Slackmeyer: Listen, Warden, you have to move faster! The street's going to Hell! I've even heard that Salomon Brothers is being propped up by the fed! Warden: Don't believe it. Where are you picking up stretchers like that, Phil? Slackmeyer: The radio. NPR. Warden: "NPR?" Mark: Also, mom says to tell you your T-bills have matured. Boy, haven't we all! Later, dude!

Actually, for those that don’t know, it’s National Public Radio; but it is just like the newspapers (for those that remember them), strictly partisan politics.

Too true; I’ve even written to them asking why, when they run some vapid rightwing commentary, they don’t have a Democratic response, or at least interview someone with a different opinion. Sometimes I just turn it off in disgust.

Corporate criminals listening to NPR? A sign of its decline, even as far back as when this episode first ran.

“Wishy-washy NPR is partisan?”
.
Not as badly as some, but as I listen to Diane Rehm daily and can see a certain slant in her thinking. It isn’t so much party-based but assumes some things are good no matter what and some things are bad no matter what.
.They also have this silly rejection of outright lies which the Republican Party seems to have embraced with Donald Trump — even though they seem to not be quite as bothered by those lesser lies Hillary has short-circuited and said.
(If her mind gets bad enough, she may become just three times as good as Donald.)
