Boy howdy, it's tough being a hometown paper these days. If you're not being bought up by some staff-cutting, profit-mongering non-local corporation, your hometown may still resent you for the lack of media competition, for playing favorites, or for being too rightwing, too leftwing or hardly leftwing enough. Granted, life is rarely fair - that's life. But the outside world is helping put all this into perspective. On Wednesday and Thursday's [NPR "Morning Edition,"][1] The World Company was the subject of a two-part look into media innovation. Take a listen to these mp3 versions of the broadcasts: [Part 1][2] [aired 4/13] [Part 2][3] [aired 4/14] [1]: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4597203 [2]: http://media.ljworld.com/audio/2005/04/12/npr_day1.mp3 [3]: http://media.ljworld.com/audio/2005/04/12/npr_day2.mp3

Why the fuck did they have to talk with Asshat Dave from Miltons?

I'd love to hear the rest of Tim Miller's interview. Either he was really self-censoring his Simons-crowd conspiracy schpeel for the sake of NPR, or the reporter selected from his most benign comments. That was his shot to take Plumber's Friend to a national audience and it was virtually toothless!
