Despite its probably genuine attempts at being impartial, NPR often seems to manage to lean Left in its programming. Conservative grumbles about it are common. But what happens when NPR says something that appears to be biased towards the GOP -- and the Leftist blogs pick that up? The NPR ombudsman reports:
"The blogs encouraged people to complain to NPR, and hundreds did, many with a surprising level of rancor and vituperation, which was shockingly intense, even in these times of "take-no-prisoners-and shoot-the-wounded" political debate....
The role of the blogosphere in this matter seems worth exploring because while it encourages people to express strong feelings, the level of pure acrimony in this case, seemed to me to rise to the level of hate speech".

The Da Vinci Code in Perspective
Chris Weinkopf writes:
"that if Hollywood had made a movie about all of Islam being a sham, with a murderous sect that kills all those who try to reveal the true secret, the media would have denounced the movie as hate speech, sure to inflame the terrorists and defame a major world religion."

Catholics are of course divided over whether the undoubtedly misleading "Da Vinci Code" film should be shown and what the church should do about it.
