I listen to KQED on a regular basis. It's a lot of things, but politically neutral can't be reasonably claimed to be among them. Not unless you think sitting square between 70s-type radicals and mainstream centerism is a form of neutrality. I generally agree with their politics, but I find the constant slant somewhat annoying.
To put it another way: it's very possible to interpret fairness and impartiality in creative ways. And some NPR member stations make a habit of this.
