Here's something where A Bush is No. 1

The George Bush Presidential Library Foundation is No 1 in top paid CEOs at Low-Rated Charities. Why am I not surprised?

Charity Navigator - 10 Highly Paid CEOs at Low-Rated Charities

"The leaders of these 10 organizations are taking high salaries at the expense of spending dollars on the charity's programs. Despite receiving more than $200,000 in annual pay, these CEOs run organizations that devote less than 60% of their budgets to their programs and services. That means that at least 40% of your dollars are going to such costs as fundraising and administration, including the salary of the CEO."

Then entire Bush family is just one big  Fail Factory.

Agent Orange goes into the NPR Memoryhole

This was shockingly bad "he said she said" journalism by NPR, even given its normal pro-corporate pro-Defense Department bias, NOT ONE mention that Agent Orange causes birth defects?

Monsanto Accused In Suit Tied To Agent Orange

Pathetic memory hole work.

Here's a very complete (and scary) list of the illnesses associated with Agent Orange recognized by the Veterans Administration, NONE MENTIONED BY NPR:

Hard to believe an NPR reporter could be that incompetent, it must be an intentional cover up.

I'm sure the fact the Monsanto, manufacture of Agent Orange, being a corporate sponsor of NPR had nothing to do with this whitewashing.

NPR Hot for Iraq 2.0 to Get Started

Looks like I'm not the only one getting tired of NPR's warmonger against Iran (aka Iraq 2.0):

"Evaluating reporting and commentary about Iran could be reduced to one simple rule: There is no evidence that Iran is working on a nuclear weapon. Statements that suggest otherwise are misleading. Reports that fail to point this out are doing readers/viewers/listeners a disservice.

That sounds simple enough. But don't tell that to the outlets that are being criticized over their Iran reporting.

Take NPR and PBS, both of which were singled out by the group Just Foreign Policy."

FAIR Blog » Blog Archive » PBS, NPR Try to Defend Iran Distortions

Scott Simon "The Bloody Quaker" and Steve Inskeep "Iraq Pomp-pomp Girl of the Year 2002" have been repeatly demonizing Iran for behave no different than the American trained, armed Saudis.

NPR Chief Faces a Problem With Diversity

Every major news program is hosted by a white maile with his side-kid the docile Black woman. No angry black people need apply.

"I only met Weiss once, about a decade ago, but I never forgot our conversation. We were chatting over hors d'oeuvres at a convention of the National Association of Black Journalists, the organization I helped create. "So what do you think of All Things Considered?" she asked, referring to the flagship NPR show she produced for many years. "I love the show," I admitted. "But why does it have to be so white?"

"But we have Juan Williams," she replied defensively. I almost choked on my stuffed mushroom. But since she was paying for the canapés, I politely let the discussion move on to other topics. How ironic that, a decade later, the symbol of her liberal credentials would cause her departure from the network."

Gary Knell: New NPR Chief Faces a Problem With Diversity

NPR Black Male Reporters just dropped by 50% (from 2 to 1)

"Alex P. Kellogg, one of NPR's two black male on-air journalists, has left the network after 14 months on the job, Kellogg told Journal-isms on Monday.

Kellogg's departure reaffirms that the network's decades-old issues regarding diversity have yet to be solved. They are often attributed to a corporate culture that outlasts management changes."

NPR Loses Another Black Male Voice

Santorum, Race and the Limits of Journalistic Fairness : NPR Ombudsman : NPR

The NPR Ombudsman upset that a NPR reporter actually reported on GOP race baiting.

They never would have had this problem if he had just stuck with "he said, she said" journalism.

The Ombot seems to have forgotten that Lil' Ricky initially admitted he did say the word "black people" and only changed his story later. Guess NPR is suppose to only report what the GOP candidates want them to said they said, NOT what they actually said, just like when it covers the Pentagon.

NPR flunks Econ 101, . . . again.

Dean Baker catches NPR reciting GOP talking point and misinformation on: Impact of the Minimum Wage on Employment and Low-Income Families | Beat the Press

"It asserted that many of the workers helped by the increase will be teenagers in middle income families who work for spending money. In fact, an analysis by Heather Boushey and John Schmitt of the last national law raising the minimum wage found that 70 percent of the people who would benefit were over the age of 20."
