Is This American Life Conservative Propaganda?

Ira Glass of This American Life

Stephen Spruiell of the National Review Online seems to think so.

A few weeks ago, that crew put together another big project, this time a two-parter of This American Life and several subsequent podcasts devoted to the subject of health care. As in “The Giant Pool of Money,” the reporting was clear and even-handed. The team’s correspondents sought out industry professionals, economists, and patients. (They ignored politicians, by and large.) They surveyed the history of the American health-care system and drew some conclusions about why it has so many problems. And, if you’re someone who expects a certain amount of leftishness from NPR, those conclusions might surprise you.

Read the case for his argument in Welcome to the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy and feel free to share your thoughts.

    Wow, I can’t believe the only time the National Review cares This American Life is when it’s saying something they want to hear.
