New blogger Gregg Easterbrook decries the national media's failure (tnr.com) to mention the Christian motive for Republican Alabama Gov. Bob Riley's big tax-hike proposal.
National Public Radio (npr.org) is mentioning the Christian motive, in what I judge an evenhanded manner. Heard it this morning on Morning Edition (npr.org) during my rain-soaked drive to work.
I'm deciding more and more NPR is the place to go for evenhanded news coverage, if you set aside Daniel Schorr's commentaries -- which are so reflexively, dogmatically and close-mindedly anti-right they're humorous. (That's not to take anything away from his reporting experience, which is voluminous, his firsthand knowledge of history, which is staggering, or his speaking talent -- which makes him a joy to hear. He's just wrong on the issues.)
