uncoolcentral's Journal: /. Editors Can Eat my Ass (NPR Funding Story)

I submitted a concise story to /. yesterday about NPR/PBS actually, really-o truly-o losing govt funding. Lo and behold, it was rejected. What made the front page today instead? A story about Batman's new suit. Thanks for the fluff.

The point of my post was not so much that our backwards-ass government is attempting to stifle public broadcasting, but that a decade of emails crying wolf quashed the efficacy of recent "Save Big Bird from the Chopping Block!" efforts. It doesn't help that NPR is still advertising that "Save NPR" emails are a hoax.

Lame.

"Save PBS!" campaigners could've sent corrections to all those urban legend sites. Slashdot could've published my story...

Whatever. If I'd ever had faith in humanity, this would've been (somewhere) on the laundry list of events causing me to lose it.

Duh

Dan, why did you ever *have* faith in humanity? I keep telling you, lower your expectations about people and they won't piss you off so much.

Oh, but I didn't.
