GOP: EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, NPR Is Funded by the GOVERNMENT(edited)

Re: GOP Calls EMERGENCY Meeting To Defund NPR (Even Though The Video Has Been Debunke

For what? Linking the word "liberal" to NPR? Notice I said "NPR is to liberal media". I didn't state that NPR was a news source exclusively tailor to a liberal listening audience. There is a difference, i.e., FoxNews and most talk radio shows today especially here in the South.

IMO, except for FoxNews, all news from mainstream media sources is liberal. It has to be in order to appear as neutral and non-bias as possible. Sure, an article will put a political slant here or there, but that has more to do with the writter/editor not necessarily the media source itself.

To put it simple, I find NPR's "All Things Considered" to be the most informative news segments on radio today. If I really want to know the nuts and bolts of a news story, get deep inside the issues, the best source for such non-bias, straigh-forward news, IMHO, is NPR, bar-none!

Still, I thank you, Barbbtx for keeping mum on the GOP's true objective when it comes to NPR. The fact that you nor any other Republican/Conservative have argued against my accessment on the matter just illustrates my point clearly.

Are you saying that NPR is not liberal?

The truth from a GOP member.

Here is Congressman Amash’s explanation for voting “present” « Gretawire

H R 1076 does not actually save taxpayer dollars; it merely blocks CPB from exercising its discretion to send funding to NPR. The funds CPB does not send to NPR under the bill are returned to CPB to be spent subsidizing other private radio producers

It is always good to expose the GOP for their lies and hypocrisy. Their whole argument was to save money, and guess what... it saves NOTHING.

Juan Williams was an NPR commentator. According to NPR, he violated his contract for saying what he said on FOX. That's not a first amendment issue. Try again. But thanks for showing what the GOP's beef with NPR is really about. It's not about the budget, it's about ideology.

1. Ahhh... it seems that clause only applies to the lone Conservative on NPR, for Nina Tottenberg and her ilk... other rules apply.

2. Let me correct your last line: "It's about tax dollars funding an ideology." There is no need for a government funded NPR. The fact there is no need for government funded NPR today reveals the problem we face with Democrats. They don't want to cut even the most obvious elements of waste.
