That is exactly what NPR needs to get away from. TV is not a forum for analysis. TV is pictures, gut reactions, and emotions not analysis.

One of the most irritating things NPR has done is to put washed up lefty reporters on Weekend Edition as radio analysts. Wouldn't it be possible to let the consumer analyze the news instead of hitting people over the head with spin?

Maybe there isn't a market for news, but NPR could try.
