3. Ed Rendell was on Rachel the other night saying
that this is a very small movement that has been promoted by the MSM as something much bigger than it really is. In Springfield IL two days ago 15,000 people protested for the state government to RAISE OUR TAXES and for the IL legislature to show some guts. But it got barely a mention.

5. npr is one of the worst around now
Edited on Fri Apr-23-10 08:43 AM by scentopine
they are soooooo careful to not offend the right wing. They cuddle with them, they stroke them, all the while giving a stab in the back of liberals.

They do this because they know that 90% of the wealth in this country is controlled by 10% of the richest.

They simply follow the money and this is good for their older conservative demographic.

The two pillars morning edition and all things considered lack originality, insight and creative energy.

Instead of a source of a non-commercial alternative, they are about as slick and useless as a Fortune 500 annual report.
