Oh, good grief. NPR, you disappoint me. Today on Talk of the Nation you gave 20 minutes of air time to John Fund's attempt to whitewash Jesse Helms's reputation.
It can't be done, but the right-wingers keep trying. See Hilzoy's compilation of their statements. Some of them are beyond ludicrous.
I have all but stopped listening to NPR. ATC has Gerson on there, for God's sake. GERSON. The guy who came up with "Axis of Evil." And don't even get me started on Cokie Roberts again.
