Sure thing Larry.

By the way, are you selling any investor swampland or maybe pre-owned
cars or how about multi-level marketing.

You must think most people in the news group are pretty stupid.


Certainly a fair number of them are. Why don't you and RHF stretch
those mighty intellects of yours and think back to the original
post on this thread. Who is it who is carrying NPR's daily news feed?
Is it Radio Havana? Iran? North Korea? No it is the freaking United
Stated Department of Defense. Who is the bureaucrat who made that
decision ultimately accountable to? George Soros? Victor Navasky? Nope.
Donald Rumsfeld. And who are the intended audience - a bunch of Ivy
League classics professors sitting around drinking Chablis? No, you
dopes, they are a bunch of military people. A group generally more
conservative perhaps than the average, but people who are not interested
in being spoon-fed a lot of simplistic conspiracy-theory laden claptrap
by kooks and paid entertainers.

Sure, if you need simple monochromatic sloganeering
answers to life's questions, anything that deals seriously with complex
issues will look slanted toward the side opposite to whatever your side
is. For every trailer-park-living Ru****e who thinks the NY Times and
NPR are commie-loving seditionists there's an LSD-dropping communard
somewhere who thinks they are right-wing crypto-fascist tools. Both
sides are crippled marginal figures incapable of and uninterested
in making informed decisions about anything important.
