NBC also probably saw the positive coverage she got whenever she stopped being overly racist and figured they could tap into that

Not realizing that the positive coverage was mostly "wow Fox news host can be semi-human when reflecting on her own self interest as a rich white woman"

This, plus she had tensions with the network, so they got caught up in the hype about "maybe she'll leave and it will be a big deal".

The dem might actually have a chance against Moore, but only if he advocates for the advantages of full communism and tells the black population of Alabama that they're getting pulled over 3 times a day solely because of classism

Bernie endorsed socialism didn't work in Montana, and the ultimate centrist couldn't win in Georgia suburbs.
There's no way gun-toting jesus isn't going to win Alabama.

saying NPR is conservative is p loving misleading and dumb. their news programs are just mealy mouthed "both sides" wastes of time, and their hosts are terrified of conflict

the only thing people can point to is a years old planet money show about disability checks that was only conservative in the sense that it was stupid

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.
I worked for an NPR member station until this past summer. The concept that providing information and trying not to be biased about the conclusions you draw from it make both sides hate you, it's just that conservatives are more allergic to facts and thus power the vast majority of complaints to stations. Like it or not, those do have an effect, so ~be the change you want to see in the world~

PS most cities' stations are actually more liberal, but it only shows in their selection of NPR programs and local content if they offer any. And you'd be dumb to exclude Morning Edition or Here & Now.

I mean compared to the current Dem strategy of getting horribly boring and dumb candidates I think there is enough merit in going for thenplot twist: you go for the openly racist fucktard that just happens to be to the left on one issue. it's not like you'll ever win Alabama on a straight dem platform so why not just give them what they want in exchange for one thing of yours.

it's all burning down anyways, might as well get creative.

you've just described the sort of bland conservatives that make up npr. they don't want progress, and don't want regression, they just stand for keeping us in this hellscape forever and their ideology is dying off one day at a time

there was just a guy in the HDTV thread sayin that the smooth motion is way better and that everyone who keeps it off is just being a luddite

you don't get paid poo poo for about your first two years in the military

I remember it being 900 - 1200 per month when i was in (depending on rank/tig)

you also have to buy all of your uniform stuff (it's automatically deducted in boot camp) so your 3 months at 900/mo of boot camp earns you just about $250.00 net

A more realistic solution would be to have to entire dem caucus savagely beat Roy Moore when he comes to Washington. There is even some precedent here.

you can get a 40 lb bag of potassium chloride in the water softener aisle of your local hardware store for around $30

i did not say that the pay was good, but it is factually higher than the federal minimum wage rate
