The NPR ombudsman:

Tallying the Think Tanks

NPR often calls on think tanks for comments. But NPR does not lean on the so-called conservative think tanks as many in the audience seem to think.

Here's the tally sheet for the number of times think tank experts were interviewed to date on NPR in 2005:

American Enterprise - 59

Brookings Institute - 102

Cato Institute - 29

Center for Strategic and Intl. Studies - 39

Heritage Foundation - 20

Hoover Institute - 69

Lexington Institute - 9

Manhattan Institute - 53

Eric Alterman does the addition for us:

The score to date: Right 239, Left 141.

Oops.

And NPR is considered the liberal of the liberal.
