I know "Christians" who say NPR is the best source for news. I have argued the point and argued the point and they just do not get it.

I think listening to NPR is great. Nothing like listening to the ENEMY!
Keeps me up to date with the real anti-american, Christian hating, race baiting kooks!
Also daily reminders of who not to do business with.

and argued the point and they just do not get it.
My experience:
A younger (and much smarter) relative used to quote NPR as gospel,
even though he was probably what we'd call a slightly squishy centrist
Republican.
I kept telling him for a couple of years that NPR/PBS had some good aspects
(e.g., some episodes of PBS Frontline), but that was just window-dressing to push
some real leftist propaganda.
I think it was the "massacre" at Jenin that was the "tipping point".
He told me about how NPR ("National Palestinian Radio", in my book)
wailed about IDF atrocities...but then I did get him to see ABC's Nightline
and said..."look at all the camera angles" and I said "this 'Stalingrad' probably didn't
happen over more than a square mile or two.
Then the truth slowly started to trickle out. And scales fell from my
relative's eyes.
My bottom-line? It takes time.
And only expend your time on hopeful cases!

I'm an evangelical, fundamentalist, conservative Christian who enjoys NPR and uses it as a information source along with Fox, NBC, National Review Online, and FR (among others). Is it their postion that it is the "best source" that causes you to question their faith?

same here. Don't think that they are able to get it.
