I've given money to my local NPR station for some years, but I'm increasingly unhappy with their parroting the commercial media, asking how people feel about the ads and scandals rather than going below the surface. I told them that this may be my last year. My diary may irritate some who think that the only purpose of dkos is to promote Democratic candidates, which isn't my view. I don't see NPR biased for or against liberal ideas, they want to stir the pot and have a rightist spokesperson and a "moderate" who nowadays is much more conservative (Overton window has moved a mile) than would have been true in 1972. Strongly conservative people feel that NPR are "far leftists". They feel that 50% of us are far leftists and want to keep moving the Overton window.
