I don't listen to NPR, Bill. Its liberal bias is a bit too strong for me.
 
I TRIED listening to NPR once, in the last couple years. They had a conservative guest on, that was SUPPOSED to provide the argument for how much Trump had accomplished in his first year and was doing much better than anyone expected. Just a couple sentences in, a liberal, who was supposed to provide counter-point to the conservative, AFTER they were done with their argument, started interrupting, and then talking OVER the conservative. The NPR host let the liberal do this, without attempting to stop them. I listened to a few more minutes of this, then gave up. The conservative, who was invited to the show, wasn't allowed to get their points across. THIS is why I don't listen to NPR.
 
The show is aired on NPR, it is not produced on NPR...

This show is a debate where 4 ppl~two sides debate an issue & the winner is decided by how much they sway the audience..

Obviously no one here listens to the program or probably any other program about debating as they come to argue, not debate..

& that is the upper crust, the rest are here just to troll on their break or slog home on the bus or train.......
