I was in my Facebook feed when I saw an article from NPR about an ESPN correspondent that had a rant against the company that towed her car. It's pretty scathing stuff, and there's no excusing the amount of asshole-ishness on display.

Still, I couldn't help but ask myself, "why is this a short little blip on NPR? Surely, this is something I would expect to see from TMZ." The title was literally something akin to "ESPN anchor rants..." Or something like that.

I made a comment akin to:

What are you doing NPR? Why?? I've been a fan my entire adult life, why go the YMZ route?

Well, it was amazing the amount of people that came out to defend this piece of shit, little, link-baity pile of garbage. People blindly love things and public radio is one of them.

Am I cynical? Cause aside from the music of the Beatles, and the cuteness and abilities of my children, there's nothing I blindly agree with.

But people love their NPR and how dare you suggest it's fishing for page views?!!

BY THE WAY, NPR IS ABSOLUTELY FISHING FOR PAGE VIEWS
