Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Listening to @NPR in airport car and egads is their Haspel torture coverage awful. Repay again: one real story of this nomination is complicity of so-called liberal media.

        NPR is a Trojan horse, and has been since the selling of the Iraq war. Haspel fifteen years later just shows that that original horror was not a terrible mistake, but who NPR is.

        Yeah, I have them on in my car a lot and it’s a recipe for gnashing my teeth. They start every story with a direct quote of a Trump lie, and never call it out as such, just maybe say that someone is concerned about the situation.

        NPR has been noticeably squeamish about pushing back against quite a few of this Administration's ideas and people. All about access.

        By not categorically dismissing Haspel as a torturer, she has been normalized. For what, to appear fair?

        I think it’s got something to do with intersectionality.

        Chomsky said he never listens to NPR in the car because if he did he would wind up driving into a ditch.

        I was in a cabin in WV last summer for a week. No internet. No newspapers. Only NPR every couple hours or so on a transistor radio. I was driven bonkers within 2 days.
