Klein had his usual contradictory rhetoric and subtle Dem slurrs, York was actually asked about the 'liberal media' by the host, which allowed him to rant about the oh-so influential 'Air America Radio' and George Soros--what a douchebag- and the Fact-check guy is going on right now about the Dem attack ads. The other day, Debbie Elliot was all over the 'tightening Repub surge'. TRepeatedly. I noticed in MA a few weeks ago that WBUR was constantly harping about Deval Patrick, I mean every 15 mins was something about 'Did you hear about Deval Patrick?'. I think they were push-polling, because they kept talking about Patrick and some rapist, and kept referring to polls showing the race tightening. IMO, there is a big push on at NPR to affect the election toward the Repubs. Someone mentioned on NPR last week about a big shake-up in the organisation, but i haven't heard anything since. And WHYY didn't meet its fundraising goal this time, so mayabe the public is gettting wise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-1162824525587069072006-11-06T08:48:00.000-06:002006-11-06T08:48:00.000-06:00God, they really milked Kerry's comment for all it...God, they really milked Kerry's comment for all it was worth!

Even on his (fewer and fewer) lucid days he can't seem to arrive at a conclusion. He just drizzles on and on and then signs off. On his worst days he can't even get the premise out accurately, as in this morning's piece. It seems NPR has a strict policy of commentator tenure--if they've been around a long time they can't be dropped no matter how bad/lazy they get. Sort of like baseball managers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
