I've noticed that since they got the McDonalds (Kroc) money, NPR has really gone off the deep end. Every single one of their stories seems to have no purpose but to push their hard-left agenda. They seem to feel that they can throw caution to the wind.
Actually, I think this is a good thing. By feeding their followers a constant diet of left-wing propaganda, they are protecting them from reality. This drives them further toward their fantasy view of the world, which does nothing but weaken them.
