I see you've been listening to "Fresh Air" with Terri Gross. ;-)
Rarely, Terri is worthwhile, such as this interview with Indonesia expert Sidney Jones: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4458450
Christopher Leydon was like that before they let him go. He wanted more money. I thought money was bad?
I listen to NPR all the time. Themost irritating thing about the station is its fans actually think that NPR is completely un biased.
I had to drive into Boston with one of my Conservative friends one day and I put NPR on. They were doing a detailed study into "Pimp-Ho" culture. For two hours, they intervied pimps and their prostitutes. They talked about the lingo, and the social behavior of these folks. Funniest thing I have ever heard. I can't reprint the trash here as it's nasty. The funniest part is that they were SERIOUS.
My friend looked at me and said, "What is this? Some kind of a joke or something"?
I roared with laughter and said "No man, its NPR!"
That pretty much sums up the intellectual level of NPR as a whole. NPR's coverage of Israel is IMHO the most biased "news" on the station.
Arioch7 out!
