Npr
I like this show and npr or at least I have in the past Every other story these days is about an extreme minoritynow With all the problems in this world to focus on which bathroom to use (that’s a metaphor for chasing a red herring which is another metaphor meaning you’re easily distracted from what is important) is what npr has become. NPR isn’t hard enough on herr trump.

ben collins for me is a dirtbag and me being from madison, wi i take offense to him taking over the onion. if you were part of spreading misinformation and disinformation then you are part of the problem. you don’t deserve being head of our beloved onion if i have characterized you correctly. everyone knows the onion was for laughs. spreading lies as you were doing is not a funny matter.
