As a long time NPR listener, I've got to say, that NPR is too inept to do their job correctly as propagandists. They really can't be the worst. They mostly rely on how much smarter and more intellectual they are than the rest of you. The tote bag gives us magic powers of intellectual superiority that you wouldn't understand.

When you're that full of yourself, and when your navel gazing that hard, it becomes really hard to propagandize the rest of the world.
