In its top of the news brief for Morning Edition NPR told listeners that New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg, who President Obama is considering for Commerce Secretary, "supports responsible federal spending."

It might be helpful if NPR told listeners who those senators are, which spending is irresponsible, and how it has made this determination.
