NHPR was pushing retraining for the jobless this morning. But if there are no jobs, all the training or retraining in the world won't help. We gotta do the hard stuff, create new jobs, foster new business formation, drive off the hordes of bloodsucking paper pushers and their job killing regulations, make taxes lighter and fairer. Keep the NIMBYs and BANANA's from stopping projects.
Liberal NHPR isn't going to understand any of this.

All the news that fits, we print
Good old unbiased NHPR this morning. Reporting on a strike by United Steel Workers against some Louisiana oil refineries. They did give a union spokesman air time. They did not give the issues of the strike, as in how big a raise is the union asking for and how much do its members make right now. Probably they are making pretty good money now, and are asking for a lot more, but revealing that might weaken the union's position with the public. There was a mention of safety issues, by which they might mean overtime, but again NHPR didn't give any numbers. Probably because their staff can't count beyond ten with out taking off their shoes.

Newsies cannot count
NHPR was giving yesterday's election results this morning. They reported on NH, VA, NYC, CO, WA elctions. Not once did they give a vote count. Win by a landslide, win by a hair, it's all the same to NHPR. Or, their staff has difficulty with numbers too large to count on their fingers.
Then, to distract us from the Obamacare meltdown, they offered a couple of blue meat stories. You know, you throw out red meat to excite conservatives, and blue meat to excite liberals. First was a hassle in upstate New York over opening town meeting with a prayer. Really important story there.
Then they had an election finance story. Some activist was urging the IRS to be even more difficult about granting tax exempt status to 501(c) yadda-yadda organizations lest they use the money for politicking. Real people are all ready outraged about IRS harassment of conservative organizations, and this idiot wants more of the same.
