Bryant Park Project: Gen Y Corporate Media With a Smirk?
Edited on Mon Jul-07-08 07:17 AM by endarkenment
Initially I thought the new NPR morning show had something going for it, now I am convinced that at least one of its regulars (a male, I have no idea what his name is) is taking his orders from the RNC Daily Talking Points.

This morning he was interviewing the editor in chief of Politico, the self annointed web authority on everything political, which has its own issues of objectivity, and the subject of McBoring's regurgitation of the Gas Tax Idiocy came up. The BPP Male Shill was pushing hard the line that while this bullshit was teh fail(stupid) two months ago, now it was A Real Good Idear that would Play Well With The Electorate. BPP Male Shill's point seemed to be that in the Democratic Primary, only the elite-latte drinkers were involved, as in no regular working people, but now everything was different. Neither politico's editor nor BPP Male Shill could be bothered to state WHY the Gas Tax Idiocy is teh fail(stupid) and is a massive dishonest pandering piece of bullshit. No balance, no objectivity, talking points straight from the RNC. Big shock there.

I give up (again) on NPR.
