Written in December of 2009. I used to listen to NPR on the radio in my car a lot. NPR has this presence to it, regardless of the program or who was speaking at the time, you knew for sure it is an NPR station. Some real honesty in its delivery, completely unlike the 24-hours news stations--who are better described by other H-words. Hysteria. Hegemony. Halliburton. There isn't any frightening language, terror alerts, not a lot of breaking news. But kind of, easy going, skipping-along-the-pond news. Some peace to it all, even when NPR is reporting on the 30,000 troop surge in Afghanistan. Important enough that you listen to it, but not insecure enough to scream at you if you aren't. You still get the sense the world is going to end, but it isn't because Bill O'Reilly is showing you that human beings have lost all sense of politeness and tact.
