Did anyone hear the totally awesome NPR report on Ron Paul late this afternoon?
I listened to it on the way home and was totally impressed.
It had to last at least ten minutes (Edit. Sorry, Less than four minutes) and had one of his Iowa ad campaign commercials highlighted.

It was about 4:30 or so EST. (Friday, 12/9)

I'm going to try to find a recording or transcript that I can post here.

Stay tuned :)

Edit. Here's the link:

I listen to NPR whenever I'm driving (so quite a bit). Years ago they used to be decent, but now it's full of Paul Krugman clones when they talk about the economy, and I've heard them downplay Ron quite a bit.

I guess this should come as a surprise.

It surprised me.
I'll take it.

I think that they've realized this and are trying to balance it out. They seem to think they've invoked the wrath of conservatives. They recently had two surprisingly reverent and fair reports on Ayn Rand and F. A. Hayek.
