This isn't inaccurate, but it's not necessarily the same people making both decisions. Like with any media outfit, there's a lot of push and pull on what gets published. And right now it's extra sensitive because a lot of people in the industry aren't happy with their jobs or their publications. NPR isn't any different. It's one of the reasons I left journalism in general. I got exhausted of fighting.

Big media is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the parasitic classes.

If a thing can be made to make money it will do so and in such a way as to maximize the collateral damage it creates so as to prevent others from benefiting. It's the same reason grocery store owners will throw away edible food and pour bleach over it to keep the poor from getting it.

Yes, that's true. But it's also very broad, and I think it's important to understand how the day-to-day decisions get made. Those decisions are also effects of capitalism, and the more we understand the process the better we can deal with it. If socialism on a large scale in the US is going to happen, these are the kinds of things that are going to be a big part of the transition. We need to understand what infrastructure capitalism has built, how we can use it, and where the needs of capitalism held it back.

Also, coming up, we have Thomas Friedman and David Brooks talk about how despite only getting five percent in the polls Amy Klobuchar is the clear front runner. Aftr that we will rather then talking about how people could just eat less meat, they should instead eat maggot burgers.

today on all things considered: Joe Biden, and the broad appeal of having a neuro-atypical presidential candidate. Is the secret to broad bipartisan appeal having a head full of casu marzu?

And later, on Marketplace: Remembering David Koch, philanthropist, patriot, genius, radio station owner, hero... perhaps even a God? Our unbiased reflection on one brilliant and handsome man's life, next time, on Marketplace

I cannot fathom that Paula Poundstone is still going strong on NPR. Even Comedy Central stopped showing her stuff in the mid 90s and they showed everything. When she finally passes, I'm trying to come up with whatever mediocre, completely forgettable comedian will take her place for another 3 decades.

This, and I actually hate cars. I just liked the show because the guys had so much fun.

Today on "This American Life" We talk to Jon Anstrom III a man who amde his living at develping reports on how companies can fire people deemed redundant had a relationship with Chasiti Reddick who is a assistant vice president at Nordstroms and eventually broke up. Then moved cities and then got back into contact and became good friends after they went to a conference where Jon made a presentation on how Nordstroms can increase it's stock price by firing all workers who have been on over ten years. I'm Ira Glass.

(Why does everyone at NPR who isn't the guys from Car Talk photgraph make me wish the US had it's own Pol Pot)?

We also have Thomas Brooks III from the foundation of World Democracies to discuss how Bolton made the world a safer place.

Next on American Roots rather than say look into the origins of Techno in Detroit or how the LA metal scene was instrumental in the development of Thrash into one of the most distinctive sounds in the genre. We will instead will talk to some folk singers daughter who had one song covered by Bob Dylan just like our last five episodes. (I like Dylan, but seriously).

Today on All Things Considered, Joe Biden's eye didn't explode in a torrent of blood during last night's debate - could this signal a comeback for the former VP, after online fringe socialists hacked polls to improve Bernie's numbers?

Also, is Julian Castro guilty of elder abuse?

Look to your left. Look to your right. Only one of you is going to pass this course.
we'd like to preface this story by noting that amazon is a sponsor of NPR

I'm Yeonwoo Washington-Lorraine and here we have Dink Whitebread, economist from Chicago school of economics. so tell us Dink, how come amazon paying taxes to the state of new york if they get the albany headquarters could cause big economic problems? Is there a good reaosn Amazon should't own the entire nation

Dink: not really. if Amazon just owns all of New York we'll all have good jobs and we can just pay taxes on the money we make and fund public programs

Yeonwoo: I see. So what are the people really protesting about? Why don't they want Amazon HQ in their city?

Dink: They're just stupid and poor and don't understand

Thanks so much Dink. Next we have Zara Patronicum talking about her new book "I did it and so can you: why institutionalized racism is easy to overcome"
