I have to only agree to a degree with Mr. Frank Sesno, head of the School of Media and Public Affairs at The George Washington University.
He gives kudos to NPR for getting out and talking to diverse view points outside the beltway, outside urban areas, into the “fly over states.”
Yes, NPR has done that (I listen to a lot of NPR).
But they also seem to go out of their way to find the least educated, least informed person to interview.
Occasionally they do find someone who is well informed. Usually a non-college educated, but well informed, well connected (to their community) farmer.
