NPR is a public radio station, right?
Yesterday, as the sky came crashing down, ATC did a lengthy piece on the joys of moose hunting in Alaska.

"Sarah Palin has not only buoyed John McCain's poll numbers — she's brought a bright, shining light to one of Alaska's most enduring pasttimes: moose hunting. Joe Dilley, owner and operator of Joe's Guide Service in Soldotna, Alaska, says the fun in moose hunting ends when you pull the trigger."

Today it's singing Fins in Dupont Circle.

WTF?

Why aren't they using our airwaves and tax money to do stuff like this?

1. I changed stations after that came on
That fluff piece was a new low for Nazi Propoganda Radio. There are still some good shows on there, but the news is total shite.
