NPR is steaming down the “condescending” path now too, with their daily headlines of the form “XYZ, what you need to know” and “what to know about ABC” … as in (today) “What to know as jury selection begins …” . I’m just like, “FU NPR, I don’t need you to dictate to me the things that are important or not important to me, I’ll make that call, your job is simply to fill in the blanks when and if asked, no more and no less.”
That is annoying as hell.
Bad site, no clicks.
