  • Jill 7/19/07: "Last week I sat in my car hoping and waiting for some balance to the program on the Running of the Bulls. I was just disgusted with the direction of the piece. There was the slightest mention of Peta's stance against this torture of animals and there was also a caller who was offended. However the host brushed off all of this and only spoke of the excitement and great fun. I am really tired of one sided programming on this particular program, Here on Earth. This continues to be the reason that I will never donate to NPR."
