Profiles
- Mytwords
- 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.

A REMINDER FROM NPR'S OMBUDSMAN
"I've said it before, and I will reiterate it. NPR is a mainstream news outlet."
Regarding Q TIPS
"Q Tips" is an open thread post where you can place general comments or brief notes about NPR.
Comment Guidelines
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.

Keep up the good work. NPR is well on its way to becoming a megaphone for right-wing, corporate politics. Listeners are starting to notice. Before long, the whole of it will be as unbearable as Cokie Roberts and Juan Williams.
No donations from me any more.
