The lengthy election campaign is over, and the lengthy election night is over. But the lengthy post-election campaign continues. There is a sense that in-depth reporting is done at the expense of showing the other side.
Listeners are impatient to hear their point of view.
They don't hesitate to let NPR know when they think we are spending too much time on one side. I hope that in the future, you will focus on your core competency, and leave the fluff to other networks. If NPR had made a stronger attempt earlier in this campaign process to profile alternative candidates and to more critically examine our current election process, I feel that listeners would have been better served. But listeners were less pleased with one aspect of NPR's election night program. It was a logistical and technical tour de force with continuous programming from 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday through noon ET Wednesday, including live reports from all across the United States.
