Liberal NPR

Posted by: Hammer / 9:10 AM

Too bad the liberals over at NPR weren't able to find any non-Republicans to comment on the compromise:

National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, who was involved in the discussions, said the new deal is a "framework for compromise."

After the meeting, Sen. McCain said he got what he wanted.

President Bush, raising money for Republican congressional candidates in Florida on Thursday, also expressed support for the deal.

House Armed Services Committee chairman Duncan Hunter, whose panel overwhelmingly approved the president's original more hard-line approach, said he still had some reservations about the Senate agreement.

I guess that's a balanced story -- you've got Republicans who think this is a great compromise and Republicans who have some reservations about the compromise.

You just explained this. I'm sure NPR would have reported it, if only the Democrats would stand up and say something.

Or is that what you're saying? I read it as a snark on NPR and those who whine about NPR being liberal.

A little of both, Joseph. I think there's a lack of leadership in Washington on this issue among Democrats. Harry Reid is the leader on the issue, but only by default. Who is the big anti-torture Dem in Washington? Sad to say, I can't think of one. That doesn't excuse the allegedly liberal NPR from failing to get any other voices into the story. If the Dems don't have anyone willing to talk, the ACLU surely does.
