Prairie Home Companion is not an NPR show.

NOTE: The Canadian-Born Robert MacNeil also had that 'looks-stuffy' appearance, and Canada does start with a "C" just like Conservative ;-} . i am beginning to feel better about npr already ~ RHF - Car Talk, with Click & Clack (The Tappett Brothers) - A Prairie-Home Companion - Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me - The Infinite Mind - Says You! - Talk of the Nation - Science Friday - The Thistle & Shamrock - Whad'ya Know? All of those make NPR *GREAT*!! (at least to me). What I could do without is their news reporting. For instance, on a telephone interview with some correspondent in the S.Asia tsunami zone, the NPR interviewer asked the correspondent something along the lines of, "What have you seen that made you cry?"... I wished the guy over there had responded with, "DUDE! I'm in an area that is virtually *littered* with decaying corpses!!" But he didn't. The whole piece was typical of NPR news pieces - focused more on emotion and opinion than facts and lightly dusted with negative politics. NPR news (like the majority of network news broadcasters) provides a comfort zone for the political left that seems to prefer symbolism over substance. But NPR's entertainment content is clearly a cut above anything else out there. Just my opinions... -=jd=- |
