I was dismayed and disgusted by NPR's cozy remembrance of yellow-faced racism peddler David Carradine. Maybe it's too early to speak ill of the dead? I don't think so, and anyway, I don't think NPR is ever very interested in dispelling the complacent haze of nostalgia. I think this article on another blog, "David Carradine's Legacy of Shame," written by an Asian American, is a good corrective.
NPR policy (MSM policy too) 'TERRORIST' or 'TERRORIST ORGANIZATION' shall ALWAYS accompany the words Hizbollah and or Hamas. Even if they are DEMOCRATICALLY elected organizations.
Hey, congrats! Y'all got a super-sized shout-out from Glenzilla, the Thomas Paine of our times. As far as I know, this is the second attribution. Keep shaking up the cupboards!
Larry, dfh - Being a little slow on the uptake, it took me a while to realize that by "Glenzilla" you mean Glenn Greenwald. Sure enough, a generous nod from the monster himself!
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.
