Hope NPR learns that it is not On Golden Pond out there but rather Jaws. Anyhow Happy Ramadan.

Gilkey’s first journalism job was with the Boulder Daily Camera in Colorado, where he covered local assignments for the paper and overseas assignments for Knight Ridder, according to NPR. He later joined the Detroit Free Press until he began working for NPR in 2007. While he doesn't look like a true believer, his resume paints him into a corner with Sanders and Clinton.

It’s not that they don’t comprehend danger.
They believe they’re immune to it because they’re so wonderful.

NPR should hire Dan Rather and Brian Williams as replacements. They are available.

Why does National Public Radio have a photographer/videographer?

Saw pictures of him on the NPR website. He dressed like a contractor, IMO. I bet they thought the photographer gig was a cover and they weren’t buying it. But being a Westerner in the wrong place at the wrong time was probably enough.

No, no, they must be mistaken. I know I heard Obama say he had ended two wars....the one in Afghanistan is over.....at least Obama said it was.......The one in Iraq is over, too.....Obama said so......

Is anyone else surprised to learn that National Public
Radio sends photographers on field assignments?
What pictures, that he took using our tax dollars, did they show on the radio?
