Me thinks that NPR is suffering from the Miss Piggy syndrome: A Grand Delusion of “How Beautiful Am I!”
In this case, substitute “moderate” or “middle of the road” or “a True Reflection of Truth and American Values” for “Beautiful”.
IOW, NPR, no matter what you think, you are not:
“moderate”
“middle of the road”
or
“a True Reflection of Truth and American Values”.
You are simply a pretentious pig who loves to wallow in liberal muck.
(should I tell them what I really think?)

And.. that effete NPR voice is especially irritating. Does anyone know anyone who speaks like THAT!
