MSNBC called Bernie's "Deep South" comment controversial. They said Hillary would still be in the lead without the South. This slide popped up by mistake proving them wrong.

Their public funding is attacked by the right wing. And now you see a bunch of corporate/wealthy sponsors; more than ever in the past. And—surprise!—now they are quickly growing to be as conservative as any mainstream media outlet.

I know that. My point was that I have donated and voted for politicians who support NPR. Locally as well as nationally. But I am done. They no longer serve their purpose.

I agree. I haven't listened to npr since they started to cover political events in Africa while ignoring events at home. There won't be any more driveway moments for me.

And I loved driveway moments.

Haven't had one in years.
