        You're right, I was being polite. Your portrayal of NPR merely
showed lack of knowledge of the subject. And a knee jerk reaction to the
media in general, which being a media basher myself, I understand. But in
this case was off base.

        SNIP, then goes on to belittle any such critiques, essentially

        So, how should they have phrased this perfectly valid topic to suit
your ear? Of course, in this case, calling it by any other name would be
obscuring the issue with language. As something did go wrong, or to put it
in another way, it could have, should have, gone much, much better. And that
is a topic worthy of discussion.
