If I hear more than about 5 minutes of NPR I get all depressed and suicidal. I gave up listening 15 years ago. It seemed like every news story had crying babies in the background. Or chanting protestors.
They did, for a while, have a wonderful economics correspondent. They gave him five minutes a weeek, and he moved on to better things.
Their constant 'plight of the (fill in needy group)' stories and their "Blind Lesbian Basket Weavers from the Outer Isles" crap did me in years ago. These people are just too precious to live on this planet.
