How Far Left do You Have to Be...

to find an NPR reporter "threatening"?

Given the common belief that NPR is solidly left, I just found it funny that the Baltimore mayor found one of their reporters to be "threatening" and banned him from her weekly press conferences. When you're afraid of a mild-mannered NPR reporter, you're pegging the lefty meter.

"uncle joe" is alive?

Generally speaking, to be "threatening" and from the MSM or Leftist establishment, I think one needs to either ask questions, or make statements that betray brief flashes of intellectual honesty.

Like Juan Williams.

Did he look like this guy?

Before I even got to this part I guessed that he probably asked her a question she didn't want to answer. And then ...

Burns suspects his ban is due to his pressing her on a question about policy changes in the Baltimore Police Department. Suspicion will have to do, because the mayor’s office isn’t talking, telling the Baltimore Brew, “We will not be making any further comment on Kenneth Burns.”

I also find it amusing that an NPR reporter is named Ken Burns. (I assume it's not the same guy as the PBS documentary maker.)

Is he related to Montgomery Burns?
