Obviously Public Radio & Public Televison are ...
An author lies and the Obviously Left/Democrat-Biased Media are blamed?
okay
No, the question is are they a trustworthy news source, or not? Apparently not.
Why on earth would anyone believe anything that comes from a writer who embellishes and lies? Are we just supposed to accept that he knows best and be happy with what he tells us, regardless ofwhether it's true or not?
Yup. And he's forever tarnished CBS' reputation as a news outlet. Now it's perceived as nothing but a DNC propaganda outlet.No, the question is are they a trustworthy news source, or not? Apparently not.

Like him or not Dar Rather's long career will be forever linked
with his hatred for GW Bush and his trying to destroy him weeks before
a national election.
Pretty sad.
Now he's pretty much just a nothing in journalism...

When will FOX fire all their liars?
Maybe federal dollars/tax payer dollars should be
taken from public radio and sent to the universities
so the girls can have all that sex.....
Just a thought....
Obviously Public Radio & Public Televison are Left/Democrat-Biased, so why do they continue receiving Tax Dollar-funding?
Radio shows Foxconn story retracted due to fabrications by author
Recent media scrutiny of the working conditions of Apples overseas factories pushed the company to recently open factory doors for inspection. Details of one report from one of Apples most ardent critics, however, have been found to be a lie.
In January, a monologue aired by the radio show This American Life told accounts of hazardous working conditions for Chinese workers at Apples Foxconn factories. Last week, Marketplaces China Correspondent Rob Schmitz and This American Life host Ira Glass confronted the monologues author Mike Daisey on air. Daisey, who is also an actor, admitted that he had fabricated portions of the account where he had met workers who had been poisoned by a toxic chemical while working in the factory. Daisey said he had wanted to capture the totality of his trip to China.
Schmitz tracked down the woman who worked as Daiseys Chinese translator, who told him that portions of Daiseys story were false. Glass subsequently issued a retraction Friday for This American Life, and said that Daisey had lied to him during the fact-checking that took place prior to airing the story.
The original story in January is This American Lifes most popular story to date, the show said in a press release about the incident. The story has been downloaded 888,000 times and streamed 206,000 as of Friday. This American Life has now killed the show after concluding that it cannot vouch for the truth of Mike Daiseys monologue about Apple in China.
Glass said they are horrified to have let something like this onto public radio, and that This American Life is devoting the entirety of this weeks program to detailing the numerous errors in Daiseys fiction.
Daisey is, however, hardly apologetic.
I stand by my work, Daisey said Friday in a statement on his website about the piece. He said the piece featured on This American Life was an adaptation of his longer critically acclaimed monologue, The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, which first debuted in 2010. His intentions were to bring awareness to the conditions under which American consumer electronics are made.
Daiseys confession comes after he had been featured on national television and had conducted numerous interviews discussing his account. Daisey, who is not a journalist and confesses as much, admitted to having taken a few shortcuts his motivation: his passion to be heard.

What are you whining about? You have plenty of media outlets that lean left. You don't need all of them to lean left.Attacks on NPR and PBS are an on going effort by conservatives to dumb down Americans.
Typical leftist regime. Can't even escape the government by suicide.Working conditions in China are fantastic. They even put up nets to catch workers who might fall down on the jobs.
Pretty fucking thoughtful if you ask me. They don't do that here.
Fox hires people to lie and paid the big bucks in court to do so.
Maybe they should have their broadcasting rights removed.
The liar was fired by the station.
If fox fired their liars they would have no one left to broadcast.

What am I saying? Of COURSE you need all media outlets to lean left. Can't have anyone exposed to dangerous, unapproved conservative ideas.

I'm not whining; I stated a fact.
You use the word left without defining what you mean. I'm not speaking of a dictionary definition, what do you mean by "leaning left"?
As for wanting all media to lean left I can assure you no matter what benefits a left leaning commentator might bring to the left, the remarks of Rush Limbaugh create greater ones.
