New War Onion 4:36:10 PM

WOW! nntp//rss is an Amazing Piece of Work. [Russell Beattie Notebook] The problem is that most rss entries are pretty small, and I want to see a number of them at the same time. No nntp reader seems to support that idea. 10:20:35 AM

ALL THINGS DISTORTED:. More reader disgruntlement: I'm a lifelong NY Times reader and NPR listener. But no more. Raines has successfully driven me to subscribe to the Post. And this morning I started searching the radio dial for AM news to wake up to. The final nail in the NPR coffin occurred last night (3/21), when they reported on the Palestinian "Peace Protests." No mention of them chanting for "Our beloved Saddam, hit Tel Aviv." Instead, it was about them protesting American aggression. What really got me apoplectic was when they referred to the sympathetic relationship between Hamas and Hussein. As NPR described it, Hussein has helped give aid to Palestinian families who have lost loved ones in the struggle with Israel. This is how they refer to Hussein paying the families of homicide bombers. I'm through with NPR. Lots of epiphanies all round. This war is clarifying a lot of things, isn't it? - 1:56:03 PM [Andrew Sullivan - The Daily Dish] 8:32:15 AM
