This is more of a rant than a post about a specific story. I've been listening to NPR since I was a kid, so for over 30 years. They have always had a left-of-center slant, but I generally found their coverage informative. However, in the last few years it has gotten really really bad. All that cultural programming that was mostly relegated to the universities 20 years ago has now seeped thoroughly into media and government institutions. When I turn it on now I will play little game and see how long I can listen before I hear a story involving "the narrative". It doesn't take long. A matter of minutes, usually. How many stories do we need about the gays or transgenders? Someone defied a sterotype, and another oppressed minority must deal with this or that obstacle... And lastly, the voices of the male announcers have gotten more and more effeminate and uptalky over the years. I find myself getting annoyed and turning it off quite often.

The best stuff recently has simply been the schadenfreude of hearing Simon Schama and David Brooks bemoaning Brexit. Suck it! Haha.

It would be so awesome if Trump wins, just to hear the wailing and gnashing of left-wing teeth.
