And, and -. from New York Public Radio in accordance with our Terms of Use. It happens all the time, which is why we'd like you to keep a diary. It seemed like mainstream news coverage, very factual, a lot of on-the-ground reporting, a lot of context. And I don't mind that that person was on NPR, but I've listened to NPR for years and I've heard many, many religious shows, and I have not once got to the end of the show and thought, man, I am so glad that that guy was on there. I think it’s excellent. So I asked him if he found measuring bias to be a particularly sticky wicket. The New York Times has the highest proportion of adults ages 18 to 29 who name it as their main source, at 29%. It was just obvious that the anchors on Morning Edition and, and the other shows that followed were happy. Various allegations of bias against conservatives have arisen throughout NPR's history. First, Totenberg said Boykin's remarks were "seriously bad stuff," and then she said, "I hope he's not long for this world." For most people, NPR is whatever they hear when they tune in to public radio. Now, he can believe that. They might be wrong or they might be right. NPR may as well have suggested it was time for a different president. Share this on Facebook (Opens in a new window), Share this on Twitter (Opens in a new window). In the U.S. the office of the President is restricted to two four year terms. First of all, when you are gonna say that something’s biased, you have to have some sense then of what would be unbiased, what would be perfectly accurate on some subject. Totenberg used this very same TV show to wish in 1995 that if the "Good Lord" knew justice, Senator Jesse Helms will "get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it.". His three primary, supposedly nonpartisan "experts" were Ivo Daalder, a member of Clinton's National Security Council; Michael Mandelbaum, a foreign policy adviser to the 1992 Clinton campaign; and John Mearshimer, a regular critic of Bush foreign policy who argued in Foreign Policy magazine that Iraq should have remained under "vigilant containment," which we could also describe as maintaining a murderous tyrant in power. SAM NEGUS:  No, you - you know, Ira, I'm, I'm -. GoToQuiz.com has no affiliation with the political compass web site). So I listen - I listened to the same report this morning, and I particularly listened to the, to the abortion discussion because I knew we were gonna be having this conversation this afternoon. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but where does that leave NPR? Perhaps the biggest public-relations problems for NPR come when its liberal reporters hit the weekend talk-show circuit and let their opinions fly wildly. SAM NEGUS:  Yeah. DANIEL HALLIN:  At what point would we decide that global warming is not really a legitimate subject of controversy anymore? ", Don't buy that for a minute. So, consider this statement made by the co-host of NPR’s On the Media: “If you were to somehow poll the political orientation of everybody in the NPR news organization and all of the member stations, you would find an overwhelmingly progressive, liberal crowd.” I think it’s much more difficult to legitimize. I'm from the metro D.C. area and this makes sense because 47% of our residents have a bachelors degree or above. We asked him on to explain, and we had Ira back, too, to hear what irks Negus the most. Nowadays that just doesn't work as well because different segments of the population have different ideas of where the center really is, of what’s a legitimate political point of view. You favor whichever side at any given moment is looking for a ceasefire. Even evaluating whether the coverage of a candidate is too positive or negative, you have to take into account, well, how is that candidate doing in the polls? After that conversation with Ira, both our shows were flooded with comments. And I thought, okay, let's, let's see what they're saying here. But these are tactics, and when you are always pushing for there shouldn't be violence, you want to freeze the situation in a moment of balance that is disadvantageous to whoever is advocating the violence. They're called Hallin’s Spheres. BROOKE GLADSTONE:  As you just heard, Sam Negus finds much of the programming on public radio excellent. So we started at what we thought was the beginning. The MRC is a research and education organization operating under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and contributions to the MRC are tax-deductible. But do you think the information that you’re getting, by and large, is reliable? I actually asked my staff today to go through that. He said exactly what I wanted him to say. So we are reassured that the new head of NPR, the chief of all U.S. propaganda, is a champion of a free press. National Public Radio replaced the National Educational Radio Network on February 26, 1970, following Congressional passage of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967. There is a total of five hours of talk that comes from the other side of the aisle. He listens in the car. About NPR's Audience. Political Fact-Checking Under Fire Sites like PolitiFact and Factcheck.org are designed to verify political claims and hold politicians accountable. On October 18, NPR legal reporter Nina Totenberg pronounced from her regular panelist perch on the TV show "Inside Washington" that General Jerry Boykin, who sermonized in Christian churches with the shocking, less-than-Unitarian message that Christianity is true and other creeds are false, should be fired. I mean, look no further than the terms themselves, What is bias? One other interesting thing on this question of journalistic bias that can be unconscious: the Philadelphia Inquirer a few years ago did a study because they were being attacked by pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli members of the community. I'm thrilled to think that someone within the organization cares. The connection between music and politics, particularly political expression in song, has been seen in many cultures. Would you do that for us? And these qualities have shaped his political views, which he describes as "fiscally and internationally conservative, not hard right, but conservative." BROOKE GLADSTONE:  Daniel Hallin teaches at the University of California, San Diego. The other thing that we did last year in our biannual Consumption Survey is we asked people why they went to different news outlets. Some listeners complain that she has a conservative bias. You know, and, and I did, I did think it was fair and balanced. I cover technology with an emphasis on social and digital media. He wrote Ira that he values it but he won't support it because of some crucial biases he hears. The NPR data was first updated in 2015 with door-to-door service and digitization of the updated data is complete now in the next step the government has decided to update the NPR now the issue is that many linked NPR to NRC and it is said that any NPR will clear the way for an RC because it is the identifying of every single citizen or rather resident of the country. The existence of these extremist sites does not necessarily mean they are influencing people's political views. Is it really just now and then? And the research came back and said, you do have a bias in your coverage. We never broke out NPR’s coverage as an independent news organization in that study, so we're running those numbers now. Sinton's upset that conservatives apparently dominate "top-rated" talk. There is a, a difference between NPR’s kind of news coverage and, and the editorial stuff. The concern over these Boykin remarks should not be about the separation of church and state. He just wrote a letter and now he’s being dragged into a multi-week project. The resurrection is who I am. It's awfully ironic that a woman who has spent thirty years saying outrageous liberal things on the taxpayer dime is now attacking a general on the grounds that there ought to be some things government officials cannot say and keep their jobs. I understand sometimes I'm reading into questions hostility that isn't there, but sometimes it’s definitely there. And the Jesus Seminar, for anyone who isn't familiar, the short version of what they believe that’s offensive to me as an evangelical Christian is that Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead as a bodily historical fact, but that that’s a kind of spiritual metaphor. Amendment 3: All Voters Vote in Primary Elections for State Legislature, Governor, and Cabinet. (Note: "political compass" is a term popularized by the web site of that same name. The news reports on NPR should be cause for greater public concern. We will also show you what type of foreign policy you support, and how liberal or conservative you rank in the culture war. Science Settles It: NPR's Liberal, But Not Very. How do we determine if it has a liberal bias? It also distributes shows produced elsewhere – On the Media, Diane Rehm, Fresh Air, and so on. Certain views that a generation ago would have been relegated to the sphere of deviance, for example, questioning the birth certificate of the President of the United States, Hallin says have now forced their way onto the doughnut. But he won't support it because of those moments he just described. SAM NEGUS:  They were a couple of journalists and they started the show talking about the labor situation, obviously, Wisconsin and Indiana. DANIEL HALLIN:  When I made my diagram, there was only one set of spheres, let's say, and everybody kind of agreed on what they were. National Public Radio is America's 50-year-old public radio syndicate, a nonprofit media organization producing and distributing news and cultural programming for over 1,000 member stations. I'm not about forcing anyone to believe anything. TOM ROSENSTIEL:  Yes, and hopefully we'll have that very soon. It’s a pro-peace bias. The Pew survey found that the NPR audience tends Democratic (17% Republican, 37% independent, 43% Democratic) and centrist (21% conservative, 39% moderate, 36% liberal). In early 2018 , similar shares of Republicans (77%) and Democrats (74%) said the quality of candidates running for Congress in their district in the last several elections had been good. BROOKE GLADSTONE:  What do you mean it’s more difficult to legitimize? She pressed the Fox host to respond to the obnoxious attacks of Franken and other critics. There was nobody there I felt speaking for the electorate of Wisconsin. BROOKE GLADSTONE:  So when you go through the material you have to see if you can break out NPR’s reporting on particular issues, will you share that with us? I'm gonna be killed, I'll be in the grave and then I will rise again. Also known as: The “Jungle Primary” amendment, although the backers of the amendment say the term has racist connotations. So they had LSU do a study of their coverage of the Middle East. As Washington Post media reporter Howard Kurtz puts it, the media landscape stretches "from those who cheer Fox to those who swear by NPR. The hole in the doughnut is the sphere of consensus, and here are issues and views we can all agree on:  democracy is good, slavery is bad, all men are created equal. That doesn't mean NPR doesn't have hundreds of hours of liberal talk shows, not to mention liberal "news" shows. BROOKE GLADSTONE:  Tom, thank you very much. There are ways to do it but it’s gonna be pretty limited. The word is applied broadly now to big-L Liberal politics and small-l liberal values, even liberal science, to the point where the word “liberal” itself means almost nothing. It was, predictably enough, a quagmire. This article is more than 10 years old. It wasn't a panel. And then there’s a report on new laws to restrict abortion, and that had a very standard sort of tick-tock pro-choice, anti-abortion sides, you know, of, of that thing. During a bruising political season, many Americans are dropping friends and family members who have different political views. I think that that’s a responsible decision. But Hallin created his spheres in the 1980s, before Fox News and MSNBC, the rise of talk radio and the blogosphere. Bias: it’s a moving target. Or somewhere in between? But does it even matter, when most of the bias debate coalesces around federal support, the bulk of which goes to stations? The daily program "Fresh Air with Terry Gross" - a 60-minute talk show about the arts, literature, and also politics - airs on 378 public-radio stations across the fruited plain. So I think that all of the news organizations that try and stick to the old-fashioned patterns of journalistic professionalism, they're all a little bit on the defensive. What I didn't hear was another guest who shared my ideological concerns with the overarching goals of labor unionism. The - m – most of the public radio listening I hear is of the news programs, and so, and so -, IRA GLASS:  - this morning’s Morning Edition, here’s what I heard. The Bush Doctrine, a preference for unilateral military action and a disdain for multinational diplomacy, is under scrutiny more than ever." A Solid Liberal? Reporter Mike Shuster was intent on driving home the theme that the Bush foreign policy may (read: we hope) one day be analyzed as an utter failure. It's just not "top-rated. AllSides has rated the bias of over 600 media outlets, which are fluid and subject to change.We recently conducted a blind bias survey to review the bias of the Associated Press, The Hill, NPR online news, Washington Examiner, and Washington Post.. For this blind bias survey, we gathered Americans from across the political spectrum and asked them to read and rate headlines and articles … BROOKE GLADSTONE:   Possibly, because constantly we get arguments that NPR is bending over backwards the other way, from our mail. It’s also been called a nonpartisan blanket primary, a qualifying primary or a top-two primary. The term political spectrum is widely used in formal and informal speech and writing among journalists, broadcasters, economists, academics, and politicians.. Someone’s position on the political spectrum is discussed in terms of center and far (e.g., a persons who falls far right on the political spectrum describes a person with more extreme conservative views while someone lying … I'm, I'm thrilled to actually have a response. A term limit is a law that limits the amount of time a political representative may hold an elected office. BROOKE GLADSTONE:  So now let's turn the question on NPR. I had the radio on. So, we proceeded to wade into the subject. It’s, it’s everything I am. Well, that's not the way it came out. But, how to judge the service as a whole? It ought to be about the separation of National Public Radio from the state. IRA GLASS:  So, so I understand that you’re saying that there’s this question of tone that you've - that you hear all the time on all the shows, the news shows and the non-news shows, the, the – more the – more the talk shows. A CPB organizing committee under John Witherspoon first created a board of directors chaired by Bernard Mayes. What do we mean when we invoke the term “liberal?” And even defining “NPR” is complicated, I mean, really complicated. ", Last week, NPR's own official ombudsman, Jeffrey Dvorkin, admitted a liberal bias in NPR's talk programming. DANIEL HALLIN:  Well, you could convince people that you were, in fact, being neutral by sticking to a point in the center between Republicans and Democrats and giving them both a hearing in an earlier period. NPR's national political correspondent Mara Liasson is also a contributor to Fox News. News Audiences’ Political Views Since 2010, there has been little change in the ideological views or partisan leanings of news audiences. We've done some studies that look at the tone of coverage at different moments. That’s fine. And what happens when you’re in the minority is bills get passed that you don't like. BROOKE GLADSTONE:  Tom Rosenstiel is the director of the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism. That’s democracy, you know -, IRA GLASS:  - can I ask you, like, like I don't hear many of the talk shows during the day. That, more than anything else, is a testament to Fox's domination on the political right and American conservatives' distrust of other mainstream media outlets. Music can express anti-establishment or protest themes, including anti-war songs, but pro-establishment ideas are also represented, for example, in national anthems, patriotic songs, and political campaigns.Many of these types of songs could be described as topical songs We've done campaign coverage, the last two months of the 2008 campaign. We've actually talked about this a number of times. Here’s where the bulk of journalism takes place – gun control, interest rates, budget matters and abortion, issues on which reasonable people can disagree and where journalists are obliged to present both sides. Outside the doughnut lies the sphere of deviance, limbo, where viewpoints are deemed unworthy of debate. But I mean, heck, you wouldn't have gotten so many emails saying the same thing if I was completely barking up the wrong tree, would you? Almost all discussions of polarization in political science consider polarization in the context of political parties and democratic systems of government. There are currently no term limits for Congressional terms but various states and cities have enacted term limits for their elected officials at the local level. Gross recently became a hot topic on journalism Web sites for first having a friendly, giggly interview with "satirist" Al Franken, promoting his obnoxious screed against conservatives on September 3, and then on October 8, unloading an accusatory, hostile interview on Bill O'Reilly. Are you a Core Conservative? And I'll give you an example of it that my wife and I have kind of joked about a couple of times. Today there’s just a lot less consensus. He quantifies media for a living. That sent a message to me. Terry Gross’ show Fresh Air was on and her guest was a cofounder of the Jesus Seminar. SAM NEGUS:  Christ himself said, you want to know who I am? What's frustrating is that it's clear NPR's top news managers understand Liasson's Fox News affiliation runs afoul of the network's guidelines and have tried to reign her in. BROOKE GLADSTONE:  How do you think mainstream journalists should respond to the fuzziness of the sphere of consensus, the sphere of legitimate debate and the sphere of deviance, that which should not be discussed? TOM ROSENSTIEL:  [LAUGHS] It’s not so easy. I do see that bias less obviously in the news coverage. Political polarization (see American and British English spelling differences) is the divergence of political attitudes to ideological extremes. This act was signed into law by 36th President Lyndon B. Johnson, and established the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which also created the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) for television in addition to NPR. IRA GLASS:  And it just seemed very, very straight to me. ", The only ones who seem not to know that the left has a massive, taxpayer-funded radio network of 700 affiliates are the liberals trying to sell investors on their own private-sector talk-radio network. It’s directly responsible for Morning Edition, All Things Considered, the weekend equivalent of those shows and Talk of the Nation. Because the truth is within scientific communities it’s not. Contrary to what is heard on cable TeeVee and am radio shows, NPR has a diverse audience w/ the caveat being they are generally higher income earners. But NPR itself produces or editorially oversees very little of that content. Dvorkin ruled: "Unfortunately, the [O'Reilly] interview only served to confirm the belief, held by some, in NPR's liberal media bias....by coming across as a pro-Franken partisan rather than a neutral and curious journalist, Gross did almost nothing that might have allowed the interview to develop.". It’s, it’s almost always on to NPR, if we’re in the car. Because to me, when I think of public radio, I feel like - overwhelmingly it is like what I heard this morning on Morning Edition. A review of her work finds otherwise. I'd turned on NPR. SAM NEGUS:  Right, okay. In his 1986 book, The Uncensored War, communications professor Daniel Hallin drew a simple diagram depicting three spheres in journalism. It, it, it’s – you can explain facts, but the way that you state facts or the way that you structure them, sometimes it’s more than others and sometimes it’s because I'm, I'm sensitive. The regular audiences for Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly continue to be dominated by conservatives: About seven-in-ten or more of each of these audiences describe their political views as conservative, compared with 35% of the general public. ©Copyright 2021, Media Research Center | All Rights Reserved. We did coverage of healthcare reform, and we could look and see whether NPR deviated from the norm in its use of different language on healthcare. NPR's own research shows that of its 26.8 million listeners 23 percent self-identify as 'middle of the road'. By submitting your information, you're agreeing to receive communications And finally there are the local shows produced by public radio stations everywhere. But we said we'd try, so we called Tom Rosenstiel, founder and director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism at the Pew Research Center. Those ages 30 to 49 are most likely to name NPR … You know, they had a lead story which was from Japan about what it’s like right now for the people in the most devastated areas. And the tone of her voice told me very clearly that, that she was thrilled by that, which she has every right to be. Today’s Headlines. DANIEL HALLIN:  NPR, like, actually, quite a few of the mainstream news organizations in the U.S., I would say still adheres to the old-style journalism that tries to stick to the center and tell both sides. And what does NPR mean? Withdrawing to damage-control mode, Totenberg said she didn't mean she hoped he would die, just that he shouldn't last long "in his job. And then there’s a story from Bahrain, an, an on-the-ground story about what’s happening there, then a story about Haley Barbour’s run for the presidential nomination and his background and some very convincing things I thought that he said from the stump, and audiences saying what a great impression he made, and a summary of like one early problem in his campaign. NPR, full name National Public Radio, is a privately and publicly funded non-profit membership media organization that serves as a national syndicator to 797 public radio stations in the United States of America. I’m Brooke Gladstone, with the second part of our special hour on liberal bias and public radio. TOM ROSENSTIEL:  [LAUGHS] Yes, and there’s all kinds of academic literature that we've looked at that suggests that that wicket is really very sticky. William Maher (/ m ɑːr /; born January 20, 1956) is an American comedian, The hole in the doughnut is the sphere of consensus, and here are issues and views we can all agree on: democracy is good, slavery is bad, all men are created equal. Then there was a story from here in the U.S. which talked about nuclear power plants in the United States and that surprisingly we're not really building many anymore because natural gas is so much cheaper. The Middle East "road map" was "in tatters," Iraq and Afghanistan were "highly unstable." The only ones who seem not to know that the left has a massive, taxpayer-funded radio network of 700 Multiple millions of Americans wake up to NPR's flagship program Morning Edition and/or listen to All Things Considered on the drive home. National Public Radio's ditching of World of Opera over its host's anti-war activism typifies a feeble, misguided 'non-partisanship' ... not permitted to express political views in public. The mission of the Media Research Center is to create a media culture in America where truth and liberty flourish. So even in what seemed like a benign sort of orientation to their coverage and one that they were unaware of as being biased, academics at least could say, well, there is a bias there that at some times favors one side and sometimes favors another. You know, in many cases I think it’s gonna be the right decision for a journalist to say, we are aware that the science says that there’s not a controversy here, and we are gonna refuse to treat this part of it as though it were controversial. The boundaries might get fuzzy. SAM NEGUS:  The political example that I gave you that stuck out in my mind most recently was from the Friday News Roundup this past Friday. BROOKE GLADSTONE:  This is On the Media. SAM NEGUS:  Okay, so it was Good Friday, I think maybe two years ago. You, you can't hide when you’re happy, right? A candidate that’s winning an election is going to have more positive coverage than a candidate that’s losing an election, and you have to somehow control for that. On the October 17 "Morning Edition," host Bob Edwards launched into a long "news" report on the flaws of the Bush foreign policy, observing: "Overall, the policies of the United States are still very unpopular around the world. So the panelists were talking, and one of the first observations that one of the guests made was that the situation in Wisconsin would probably galvanize the American labor movement. Here, truths are self evident and journalists don't feel the need to be objective. Picture a doughnut. He listens at the breakfast table. National Public Radio is properly understood, even by the media, as radio by and for liberals, not the general public. 5 Independents feel more negatively about political candidates and parties than partisans. Take our quiz to find out which one of our Political Typology groups is your best match compared with a nationally representative survey of more than 5,000 U.S. adults by Pew Research Center.. You may find some of these questions are difficult to answer. Host Gordon Peterson joked, "What is this, The Sopranos?" Maybe the best way to explain it would just be that there are assumptions. A 2014 Pew Research study, "Where News Audiences Fit on the Political Spectrum," found that "the clear majority of [NPR's] audience (67%) is left-of-center, and it is a particularly popular source for consistent liberals, who make up 41% of its audience (compared with 16% of all respondents)." Experts say we should be talking more, not less. So a generation ago, the questions whether Obama can legitimately be president, this would have been rejected both by elites in Washington of both parties and by the media as just absolutely outside the proper bounds of political debate, and it would have been excluded. BROOKE GLADSTONE:  So Hallin’s doughnut has been blasted into crumbs by a confluence of voices. Under the guise of "objective news," reporting, the left is actively advancing its political agenda. ", But it's Totenberg who ought to fear for her job with these outbreaks of hate speech. The point was that a cofounder of the Jesus Seminar was on that show, on a national platform for a solid hour, unopposed. I'm aware of my own biases, too. And that is somewhat troubling, that gap. IRA GLASS:  Sam, another, another thing that you wrote me about was more of a cultural bias, and you wrote about something that you heard on Fresh Air. Sam Negus is a libertarian evangelical Christian who listens to a lot of public radio. Instead of getting into that debate, let’s get into another, more nuanced one. And I think the thing that I said in my email, and maybe this is what stuck out to you, Ira, 99.99%, almost everybody in the world and everybody in the history of the world since the time of Christ to now who would identify themselves as a Christian would be deeply offended and upset by this, by this perspective, and moreover, wouldn't consider this person to be a Christian.
