furtheradu's JournalI have very mixed feelings on this.
I love the programs like "wait,wait, don't tell me", "snap judgment","this American Life", "Moth story hour", "Texas Standard", "Fresh Air", "Think" & "On Being"💜.
I've listened to npr, depended on npr, supported npr, DAILY, since the *years. I became very disillusioned with "Morning Edition", in the Obama administration.. a definite slant TOWARDS their corporate sponsors, ie, kock bros, big oil..
& the 1st time I heard Steve Inskeep interview Pres. Obama, I was LIVID. He was SO rude, disrespectful, argumentative, constantly interrupting..VERY offensive to me.
Then, the past year or so, they were so pushing the nonsense that Hillary couldn't be trusted, never giving the same skepticism of trump, letting him skate, with all his obvious flaws & questionable connections & actions. They turned themselves inside-OUT to give that freak & his supporters (more than)equal time, with out equal SCRUTINY.
AFTER my bawling all night election night, suddenly the very next "Morning Edition" was all incredulous & aghast, about all the potential "conflicts of interest" & NO experience & bad temperament, & possible connections to pooty, & mobsters, & "what about all his businesses? ? !"
I was physically ill, & yelled out loud, "NOW you ask questions? !?" (& some cussing happened).
By the way, I encourage you to check out that morning's showin their archives. I can't.
I will say, they are more "fair" now than the past 8 yrs.BFD. The damage is done.
I see LOTS of PBS commercials to support PBS, and npr is doing their spring fund-begging, & I have to admit...o,well! Let 'em sweat & squirm. They earned it.
Maybe not as conflicted as I thought I was.

THANK YOU DU.
My only "child" Home from Iraq, & OUT.
Mind, Body & Spirit.. whole, healthy, & strong. I AM truly lucky & Blessed. Every day, my morning prayer is thanking Spirit for THIS. Some days I am exhausted, depressed, or down to my last $.. & then I remember. MY Son is HOME, & OUT. Thank YOU for the question.. I needed to remember, tonight. 💖
2 ?s/thoughts from the past week, please?
IRL, I am overwhelmed.. beneath the surface, I'm doing a fierce dawg paddle. I don't have cable, & run out of smartphone data about a week after paying for the month's service. I started a new job March 1st, $ a lil better, but trumper-boss is a reallll ..challenge. all this is just to explain I'm having trouble keeping up with all the crazy right now.
ANYWAYS!
my 2 thoughts/?s..!
#1: Since the GA election last week, I have heard diddly squat about election "irregularities" there. Any follow up info on this?
#2: I'm not sure if it was a report on the possible guv shutdown or passing trump-don't-care (on PBS, I think), emphasis on jerk's 1st 100 days ..& he's walking outside (!!) & says "next week doesn't matter".. it gave me the willies. Still does. I thought.. he's going to do something horrible to distract from all his failures & corruption & russia-collusion.
Would appreciate DUer feedback or thoughts! tia!
Watching NOW! She makes me tear up!
Bless her!
She walks the walk.
She KNOWS our trials, our troubles.
She knows US.
Her compassion, wisdom, and strength are SO inspiring.
Please, God, let Warren be the next President.
Let me do what I can, to make it so. Amen.

I was that lil kid..spent some time with a normal Family. .
full of LOVE and acceptance and stability and goood times and humor. Too soon, had to return to my dysfunctional family, neglect, abuse, terror. But that glimpse of Paradise stayed with me. I *mostly* followed that Lovely example, broke the cycle, and gave my Child LOVE,acceptance, stability, goood times and humor. We can do that too, NOW.. Obama showed us..despite the horror of our present reality..we KNOW we can do and have better. .we know we DESERVE better. .& WE can achieve & create that goood in our lives again..for ourSelves & our Babies. STAY STRONG, Y'ALL 💖
