A veteran reporter at National Public Radio went public this week, revealing that the place is staffed entirely by registered Democrats. I bet he got so frustrated with what he saw.

URI BERLINER: I got so frustrated with what I saw was the lack of different perspectives in our coverage. What I found was 87 registered Democrats on our editorial staff, zero Republicans. Something’s gone wrong here. You know, if we’re really thinking about diversity in our coverage… The response was… it wasn’t like, “Wow.” It wasn’t like, “We’re going to change this or try and address this.” It was just more like, “Wow, that’s weird.”

Hmm. It is weird. There are 87 Democrats at NPR to zero Republicans, which sounds like NPR’s entire audience. But 87–0; talk about lopsided. That’s like the time I played ping-pong against Stephen Hawking.
