NPR ... No Purpose, Really.
NPR (also known as "crap") should stand for "No Purpose, Really." Because it has no purpose, at least none that I can rationally see (or hear). It is the in-house P.A. system for whacko liberals across the country and does not even make an attempt at unbiased reporting. Even though in journalism school (which is filled with hypocrites and liars, students and professors), students are "taught" to report clearly and concisely without bias, making all efforts to inform, NPR sounds like something broadcast out of Pyongyang.
In the "news" this morning (I could only stand to listen to 1/2 an hour of it, otherwise I might have infarcted) the audio clips on what Congress is trying to do to alleviate the potential economic slowdown consisted of: (1) Nancy "the Vampire" Pelosi; (2) Harry Reid; (3) Ted Kennedy ("Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts" as opposed to "Fat Blowhard Windbag Hypocrite"); and some never heard of Rebooblican Congressman from Idaho.
Pelosi talked about "finally getting something done" as though Rebooblicans had been stalling her good deeds -- ignoring that it is her party that controls the House of Representatives and the Senate. But it sounded good on radio and filled the listener with wrath for the fat-cat Rebooblicans who are dragging our country into this mess. Reid said ... I am not exactly sure what.
Blowbag stated that we needed to increase the food stamps and financial assistance to the welfare rolls and the other needy and that would get the money spent locally to small businesses ... a direct boost to the economy. The Rebooblican Conrgressman stated in a shrill whine that he thought that this sort of stimulus would not work because the typical expenditures of those recipients would largely go to buying Chinese and other foreign goods -- as the low end producers in almost every category of consumer goods. Ted looks like a champion of the masses and the Rebooblican a villain supporter of the Evil Conglomerates. The trouble is, the Rebooblican may be at least partially correct -- "we might be stimulating the Chinese economy, not ours." But that takes more than surface thought, it takes a basic understanding of economics -- something the Democrats and NPR wish to avoid having the public consider ... better for them to emote.
The next "news" item was the situation in New Orleans and the efforts to provide housing for those displaced by Katrina. The subtext was the failure of the Federal Government to make everything better. A homeless person interviewed by NPR stated that he had been robbed in broad daylight by youths of his cigarettes, lighter and wallet. Subtext is the lawlessness that is allowed to reign in New Orleans (the responsibility for which is Boosh's and not local corrupt government and law enforcement -- in a Democrat controlled state and city -- because Boosh caused the Katrina disaster). Obama might point out that it was black on black crime allowed to exist by white controlled law enforcement and court systems. But ultimately, the electorate controls all of this, at least on the State level. And they voted Sugar Ray Nagin back into office. Go figure ... but don't blame society, or me.
But what we didn't hear was how foreign stock markets are actually doing. We didn't hear about the Gazans demolishing the wall -- to EGYPT -- and running amok. We didn't hear about the UN pressure being stepped up on Ahmadinejad. We didn't hear about Obama's growing support in South Carolina -- major papers there endorsed him. Maybe they would get to it. Maybe. But if you only listened to NPR, with their very cool acoustic guitar riffs, mellow voices, support from our listeners, I doubt you could have any realistic view of the world or politics at all. I wonder what the actual dollar amounts given by corporations are - as opposed to NPR using the corporate names to appear that NPR represents their views too. Remember corporations employ people whose sole job is to dispense the 501(c)(3) manna and a desire to look less rapacious that they really are -- so it is sort of a symbiotic lie and relationship: but just try and tell me that United Technologies "supports" NPR's political skew ... UT makes military parts, engines, electronics, etc. That is just smoke and mirrors and breathtakingly hypocritical as is NPR's use of UT's name.
