Listening to NPR
2011-01-12 - by
The last two mornings listening to National Public Radio while driving to work has been like being assailed; folks are calling-in mad as hornets and every media pundit is thoroughly morally outraged and they’re all blasting away at the Tea Party, saying overheated political rhetoric caused the shootings in Arizona and Sarah Palin all but aimed the gun and pulled the trigger.
That’s not ‘overheated’ political rhetoric?
Did the pot just call the kettle black?
Once upon a time in a land far away whenever there was a national tragedy the politicians set aside grinding axes and the media talking heads stopped bellowing long enough to practice old-fashioned good manners and decency by simply saying, ‘The victims are in our prayers’ – and then respectfully hushed.
Now everyone tries to milk it for all it’s worth like it’s the latest celebrity scandal.
