You said "Just the latest NPR infringement on free speech, absolutely ludicrous." A logical deconstruction of this sentence infers that a) NPR infringes on Free Speech; and b) They have done it before, perhaps multiple times.

I'm a very regular NPR listener and find them to be one of the most even-handed news sources out there. They also have strict standards for their news staff (such as not participating in rallies) in order to maintain that even-handedness and avoid the appearance of partisanship (unlike their colleagues at Fox, who appear to have free reign to create their own news)

So I ask you again, if NPR is such a repeat offender with infringing on free speech, please give us at least one example and back up your original statement.
