From what I've read, NYT has changed places. WaPo too.

My wife is listening to it most of the day. On a five-lane highway, they sound like there's three more lanes to the left of it. Or it's just our criteria on "what's left".

Or maybe we've just seen a broader spectrum? On my scale of -1 to 1 (-1 being extreme left and 1 being Pinochet), NPR may be around 0.51 - but the American political landscape may cover all of between(range, 0.49, 0.98).
