NPR, which gave
a near-perfect score to Teddy,
wastes our time telling us a computer program can predict pop hits. Feed it "The Man I Love" and no doubt it will score it a 1. But NPR will have wasted our time, and whatever its past near-perfect score, we give it a -20.
And why is it every time I think this network I think that klutzy old theme for
All Things Considered that vanished 27 years ago? (You know, "
klink-klink klink-klink klink-klink klink-klink....") For corniness that scores a 9.3.
(Via the usual AHTSJournal, which scores -18)
