(also, ever watch lehrer's tv show on cuny tv? he's a funny-lookin guy, and he cuts loose with more opinionating there. he told saddam hussein to "burn in hell" after the execution.)

listening to NPR like two minutes ago and there's this kind of inane cell-phone technology puff piece on, and they get a caller. daniel, a contractor of some kind, is telling the anchor dude (neil?) in a weird broken-dieter accent that this new technology saves him from hours of driving a day, since he gets in touch with all of his sites via those walky-talky jobbies. --- So, sir, you're in construction? --- Ja, and the improved vibration settings are amaaazing, so you can always tell, you just drive around and it just fits so perfectly in your scheißer hole and (thanks for the feedback! cut to 'commercial')

Why are comments closed for a particular story?
Comments on story pages are automatically shut down after five days; on blogs they close after 14 days. For the most part, we try our hardest not to close any comment thread before they close automatically. But sometimes, when things get too heated and a conversation has become uncivil, we’ll shut the thread down.
L~O~L
they publish transcripts, right?

If you did not imagine this, they have rather seamlessly removed any hint of scheisser business from the online audio (and yet retained the bulk of the german guy's conversation as if he were a legit caller)

Ok, this is WNYC, not NPR -- I know, I know, member station. But really these fucking Austria ads.
"WNYC is supported by Austria and her coffeehouses. Where you can plot a revolution, like Marx. Or discover the human psyche, like Freud." or whatever the fuck they say. Really.

Everywhere I go, as much as I can, I listen to National Public Radio. It's an oasis of clear-headed intelligence. Carefully, patiently, it presents programming designed to make me feel just a little better equipped to reenter the world of uproar.

A fantastic piece on the organization, especially on the Juan Williams brouhaha. Also bits like:
The editor of the Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol, once confessed to former NPR ombudsman Jeffrey Dvorkin that he really didn’t believe NPR was liberal; he just said so “to keep you guys on the defensive.”

Just pulling this up 'cus of a thing on skot's FB. Interested in the new (maybe) slightly more central (maybe) place NPR has in pop culture; like how it's sort of an Apple-ish boutique brand of news. In my childhood, I remember it as a stuffy ol' bastion of the gentry – Lawrence Welk, Robert J Lurtsema, BBC World Service. Now, though, it seems to be a widely-acknowledged signifier of a social/politicical ideology incrementally left of center – but only in the way that doesn't raise ripples. The Starbucks-Intellegencia Tribune. Or ... maybe this is just my station, my perception, my baggage? Curious, though, about other perceptions of it.

I can't deal with a lot of their shows - Diane Rehm works too hard to give the shills she sometimes have on room to air their bullshit, and Terry Gross is still the worst, and A Prairie Home Companion is an abomination, etc. - but my local NPR station (KERA) has a really good afternoon interview program called Think that justifies my tiny donation to them every year. The local NPR music station is usually pretty bland but has its heart in the right place.
