NPR's Political Talking Head Scorecheet

NPR has taken inventory.

Their ombudsman has tallied up all the talking heads from Washington think-tanks to see if the radio network was listening to too many liberal viewpoints. Here's the ombudsman's score:

American Heritage - 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

Brookings and CSIS are seen as centrist to center-left. The rest are pretty much either left or right-leaning.

Final score:

Right: 239
Left: 141
