I'd never heard of NPR until recently when I saw a couple of links to
some very good shows about the origins of the financial crisis. Since
then I've been following their Planet Money blog. We just don't seem
to get much decent journalism in this country.
And that country would be?
NPR in the U.S. is not in quite the same league as the BBC or CBC.
For one thing, they aren't actually a NATIONAL Public Radio. They get
minuscule tax support, although the government in power does get to name
their CEO and board and interfere in their operations if they don't toe
the approved party line.
Other than that, they're dependent on corporate donations and quarterly
beg-a-thons, so they won't go TOO far, lest they offend their corporate
masters.
