Well the whole point is that they are only showing one side of the picture. I think that Rush has a right to speak, but they should also let someone on the other side speak as well. The argument that NPR is as far right as Rush is far left is crazy. If left to right is an integer from -10 to +10, Rush is a +10 and NPR is closer to a -1. That leaves the overall message skewed heavily towards the right.

If tax money is going to support the stations, then those stations should try to be as fair as possible - not completely in the middle, but also not tilting heavily towards another side.
