Rudin's full-180 earned warm praise from NPR ombudsman Alicia Shepard. "While it was a dumb thing to say, I applaud Rudin for quickly apologizing," Shepard wrote. "Journalists are going to make mistakes -- not intentionally but they will happen. Acknowledging them goes a long way to maintaining credibility." Rudin's apology also earned him in excess of 100 overwhelmingly critical comments on his blog. It will be interesting to see what reaction, if any, he has tomorrow. A sample: This infamous cracking down at NPR is just another signal of a pathetic and submissive media. We always knew NPR is radio by liberals for liberals but now all pretention at National Pretentionous Radio is gone. You are offically state sponsored radio and government paid employees in every way. If anyone wants to hear the unvarnished truth about our President and his administarion, NPR is the very last place to go. Obama does not have to resort to Nixonion tactics since the submissive media including NPR is more than willing to do his bidding with devotion and reverence without being ordered to bow. npr.org
