NPR Gets It Right For A Change
Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 06:15AM
Sometimes NPR's web site aggregates links based on a topic, like Carol Shea-Porter's Chinese Connection, and then puts up a page and fills it with related content. I don't always notice but today, "Google Alerts" pulled in WMUR's fact check of NH Journal and dropped it in my In-Box. When I went there (here) I discovered that the lead piece was a post from Boo Hoo Hamster, followed below by a handful of "related" posts which appear to be collected at random based on a keyword search similar to the topic in the lead.
There's a link to an NPR story, a second BH post, something from Seacoast Online, a great post from RedState (Which does a fine job of pinning Carol to her original comment) and then a cross post of mine picked up from the Free State Blog which is actually irrelevant but web crawlers are not perfect.
Nice work, but that is not what I wanted to share. In the right column of the NPR page (which I saved) is a picture exactly like the one to the left, where Nancy Pelosi's face is shown with Carol Shea-Porter's name under it.
Never has NPR, to my knowledge, ever gotten something as right as this.
I would like to thank them for providing me with material (for Carol's likely stumble to lose reelection to her former seat in 2012) which clearly exemplifies one of many reasons why she should never be permitted to represent anyone in any position of power, ever again.

There's nothing "out of context" about it. Here is the statement she made:
They're in the halls of Congress everywhere, and it means, for example, that you sit on a committee and you say something about concern about Chinese influence or something, you don't even know if in the next election, somehow or another, THEY manage to send some money to some group that now doesn't even have to say where they got it.
Who exactly is the "they" she refers to at the end there where I put it in all caps? Easy answer there since the first statement clarifies it. She mentions "Chinese influence".
Democrats can try to spin that any way they want but her statement is what it is.
Personally given her long history of saying stupid things, like her comment that the government does a lot of things not in the Constitution and claiming that's ok or her having people arrested for letters she disliked the content of, this is just a drop in the bucket of her poor record.
