesn't matter. You have a right to be biased on the radio. You even have a right to be dishonest about it (sort of). You do _not_ have a right to do it with _my tax dollars_. Your opinions can't make it on their own? That is not my problem. You don't have the right to take money from me by force to support _your_ opinions. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
