No state radio ever did a better job than NPR did, in their promotion of Obama

[billbuckhead]

NPR promoting something should be like a momentary flicker of the check engine light on your car, before it stays on. Yeah, NPR should win some sort of propaganda award for all the image making they did for Obama, I can't think of anyone doing it better.

1. Enlighten us all on their Propagandous efort.

2. An endless barrage of pro-Obama, anti-Hillary and ignore Edwards

An endless barrage of pro-Obama, anti-Hillary and ignore Edwards (unless he was attacking Hillary), all during prime morning drivetime. A puffy interview at 8:42 in the morning allowing him to pivot from yesterday's election. Endless beautifully staged, but obviously contrived interviews with random people across primary states. I remember how they did Wes Clark in 2004.

3. They used a bunch of sexist words.

Like "unhinged," and "conflate," and "frustrated," and "band saw."

4. NPR has been horrible since Bob Edwards left.

It's all fluff interviews and 90-second discussions of serious issues. Every interview or story seems too short to me, except the ones about books or bands or actors; they get twice the airtime they should.
