Just caught the hot political stories at the start of National Pentagon Radio's "All Things Considered." Romney. Huckabee. Obama. Clinton. That's all.

1. I thought it was "National Petroleum Radio"? |
|
Oh well, your version works too.
And that does suck.

4. That's part of the trouble with promoting a populist message. |

NPR is about as far distant from populism than you could go. Nobody employed by that thing has ever actually worked at a real job a single day in their lives. They are sons & daughters of weathy & otherwise connected business & political figures across the board.

6. I cringe sometimes listening to NPR |
|
sometimes their stuff is thoughtful, useful and well presented. Other times(especially about "terrorism") you couldn't get more pure propaganda if you went to the WH for a press conference with Condi speaking.

7. I got pissed off at the Moyers show a week or so ago |
|
I've blissfully forgotten who the guest was, but he was unloading a pile of total tommyrot and Moyers was letting him get away with it completely.
It was either put my foot through the screen or find a movie. I did the latter.
I guess even good guys like Moyers have off days.
