The Public Notice, Now an NPR Sponsor!

[peristaltor]

In my last post I made a mistake. I referred to an enhanced sponsorship spot as one dealing with "tax". I was wrong. In my fury sparked by Morning Edition's "news" I conflated the stories on taxes with the actual agency providing NPR with money

Or you could send what you've found out, right back to that very same ombudsman, as soon as you've found it out.

I doubt he or she is ignorant of this information. In fact, I doubt that NPR can screen any sponsor who ponies up the cash. There are too many names of questionable corporations mentioned far too many times.

Which is undoubtedly part of the plan. For example, NPR and PBS gives big agribusiness a pass in its stories on the hazards of modern large-production farming. Which might have something to do with all those Archer-Daniels-Midland, Conagra and Monsanto spots that constantly air.

Now that The Public Notice pays for ads, no one at NPR will be questioning why anonymous donors are doing their best to conflate Presidents Bush and Obama.

What was that Bush said before he left office? Something about history deciding his legacy? Confuse the record, confuse the historians.

*SIGH* Great, now I'm completely depressed, and have a pain in all the diodes down my left side.

Diodes? Are you by any chance a rectifier? I've always wanted to talk to a rectifier.

I suppose you could always go over to Democracy Now! They tend to not have corporate sponsers but they are not quite as entertaining and as you know I must be entertained!

If your need for entertainment is so great, what are you doing reading anything I write?

[bleaknemesis]

My need for schadenfreude.

I have already emailed NPR saying my stop supporting PBS because of this and will do the same with my local station.
