NPR Catches Hell Over Easter Mistake
Is
NPR's newsroom a "rabble of pagans"? NPR's Two-Way Blog made an
embarrassing mistake in a story that ran on Good Friday; a headline on a
Washington Post column said the NPR report "mangles the definition of
Easter" — and that's an understatement. Some media commentators and a
few readers (including one whose complaint letter included the quote
above) cited the error as evidence of the lack of religious literacy in
the NPR newsroom. Here's how the NPR blog described Easter: "Easter —
the day celebrating the idea that Jesus did not die and go to hell or
purgatory or anywhere at all, but rather arose into heaven — is on
Sunday." Corrected, the piece now describes Easter, accurately, as "the

your tax dollars at work. But progressives rant and rave if you suggest their federal support should be cut
NPR...seriously? Does anyone even listen to that crap?

Three public radio shows get more listeners than Flush Limbaugh: Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Market Place.
Yeah, we do listen, and our numbers are growing.
Yeah, we act on what we hear.
Yeah, we are the ones in control.
Which scares the bejimmies out of you and your ilk.
There is not much NPR could do with that. I give NPR credit for at least writing about it.
The author of the piece skips over the obvious question: who in the world wrote such a poor sentence in the first place?

It costs an individual tax payer $1.37 a year. Such a burden. Maybe if each of us gave $2.00 a year, they could hire a religion editor.
Martin, that sentence sounds a lot like too many in the Roman Missal, I agree.

What an odious, offensive comparison! For shame!
Still better than the North Carolina radio station a few years back that reported on Easter morning that Christians were celebrating Christ’s “alleged resurrection.”
