These science-themed reports by Robert Krulwich are really bad... pretty childish, intellectually empty, and un-enlightening. Maybe they should add some fart sounds.
I just have to vent about the ongoing McCain campaigning on NPR. Two features in one day on the dreaded "TOTN" touting 1) the virtues of "divided government" (yeah, gridlock is great!), and how it's therefore a swell idea to vote for McCain, and 2) the wonderful maverickiness of McCain and his swell "spread the wealth" smears, so vote for McCain. NPR must have a lot invested in a Republican victory.
This morning there was a piece on the difficulties of a daughter (whose mom, earning a "6 figure" income who had lost her job) who could not count on the NYU or Columbia education she had planned on.
And just before that, there was a hard-luck story of a family who was paying... $4,300 a month in morgage fees.
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.

Who is NPR appealing to? Who is their audience?
