More Spin from NPR on Blue Dog Democrats

Sun Nov 12, 2006 at 07:49:28 AM PDT

Again this morning, NPR is pushing conservative spin on the election results.  They've been telling us ever since the election that the takeover in the House was led by "Blue Dog" - that is, conservative - Democrats.  This in spite of the fact that the most prominent Blue Dog candidate, Harold Ford, lost while many of the people who won are progressives.
Not only that, but they're now calling Blue Dogs "centrists".

I know that NPR feels pressured by the White House cronies who run the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.  But don't they have enough integrity to resist such political influence?
