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.
