NPR: whatever the story, they make it about moral values (FannieMae fraud)

[AP]

Anyone hear the story they just did about FannieMae? Rather than talk about the legal, political and economic implications, the frame was the whistle-blower's 'morals.'

Merry Christmas Everyone! God Bless!

The FannieMae story followed a story about homeschooling in Nebraska -- the people doing the home schooling say they're doing it in order to produce the next generation of people to fight "activist judges."

1. well, corporate crooks are immoral

We should be repeating that until it becomes conventional wisdom.

7. Forget morals. I want to know what it's going to do to the housing bubble

which is propping up what little spending there is, and which is getting a lot of people on the hook with unsupportable debt.

2. BOYCOTT NPR!!! No donations, no tuning in, no nothing.

The only sleazy whore is a whore that knows better! NPR knows better.

8. You are dead-on right.

That report was some of the most top-heavy pro-"faith" crap I've heard in a long time -- since...well, the LAST report by Barbara Bradley hagerty on NPR.

4. Because "moral values" are so soft and stretchable,

they'll fit over anything!

5. They are whores in the 1st degree!

No disprespect to prostitutes intended.

6. Throw NPR overboard

They're no longer worthy of our trust or our dough.

Let 'em go ahead and finally be the mouthpiece for corporate America they yearn to be. They'll make for some very classy ho's.

NPR was in on the "moral value" scam right out of the gate. The following is what I found on election night from the folks at NPR:
(caution; It's full of swears, I was hopping mad.)

Listening to NPR's election coverage was like discovering hookers turning tricks on your own back porch.
