Oh NPR, I am so disappointed in you. I just read the domino effect that was created by your inaccurate/premature reporting of the death of Gabbi Giffords. I know it is the "I want it yesterday" age, but I do trust serious journalists to get things right. It was a rollercoaster for me just trying to wade through the FB posts and tweets and wonder, did she die, is she alive? Imagine how terrible that would be for her family. Tsk, tsk NPR. I have to be tough on you because if it were Fox News I would skewer them and I need to combat becoming an extremist, myself. Liberal extremism isn't any less terrible than Conservative extremism (I just tend to like liberals more and give them a pass). NO free passes. I find it both amazing and dumbfounding that on a daily basis I feel that the best "journalism" is coming from John Stewart...yes, THAT John Stewart, a comedian on Comedy Central. Tim Russert, I miss you, terribly.
