I'm just so incredibly disappointed with NPR's series on income inequality.
They've really made a hash of it.
Today's piece was on income disparities between NBA and non-NBA players. Jesus. Way to take a vital and pressing issue and marginalize it, guys. And the other pieces in this series have been equally poor.
If they would've done a piece covering the incomes of NPR newsreaders compared with average US wages and assess how this might affect NPR news analysis, it would've been far more relevant to its listeners.

Ouch! That puts the tail right smack dab on the donkey.
My name is Matthew Murrey and I'm from Florida, but have been living in the Midwest since 1984. I started this blog because no one else was blogging NPR's drift toward the right - and it made more sense than yelling at the radio.

I make every effort not to interfere with comments - BUT I will generally delete violent, gratuitously vulgar, or obscene posts. I realize it can be a subjective judgment call. Even when you're really angry, try to play nice.
