I am big fan NPR radio for multiple reasons, mainly its news is international, as apposed to all other news here in the States which is extremely city/neighborhood/state and nation focused. Further, they have a few good programs, such as Marketplace which this week is covering the Middle East this week.

I’m a big fan of NPR too and I listened to all Dubai reports. I was so disappointed that Kai Ryssdal never mentioned “Persian Gulf” in his reports, using just politically innocuous term “Gulf” says a lot about how things are manipulated from top down. I guess these days you can buy everyone with the oil money even liberal and balanced NPR.

I withdraw my first comment. I think I missed that important part. I checked on MP’s website and Kai says it loud and clear “Persian Gulf”. now we can think all positive about NPR again.
