NPR still up to their tricks
On today's All Things Considered, we get to hear their "journalist" Mara Liason say that one of John Kerry's "negatives" is that "he's a liberal." While that may be true with fox viewers, her context made it sound like it was a "generally accepted fact" among the population at large.

Tsk! Tsk!

NPR = National Propaganda Radio

3. The NPR phenonema
Neutral pubic radio jounalists morph into right wing propagandists. Cokie and Mara, Mara and Cokie. And now I've also become one of the Neal Cohen enemies. He is blatant at times.

5. They know which side of their bread is buttered, of course
With a republican house, senate, and executive, NPR is pulling out the stops to keep its chunk of federal underwriting safe from the budget knife.
