NPR has issued a formal apology to Abigael Evans, the 4-year-old Colorado girl who burst into tears—and Americans' hearts—while listening to a public radio report about the seemingly endless 2012 presidential election.

Miss the point much? Hey mom and dad, turn off the TV and radio and start talking to your children instead of ignoring them

[MNDude]

Don’t worry honey, soon you’ll have to hear only about Mitt Romney.

[Tublecane]

NPR says it’s sick of the election, too. They lie.

Mommy I’m tired of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney on NPR.

Please change the channel back to Uncle Rush.

[ari-freedom]

How about apologizing to Juan Williams?

[Uncle Miltie]

Bronco Bama, is that you?

Why are you running from discussing Benghazi?

The short video of the kid is terminally cute. Most likely she and her family will get a lot of laffs out of it in future years.

" . . . NPR said in a statement posted on its blog. "We must confess, the campaign's gone on long enough for us, too. Let's just keep telling ourselves: 'Only a few more days, only a few more days, only a few more days.'"

Well, I guess that they are not counting all the weeks of recounts & lawsuits.

The poor child probably caught a glimpse of Obama on TV. It isn’t a pretty picture, one that would be expected to frighten babies and startle the horses.

Ridiculous [on both sides] ...

First on the parents for actually posting the video ...

AND

NPR for apologizing - FOR WHAT ??? Get real ...

This lullaby should be a comfort to her:

I wish her parents would apologize to the American public for rubbing this display of ignorance in our faces.

The kid was probably bored to death listening to NPR (who isn’t?) and the parents should have at least told her the importance of having elections instead of having someone rule them for life. Arrgh.
