Neil Conan made me shut off the radio today.
Edited on Mon May-01-06 01:47 PM by bluerum
Today I was forced to turn off Neil Conan on NPR. It was a gut reaction to what seemed a biggoted racist show on illegal immigrants. It made me sick to think this crap aired on NPR.

This report seemed very slanted and gave voice to some of the nations crudest racist hate mongering. Far beyond Conan's normal RW bias.

Hey Neil, if you're out there. You are only one tiny reason why I stopped supporting NPR so don't let it go to your award winning head.

on edit sp: :dunce: - No journalism awards here,,,,

2. Sorry added a link to NPR site. You can read it when they scrub
err ahh, post it.

He had someone do a "pass the mic" interview with some of the protesters in Chicago. Then he did a one on one with a racist in Tallahassee.

He wrapped up his fine award winning show with someone who commented that (paraphrasing here) it was a "burrito free day " in Chicago.

3. I cut them off in 03
It was hard to do, but, necessary to keep me from shooting the stereo.
