At the risk of (again) having my conservative cred questioned, I will opine that there is some good stuff in npr. I found this while browsing in “Fresh Air.” I find the hostess of that show to be a very good interviewer. On Roe v Wade Day this year she did a remarkable interview wit ha pro lifer.
That being said, should the FedGov be subsidizing any form of broadcast communication? No.
I participate in a shape note singing group. A couple of years ago, we sang on the local npr station on a locally produced live music show. I contribute a small amount of my money because I think it is the right thing to do.
What is shape note singing? With my old Windows setup I'd have just minimized this screen, put in a search for "shape note singing", and found out for myself. But this new Windows 8 is darned near incomprehensible to me.
Nothing but the best at taxpayer expense.
