Spying? No worries, according to NPR Presstitutes

In their midday coverage show today NPR first presented an intertview with Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, a Republican who assured us that concerns about this are silly.

Then, for "balance and analysis" they had Faux Liberal Juan Williams, who said this is likely to be a political winner for Bush, because most peopel see no problem with this in the wr on terror.

Nary a peep from anyone remotely concerned.

Thanks NPR.

over backwards for the right when he first became speaker.

... even though they're hardly as accurate as a stenographer - as any comparison of what Junior says to how he's quoted will attest.

I hate that show, and I'm a major NPR listener. Day2Day Sucks.

I think they created that show in 2004 to shut up the "NPR is Left-wing biased" crowd.

That shows not worth my time.

Do you ever listen to "News & Notes with Ed Gordon"?

It's not as widely heard across the country, but I listen to it to try to stay in touch with the issues the African-American community are talking about. It replaced the Tavis Smiley Show, after he got his T.V. show.

Some times the commentators get a little too wrapped up in blaming every problem on Racism, but usually it's good.

I don't usually listen to it. If that's an example of their "journalism" I'm glad I missed it.

I used to wake up to music, but then, if I caught a bad song, it would stay in my head all day, so I switched to NPR Morning Edition. And now that has become worse than any bad song. Nina Totenberg still gives some halfway decent political analysis, but even Daniel Shorr tiptoes around saying anything negative about the administration. The regular commentators: Cokie Roberts, Juan Williams, Ruben Navarrette, et al, all suck. That they would even give a nutcase like David Brooks a voice is an outrage. Mara Liasson, Andrea Seabrook and Don Gonyea have a BLATANT pro-Bush bias, even with his poll numbers at 29%! Why NPR shows no signs of "distancing" themselves from * when all the other conservatards seem to be jumping ship is a mystery to me. And Renee Montagne and Steve Inskeep are shallow, vapid yuppies. They titter and gossip like the newsmodels on Entertainment Tonight. The lines between news and opinion on NPR are long, long gone. And then they have their "fluff" features, like "This I Believe"...

Telling us about the "charm offensive" that Bush was going to use to win people over.

This was during Campaign 2000.

NPR = "New Presstitutes for Republicans"
