    NPR, Bonds, etc.

    A couple of paragraphs from an NPR story:

    Bonds, of course, is controversial because he has been linked to the steroids epidemic in baseball. Many people insist they will not recognize his accomplishments, calling them tainted. But there's even a bigger issue for us at NPR.

    We say that we're even handed on the issues, even though most people know we get our marching orders from the Kremlin. And so, in the Barry Bonds case, do we risk further antagonizing conservatives in Congress by heralding the most prolific lefty of all time?

    Don't forget David Sedaris describing NPR:

    "I first listened to National Public Radio in 1977. I was young then, but I saw the network for what it was, and continues to be: a conspiracy of Jews."

    As an aside: it is interesting that people continue to associate communism with "the left" while the left does tend to have a socialist economic bent to it, the reality of modern communisms (at least the governmental ones) have all been that on all issues other than economic distribution of wealth they have been exceedingly conservative (to often stepping over the line into totalitarianism) - and their policies etc truly have much more in common with "the right".

    I guess $$$ is what matters in the end though...
