• On April 12, 2011, by Sxeptomaniac - "Hostile Media Effect". Google that, and it explains why conservative claims of an NPR bias should be taken with more than a little skepticism. An underhanded bill that the GOP attempted to rush through before the original sting video was found to be not nearly as incriminating as initially claimed through deceptive editing.
