NPR on Thatcher
I was interested to see how NPR would handle Margaret Thatcher's passing, and as usual I was not disappointed.
Their coverage this morning carefully encompassed the entire gamut of opinion, from Super-lefty Polly Toynbee at the "left-leaning" (!) UK Guardian (she characterized Thatcher's legacy as "devastating") all the way over to an economist from the staunchly left London School of Economics, an outfit founded by the Fabian Socialists and rigidly and proudly true to those colors (various shades of red) ever since.
NPR, of course, prides itself on being very strong on "Diversity." Well, except for their own operation, which is partially taxpayer-funded (WHY? WHY? WHY?), which contains not a single conservative or libertarian voice of any form, type, or description, zero, zip, nada.
One proud taxpayer,
