NPR did not "cover" her story until 2004 (the year after she blew the whistle) and even then, it was in the context of her being brought up on charges for releasing secret information in a commentary by Daniel Ellsberg.
NPR has "failed to report on" so many important stories over the past decade that it is quite clear that there is more involved than simple negligence.
Back in the old days (say, pre-1998) NPR had some very good investigative reporters. It's hard to believe they all disappeared over night.
More likely that the management policy regarding what CAN and CANNOT be covered changed.
What NPR leaves out is far more damning than anything they report on, IMHO.
My name is Matthew Murrey and I'm from Florida, but have been living in the Midwest since 1984. I started this blog because no one else was blogging NPR's drift toward the right - and it made more sense than yelling at the radio.

I make every effort not to interfere with comments - BUT I will generally delete violent, gratuitously vulgar, or obscene posts. I realize it can be a subjective judgment call. Even when you're really angry, try to play nice.

There is obviously no shortage of material when it comes to NPR misreporting.
But NPR "non-reporting" is a veritable gold mine.
For example, how about the Katherine Gun issue?

Ken Rudin is such a goddamn tool.
