NPR vs. Fox News
NPR doesn't want its reporters appearing on Fox News. Is that fair and balanced?

Concerned that Fox News is becoming increasingly partisan, executives at National Public Radio have asked one of their top reporters to stop appearing on the network as a guest contributor. According to Politico, NPR management asked national correspondent Mara Liasson to watch Fox News for 30 days and then "reconsider" her affiliation with the right-leaning cable news channel. Liasson elected to stick with Fox, noting that she appears only on the network's news programs and never on opinion shows with controversial hosts, such as Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Should NPR discourage its journalists from appearing on America's most popular cable news network? (Watch Mara Liasson participate in a Fox News roundtable discussion)
