Reply #3: I think we might be succumbing to confirmation bias there [View All]

I know it seems to me like all I ever hear on Morning Edition these days are AEI or Heritage flacks.

If Alicia Shepard's analysis is sound though, NPR goes to centrist Brookings far more often than they go to AEI, Cato and Heritage combined. Like I said, I think the bias is more one of not venturing outside the beltway than of left and right. Or maybe it's whoever is easiest for NPR to get into the Morning Edition or All Things Considered studio on short notice?
