On NPR, a concerned voice warned me, “This may be the first generation where our children will grow up to be sicker and have shorter lifespans than the generation before.”

“Members like you make this possible,” an anchor’s voice informed me, “We are grateful for your support. Please contribute online or call…”

Wait, what?

Oh, right, this must have been the end of a montage of recent stories meant to remind me of the high quality reporting NPR provides.
