After suffering through some incredibly bad pr following their firing of public radio icon, Bob Edwards, NPR brass is apparently still tone deaf. It recently barred NPR's Scott Simon from flogging his new book on Edwards' XM radio show. Apparently a rule, prohibiting NPR people from appearing on a "competing" programs, was promulgated by NPR just for the occasion. Brilliant, folks. Just brilliant. Obviously you are spending all of Joan Kroc's money on stupid pills. |

I hadn't heard of the Fundamentalist L.D.S. sect until All Things Considered did a detailed story on it Tuesday afternoon. (Part 2 is airing right now, as I write this.)
Then imagine my surprise to turn on Dr. Phil that evening, and see him talking to people who ran away from the very same sect! Complete with video, apparently from a Phoenix TV station!
Is this a wild coincidence? Or what??
