The former a bald faced liar and uber partisian , the latter an idealist and partisian. I side with Soros most of the time and appreciate his insisight as I appreciate Rove's intellegence,albeit misguided. Where else do you find a network that would expose both to the respectful scrutiny of The National Press Club and broadcast them both?

All I hear during the breaks is spots for multination companies: ADM, Monsanto, BP, Ford, ect. I listen to NPR when I can't listen to Am Progressive radio. I only listen to NPR to pick up on the incidious nature of propaganda. If you just listen to the adjectives they use to discribe Demos vs. Repubs, it's obvious who they support. I have to scratch my head when some of my progressive friends claim that NPR still represents the public interest? It's like saying the WSJ op/ed is balanced. NPR and Fox News are one in the same, that's why NPR shares it's commentators with Fox News programs. Fox news is going down, I can feel it. They are rotting from the inside. It's time for NPR to follow. I hope some documentary film makers will do something to expose all NPR's pro corporate relationships.

Sweet Jesus, this president, if nothing else, has ruthlessly pursued a program of exploiting every conceivable opportunity to split, to polarize, to expand and to metastasize the political, social, and economic divisions of this country. Further, and perhaps worse than what he has done to this point, it seems to me that he has carefully and deliberately laid the groundwork to insure that these divisions wrack the nation well into its future, for many,many years after his eventual return to brush-clearing duties in Crawford. And don't even get me started on how his program has polarized the rest of the world. NPR, get a clue: the uniter train left the station sometime in the first few months of 2001, and George Bush was gaily waving to it from the platform. Can Bush Now Fulfill His 'Uniter' Pledge? When he was on death row did you ask: Can John Wayne Gacy Now Fulfill His 'Clown' Pledge? Christ almighty, what more evidence do you need?Professor Braunsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423240040552774114noreply@blogger.com
