A senior business editor with 25 years of experience at National Public Radio says something similar has happened at NPR. Instead of even trying to represent the views of the whole country, it became partisan.

"An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don’t have an audience that reflects America.

"Today, those who listen to NPR or read its coverage online find . . the distilled worldview of a very small segment of the U.S. population. 

He makes the good point that there would be nothing wrong with reporting only their own left-leaning point of view-- if they were honest about it. But they purport to "consider all things" -- and don't. In three examples, he shows how storylines follow talking points of politicians just from the left-leaning party to the exclusion of the other one.
