NPR is in the hot seat after censoring a movie review that named allegedly gay politicians
http://www.infoworld.com/d/adventures-in-it/not-theres-anything-wrong-286

The new documentary "Outrage" has provoked a small bit of outrage itself, after editors at NPR.org censored a review of the film, which aspires to "out" conservative politicians who are allegedly closeted gays.

Yes, that NPR. The home of Terry Gross, Click and Clack, and "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me." The cherished radio respite of croissant-munching, Volvo-driving, double-soy-mocha-latte lovers everywhere.

1. That article hit the nail on the head
NPR's reaction to its own reviewer made the film all that more relevant. Of course NPR has been a lily livered spineless bunch of weenies ever since some right wing congressmen threatened them with loss of funds during the bush debacle.

2. Sounds just like them. NPR is milquetoast, centrist pablum.

8. Howzabout my Congressman?
Unfortunately, that would be David Dreier (CA, 26th District).
