Well, actually, a friend of mine listens to NPR, and when I cast light aspersions on this habit, she replied, "I have to drive to work. What else is there?" (She lives in a fairly reddish state, far from Sodom, Gomorrah, and Babylon.) A difficult question to answer unless you can get your car on the Internet.
I gave up NPR when they started cheerleading for the wars in ex-Yugoslavia -- I think. It was some war or other, and I may be getting confused. There's always a war.
Listening to classical music would be better than letting the worm into your brain on your way to work. Better no information than wrong information. This idea that “It’s all I can get” is bull-squirt. If all I had to listen to was speeches by T-rump, do you think I’d listen? Jeez Louise, NO. She listens because it’s easy and she wants to. Plus, anyone can find good reporting on the internet before or after work. Like CommonDreams tho that’s getting a little Russia Russia Russia phobic. Consortium News is good. Even has Caitlin. Truthout and truthdig are pretty good. Grayzone is excellent tho not immediate. One just has to work a bit. Being a citizen requires something of us.
