I haven't listened to KPFK either, for the same reason. I think being overly biased in one direction (regardless of the direction) can definitely be dangerous. And you're right about there being more balance in NPR, which is why I listen to it- althoug I have heard some rather disturbing stuff on either KCRW or KPCC. I mentioned my mom earlier, because while I wouldn't say she's the most liberal person (I think Kennedy still has her beat), it is amusing to hear her complain that NPR is too conservative.

Speaking of public radio, I know they don't do much as far as news is concerned, but I do give money to KKJZ too (because Chuck Niles was awesome, and they do have great programs available across the nation). There's KUSC, but I don't give to them, because it's sort of like the top 40 of classical. I love that this town has quite a few NPR stations to choose from (that wasn't the case where I came from), and even if mamacita doesn't, I'll still support public radio, because it's much better than Clear Channel and Faux News.
