BYRON YORK: NPR: No apology for ‘Tea Bag’ attack cartoon. Best bit: “Shepard says neither she nor the NPR staffers who approved the cartoon knew that there was anything derogatory about the phrase ‘tea bagger.'” And here I thought it was the bitter-clinger types who were supposed to be sexually illiterate . . . .

Meanwhile, if NPR wants cartoons representing a diversity of views at its site — as they say they do — why not add Chris Muir to the mix? I’m sure he’d make ’em a deal.
