Post by dsi1Post by gmPost by dsi1We called her Marianne Unfaithfull. I liked her vocal cords and singing
after she went through some hard times/luck/heron. It was a hell of a
comeback.
"... she went through some hard times/luck/heron..."
'Heron" - is this reference to a boid, or to Greek mythology...???
"Heron - any of various long-necked and long-legged wading birds (family
Ardeidae) with a long tapering bill, large wings, and soft plumage..."
"Heron was a child of Zeus born out of wedlock. His mother was a human
queen named Electra and his father was Zeus the God of Thunder. Now due
to Zeus's constant infidelity, he was forced to hide Heron and his
mother Electra away from Olympus so Zeus's real wife Hera wouldn't kill
them...."

Yes, that's it.
I haven't watched PBS or listened to NPR for many years due to their
blatant left-wing slant...
I don't want them to have a penny of my tax money...
NATIONAL REVIEW:
FCC Chair Orders NPR, PBS Investigation That Could Undermine Case for
Public Funding
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/fcc-chair-orders-npr-pbs-investigation-that-could-undermine-case-for-public-funding/
"The new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission is ordering
an investigation into whether NPR and PBS violated government rules by
recognizing financial sponsors on the air — a breach that could provide
justification for lawmakers to end public funding for the stations...
Chairman Brendan Carr wrote in a letter to NPR and PBS on Wednesday that
the stations operate as noncommercial broadcast organizations, but that
they may be airing “announcements that cross the line into prohibited
commercial advertisements.”...
“To the extent that these taxpayer dollars are being used to support a
for-profit endeavor or an entity that is airing commercial
advertisements, then that would further undermine any case for
continuing to fund NPR and PBS with taxpayer dollars,” Carr wrote...
National Review‘s editors called last year to defund NPR, saying it has
“every right to operate as a left-wing propaganda outlet masquerading as
a legitimate news organization. But it is not entitled to pursue this
goal with taxpayer money.”...
The editorial was published in response to an essay from Uri Berliner,
an NPR veteran of 25 years, who wrote an essay about the network’s
evolution from having a liberal bent to having an outright ideological
bias for the Free Press on his way out the door...
He noted several incidents of bias, including with its coverage of the
Russian-collusion story — and later silence on the Mueller report’s
conclusion that there was no collusion — alongside its refusal to cover
the Hunter Biden laptop story or the Covid lab leak theory in 2020...
Furthermore, NPR, like other institutions, was inspired to impose a DEI
framework organization-wide after the racial reckoning of 2020. “Race
and identity became paramount in nearly every aspect of the workplace,”
Berliner recounted..."
