Anyone who really understands what NPR is all about.

I know how "progressive" NPR is. The only reason I can figure as to why they were willing to publish this report is that this report does not challenge the whole idea of "climate change". It only challenges this particular way to combat it.

Then again, it's possible they reported it because it's simply, you know, true.

People (of all political leanings) interested in being well-informed should listen to NPR.
No one goes more in-depth than they do, but it takes a certain amount of active listening effort to appreciate it.

You might be confusing "progressive" with "intellectual"?

NPR, along with NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN & MSNBC frequently ignore news items that appear to defy "Progressive" templates.

I'm not really sure what that means. I don't think I have heard of any news story of any real import that was ignored by all of those networks.

Then again, the only one you didn't list is Fox News, and I don't watch that channel.
Could ALL of those networks really be skipping stories? And if so, who ISN'T skipping them?
(Maybe that's why Stephen Colbert has been quoted as saying "Reality has a well-known liberal bias.")

Can you give me an example, or maybe just talk some more about what you mean? I'm not sure I understand.
