Maybe you didn't notice, but when they roll contributors, the Koch Bros are supporters, so too a few other right positioned trusts

I agree that NPR may have a 'slight' degree of liberal bias, but still attempts to report both sides of an issue and cover the whole story both negatives & positives focusing on the end result. As an independant I look to many news sources before making a decision on what's true or false news reporting. Informed is better than following party line rhetoric and believing headline news without some fact check. I lost the trust factor years ago.
Nobody said their wasn't political scandal involved with the Solyndra loan default or political favor in all of the loans whether failed or successful. The fact (?) remains that the the DOE Loan program overall is reported by several sources to be in the black and has cost the taxpayers zip. Most politically demonizing biased news sources focus on the failure and flip the political finger. Their blinded followers think the government lost and/or wasted tax payer money and that is not the case. IMO
The DOE loan program apparently was never intended to turn a profit, but did. GO DOE! Cheers to the successful companies that took advantage of it. I hope Elio gets approved for the ATVM balance portion of the fund. Politics is and will be involved in that approval process. I am hoping it's biased towards Elio Motors and the average families needing affordable transportation win. My personal need is fortunately based on fun and not economics.

Triple like!
Thank you. Even funnier now that I find out the Koch Bros are financial contributors..... slight, that's really a good one
I may have to go more easy on FOX news, they actually love the Elio! And NPR has never mentioned the Elio at all.

What's your news source on the Elio love story?
Well, they have done a series of spots without any negatives to say about it. So, I feel that's a bit of love.

Come on, it gets some of its funding from taxes from the federal gov't, Republican or Democrat. Most of it comes from the public, that's why it's called National PUBLIC Radio. Sure some supporters are extreme in their leftiness but that's hardly true of them all. It's as reliable as many sources and quite possibly more so than most, it's not beholden to anyone but it's listeners. If you listen often enough, NPR is called out by the listeners if they slip up or present inaccuracies. Nope, they are a good source, a group of journalists doing their best to present a fair view of local, national and world events and possible whys and wherefores of what just happened.
