“That’s about as much chance happening as the lasting time of an ice cube in a blast furnace....”

Maybe. But this morning, the most remarkable thing happened. Searching the radio dial it rested upon NPR and the report I heard that was factually accurate in describing how many women (42%) rejected Hillary Clinton and did not succumb to the pressure from the Clinton campaign to vote for Clinton simply because she’s was a woman.

An actual fair report from NPR. I looked above me to see if there were pigs flying.

Yes I heard that NPR postmortem too. They even played audio of a woman complaining about the patronizing attitude and pressure to vote for Hillary.

Amazingly, there was finallya little self-criticism coming out of NPR this morning, even from some of the worst hosts. They admitted they had erred in first portraying Trump as a "joke," then as a "national menace." They seem to understand now that many voters resented this - ergo, it was a mistake.

Also shockingly, the NPR hosts admitted that their version of providing a "diversity of voices" (upon which they had prided themselves enormously), had not turned out to be genuinely inclusive, after all.
