Still have yet to hear on NPRabout the proposed retroactive amnesty for the Telecorleones. Yet on the internet we can read that Obama has promised to filibuster retroactive immunity, and that this is putting Clinton in a very uncomfortable position. For anyone following, this is a mojor story, where true grass-roots effort has turned the business-as-usual Senate into a.....deliberative body! Have also heard a bare minimum on the Mukasey nomination.
Mine, too. Yet, there were no statements like: 'because we didn't meet our pledge goal, we won't be able to (whatever)...' As near as I can tell, listener pledges are just gravy, no matter what they say.
According to this comment on Booman Tribune, Ann Garrels is reporting confessions obtained by torture as "news" on NPR this morning. Thankfully I came to work early, so I didn't listen to ME and consequently didn't have to endure her story.
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.

In the first time that I can ever recall, my local station (KUT) did not make it's pledge goal.
Too bad, so sad. Now, stop shilling for chimp and his illegal wars!
