It’s certainly unfair for you to characterize the entire liberal world as intolerant hypocrites, based on the reactions of a few dozen people.

Oh? Look past the reactions, then, to the entire spectrum of NPR programming. Notice any gaping black holes where information isn’t provided in oh-so-eloquent tones on certain unwelcome subjects?

Where’s the reasoned argument from this tolerant broadcast agency in favor of reducing government intrusion into business practices? In favor of owner control of private acreage? Exposing the enormous expense of light rail transportation, and shining a light on the partisan beneficiaries? In favor of unhampered property exchanges between consenting adults? Investigating the excess of school administrators over teachers? Doing an in-depth series about the damage done by political correctness to the body politic?

Is there anything hypocritical about NPR’s slant on life? How about calling its most unctuous program “All Things Considered” when those gaping black holes are screaming for attention?

There, you don’t have to play “All Commenters Considered” to find a few flies in the ointment.
