Saturday

I'm a long-time supporter of NPR. Leila Fadel talked with IAGS on Morning Edition last week.

Not good. It harms NPRs reputation, because the resolution is of less validity than an online poll.

Fadel needs to retract. There's no way anyone in the legitimate media doing due diligence with regard to the facts would have done anything with this IAGS resolution except ignore it.
