NPR Ombudsman needs to be contacted

Yesterday afternoon in a piece about gas prices they repeated the GOP lie about Kerry voting to raise gas prices by a gazillion dollars. Here's some info:

President George Bush rules out tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to help ease rising gas prices. Bush voiced concern over the price hike, but said he won't "play politics" with the reserve, noting its role as an emergency resource. NPR's Don Gonyea reports.

It doesn't mention Kerry in the audio. Am I missing something?

3. Another gripe - yesterday, when reporting on Giuliani's testimony,

NPR made no mention of the protestors who essentially shut down the proceedings and caused a nationwide news blackout (CNN & other major networks quickly cut away). I guess it didn't happen.

4. Get on board and realize..

... that NPR is just the latest and trendiest media outlet for Bush* propaganda.

How clever of them, now a network that is still widely believed to be "left", is actually "right".

If you are still sending them money, why don't you write a check to FOX also.
