WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MY NPR?

Anybody notice how NPR has been on a down word trend for the last couple of years? First they began stripping away all there music programs. You could always count on heading out to lunch and hearing Radiohead, Johnny Cash, Steve Perry (maybe not) and a wide variety of other stuff. Now it's some stuffy English news program. In fact it's all news all the time now with the exception of Ed Love who I believe can only leave WDET through death. Watch your back Ed. Word is they have (or did) get rid of Liz Coplin who worked a graveyard shift on the weekends. Cause seriously it's Saturday night and I need to know what happened with the Dow Jones at 3am after eating my sober coney. Also they added a program that pops up far to often called Market Watch, what happened to your liberal slant??? Since when does NPR give a shit about the Stock Market?? at least enough to give it a couple half hour slots worth of time. I'd much rather they spend that time doing there people stories like about Jim Whogivesafuck and how he helps the enviorment by watching paint dry. The other thing is I'm not alone on this. NPR called up a coworker while on the job.

NPR: Would you like to make a donation?
Jon Doe: No, I stopped supporting you awhile ago.
NPR: Why's that sir?
Jon Doe: Ever since you trashed your music format I've no reason to listen to your station.
NPR: We'll let the folks in charge know how you feel.
Jon Doe: Yeah you do that.

Seriously does it get any worse than Detroit radio? NPR was the last station you could count on for variety and now that's dying off. The worst part of it is to even consider the thought of getting satellite radio....but why pay for something you never had to before. It didn't always suck. Let's hope this is all somehow part of the circle of life where the bad lion is in control of the pack and once the brave young cub returns to claim his rightful place as king all becomes right with the world. The circle can then be complete and there can be only one.....or something like that.
