NPR tackles Tancredo::By Brent Bozell III (http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=npr_tackles_tancredo&ns=BrentBozellIII&dt=04/05/2007&page=full&comments=true)
Tom Tancredo has become well known as the country's most energetic congressman against illegal immigration. He's now running for president on that issue. National Public Radio also has a deeply ingrained reputation -- as a taxpayer-subsidized network of gooey liberals. They speak in tones so sleep-inducing that their programs should be regarded as a potential traffic hazard.
On April 1, these two legends met, and sparks flew. The program was Sunday's "All Things Considered" broadcast, hosted by Debbie Elliott. The trouble began at hello: Elliott introduced Tancredo as a man who "gained national prominence with his fierce opposition to allowing illegal immigrants to become citizens."
"Fierce" seems to be an adjective NPR reserves for conservatives. (Liberals are "passionate.")
