Now Let Us All Praise NPR

They often annoy me for sloppy interviewing, breathless hero worship, mostly of GOOPers, and frequent gross violation of the standards of good journalism, but I have to give then credit today. Two reports cover controversial territory, provide good facts relevant to current issues and reflect the best in enterprise journalism as it should be practiced. Julie Rovner reported on the frequent use of Budget Reconciliation over the years (most frequently by GOOPers) to pass controversial measures. Most of the use of Reconciliation by Democrats has been used for HEALTH CARE REFORM. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124009985 Likewise, KUDOs for Peter Overby who has more than once raised questions about "The Family" a Christofacist movement intent on taking over the nation if not the world. Overby reports on the illegal use of a 501(C)(3) property tax exemption for "The C-Street house," a crash pad maintained by the secretive cabal for the convenience of evangelical politicians and their clandestine lovers. http://www.npr.org/templates/player/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=124031022&m=124031013
