New analyst Cokie Roberts notoriously expresses bias. She wrote a May 2007 column saying, "Democratic leaders cannot afford to listen to the labor movement as the country approaches a major debate over trade policy."

She co-authored a December 2010 article on attacking "liberals in fantasyland."

New president Knell wants to "calm the waters (and) depoliticize" debate over Republican desires to cut public broadcasting's funding. 

Perhaps he believes throwing Simeone overboard may help placate critics. Others think these incidents highlight NPR's longtime elitist bias.

She responded, saying:

"I find it puzzling that NPR objects to my exercising my rights as an American citizen - the right to free speech, the right to peaceable assembly - on my own time in my own life."
 

NPR only respects free assembly and speech when they address the right things. 

In other words, the usual imperial and monied interests featured regularly on its broadcasts.
