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.
