NPR needs more hard news
Tell NPR that they need more hard news and more incisive international and national reporting. Too many human interest stories, not enough real issues...low wages, joblessness, underemployment, global warming, school graduation, condition of US education. Would like to see more science stories too. We need to go back to what they used to be!

I could not agree with this blogger more. More hard news, and more hard questions of those in power, less fluff, please. Juan Williams of NPR's recent interview with this ridiculous moron of a president is an example of poor questioning and the failure of solid follow-up questions, simply an opportunity for more unchallenged rhetoric. It is a sad state of affairs when most of NPR's content is boring and mainstream and sadly,, fluff.. I love NPR for their in-depth reporting, which other stations cannot support. That does not mean that I support in-depth reports on boring and irrelevent topics. At a time where our president is guilty of lying on a wide range of initiatives, and is proven to make exactly the most wrong decision time after time as the self-professed "decider", it is annoying to me that we hear in-depth stories of mildly irrrelevent human-interest stories. It is about time to confront the Bush administation about all the laws they have broken regarding illegal (against FISA congressional law, against torture, against secret CIA overseas shipping of suspects, and against lying) activity, which it continues to do, and should be held for account in the past. This man is worse than Nixon, and unlike him, should be in jail, along with Cheney.
Thanks for letting me vent. I hope it was productive, and not just angry.
