I'll concur. Some of the talk-radio stuff is definately left of center, but Morning Edition and ATC are pretty balanced. I hear lots of view points from both sides and they ask some uncomfortable questions to both sides. Talk of the Nation is alright as far as the talk radio goes.
Minnesota Public Radio also has a BBC World feed at night and they have "The World" from BBC at 7:00 pm. They also have a Canadian show (As It Happens?) that has really good interviews and the hosts ask some pretty tough questions. They don't let people wiggle around the answers.
I'm a big fan of Minnesota Public Radio.
