I don't really take my comment to be that political. More about corporate control of the power structures. Is there something incorrect about my comment? Shouldn't root cause be discussed when talking about shortcomings? I do believe their emotional story telling is an intentional weakening to avoid hard hitting true journalism that challenges power structures.

Edit: ironic that the original comment was about NPR being too emotional and yet a discussion about factual details is emotionally down voted as "political".
