I'm so mad at NPR right now!
Listening on the way home, Andrea Seabrook reported *'s comments from his campaign speech (in Michigan, I think).

He was defending the Iraq invasion and said that now girls in Iraq can go to school.

:wtf:

Does she really not know that they could do that BEFORE the invasion?

Or is she just not saying it to make * look like less of a moran?

Either way I'm FUMING!

:nuke:

2. NPR started selling out awhile ago...
Sadly, this doesn't shock me much. They used to be a primary news source for me but no more.

3. The moron has no idea that it was actually Afghanistan.
She can't even call the president on a factual error you could drive a truck through.

4. Iraq had a hella better social programs than US...
before the shit hit the fan.

I think 'that' is the enemy (combined with juicy oil) that the US mafia WH and corps detest so much..... social programs = COMMIES!
same with Nicaragua.

5. You should have seen the Today Show this morning
They were whoring for BUsh full steam ahead, and trashing Kerry as "weak on defense."

At least that was the insinuation.

The corporate media is trying to save their puppet now that he's sinking.


That's why they haven't reported the child abuse stories from the foreign press.

6. I expect it from them
And I know I should from NPR, but it still gets to me.

Did you know factcheck.org is an RNC site? I thought I read Gillespie admitted as much recently.

7. How the mighty have fallen. Once great NPR - progressive,
insightful and brilliant - now reduced to "errand boys" for our pathetic "leaders".

9. I stopped sponsoring them this year. And it is too bad, because I
like some of their programming... but when they sell out like this, they lose my respect.
And I donated to PBS, especifically requesting that it went to Bill Moyers (I HAVE A MUG...will it be worth something now that his program will not be his-after his retirement?)
