News & Events - November 2006

I once was told how biased it was in one direction or another. How do you feel about NPR?

I don't want to give clues as to which way it was accused of leaning, my own political leanings or my own opinions of NPR so as not to taint anyone's responses.

"Just the facts, M'am.", as Joe Friday might say. :)

Why do you think? Is it justice to allow a man who has been termed the "Butcher of Baghdad" to be given other punishment than to be put to death?

Cheap gas will not "save" an economy in decline, especially with all major business decisions within corporate america dictating a massive shove towards 'TRICKLE-UP' economics, to a few major stockholders. Works for a few people who can't get that snout too deep into the trough...unlicked cubs of society? Like celebrities...

The wholesale sell-out of America is in full swing, courtesy of business majors who job is now to steal money instead of earning it.

...isn't that the route of a 3rd world country? Is this the "new america" Ronald Regan spoke of?

15 Year Old Schoolboy allegedly stabbed then burnt to death by 3 Pakistani men in their late 20's.

After the horric murder of Steven Lawrence, the press were falling all over themselves to report, infact it's still national news on the aniversary - Why not for this lad - Is it because he is white? might it start people thinking that racism is evident in all communities - not just the white.

The state of this counrty sickens me!!

Wisecracks about being "over the hill" and "past it" are no laughing matter for workers at South Gloucestershire council, who have been told age-related jokes could constitute discrimination or even harassment.

In a memo sent to the council's 10,000 staff, personnel chief Paul Scrivener warned: "Even sending a colleague a birthday card that says they are 'over the hill and past it' could be taken as ageist behaviour. This is not just a phase the council are going through, it's the law which means you will be liable for any comments or action you make or do that someone may find ageist and discriminatory."

Why do we keep saying that you couldn't make it up?

Because of my nose for news I'm going to be a Citizen Journalist (As wanted by The Sun and Radio Five Live) I've sniffed around here and nothing is happening. Is it all right in that case, if I make it all up like the newspapers do?

The reason why I'm asking is because I think he did it for the money or someone talked him into it. I mean, could the news reporters be taking his word out of context or is it really true? I'm just soooo confused. if your a news reporter reading this could tell me the truth? Thank you.
