It's no better here in Vermont. I used to listen to NPR for the sake of the classical music. But there's no classical music left. It's all left-wing talk shows and third-rate jazz, and third rate anti-Bush jokes on Prairie Home Companion.

I've always liked good jazz, but I'm beginning to hate the very sound of the stuff they try to shove down listeners' throats, no doubt because they think it's politically correct. What ever happened to Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane? Whatever happened to Mozart, Bach, Hayden, and those guys?

The ONLY excuse for public radio was that it was educational--that it broadcast stuff that was good for people and that wasn't commercially feasible. Whatever happened to nonpolitical discussions on informative subjects? History, geography, philosophy, art, cooking, almost anything but POLITICS ALL THE TIME.

Now it's nothing but POLITICS ALL THE TIME.

A long time ago I used to listen to NPR's All Things Considered until it became apparent that it was really All Liberal Things Considered. NPR is nothing but left wing cultural and political propaganda.
