Entertainment value: My friends and family find talk radio highly amusing, because when I listen, I occasionally become quite wrapped up in the dialogue; so much so that I have been known to stand in the middle of an empty room expounding my own contrary opinion toward the Sony, and at the top of my lungs, too.
It's a good thing I can't get any kind of reception on the crappy radio in my car.

i listen to NPR every day, and have for years and years and years.
i cannot hear any bias other than bias towards an audience that isn't seeking sensationalistic stories or worldview-reinforcing soundbytes.
maybe i'm missing something, but i find the most intelligent, nuanced, and informative reporting on NPR -- no place else.
it actually gives me hope that the average american isn't as simple as Madison Avenue would like to think.

Haven't you heard? If it's intelligent and truthful, it's "liberal." If it blathers on and on with the host screaming at callers who don't support the Bush Administration 100%, then it's "balanced."
