I heard Thom Hartmann on Air America this morning really taking apart NPR & specifically Jaun Williams this morning. He really dug in & showed what a right wing wank fest NPR is. It was good radio.
That's good to know. For too long NPR has coasted on a pretty trouble-free plane as far as concise criticism is concerned, which has been perfect for certain subversive interests to gain control of it and work out their strategies.
It's nice to know that we aren't the only ones yowling in the wilderness.
I loved this: "This NPR piece is identified as being "Planet Money." That may be appropriate because most listeners probably would not think it belongs on Planet Earth. -- Dean Baker"
If I am not mistaken, "Planet Money" is the Milky Way galaxy's garbage dump planet.
They will take (and air) anything -- as long as it does not offend Mara Liasson's Foxy sensibilities, of course.
Planet Money and NPR were all telling us the "sky was falling" back when Paulson was trying to shove the first bank bailout down our throats.
They were like Henry Paulson's personal cheerleading squad.
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.
"Q Tips" is an open thread post where you can place general comments or brief notes about NPR.

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.

Dean Baker also takes NPR out behind the woodshed (h/t to FAIR)

I have been calling it "Planet Monkey" since it began.

NPR's upbidsman is a pathetic, incompetent, NPRpropaganda-apologist joke.
Worse than Dvorkin (though there was a time when I would not have imagined that possible)
