The Left's panic concerning the defunding of NPR has become quite comical in recent days.
Take for example Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) who took to the House floor Thursday and said, "If my friends on the other side of the aisle want to strip funding from NPR because they believe -- wrongly, in my view -- that NPR is biased, then we should be given the same opportunity" and prevent taxpayer dollars from being used for advertising "on the partisan political platform of Fox News" (video follows with commentary):
SNIP
According to FoxNews.com:
McGovern cited a Rand Study that found the federal government subsidizes media companies all the time and that the Pentagon alone spent more than $600 million in advertising in 2007.
McGovern did not cite any studies or statistics on how much federal advertising money is spent on Fox News. He did not return requests for comment submitted by FoxNews.com.
Of course it’s only more of the ‘attack FOX’ thingy, even infiltrate conservative blogs...

Goofball Idiot Moron Braindead McGovern concludes that “advertising” is government “funding”??
There should be a law against inbreds running for elective office.
Actually he can write a bill (not the one he has here) that says “no federal advertising dollars to any network that is not fair and unbiased”, if he spells out just what is fair, what is biased, and what is not, with objective tests and standards.
That would hurt the networks he likes, though. Plus, it would be work to prepare such a bill, and who in the House actually work? Most bills are written by outside activist groups and ported into Congress (if the House did not read Obamacare, they sure as shinola didn’t write it).
His actions are just for show, like the House voting to defund NPR. Sure, Obama would sign that the minute it gets through the Senate!
This is all theater.
The Nation is headed for a split.
They just don’t like NASCAR people.
De-fund them both genius. It’s a win-win. LOL
As I wrote on another thread about this: “Typical Leftist moron McGovern. The point isn’t advertising dollars. The point is subsidizing dollars.
BIG DIFFERENCE.”
Oh Good Lord - not Jim McGovern again ..... another intellectual flatliner from MA.
Hey do it! You guys defund Fox News and we’ll defund NPR, fair’s fair ;-)
It cost 600,000 people last time. This time will be worse, when the govt shuts off televised sports and welfare checks and blames the extremist insurgents.
The more the Flee Party opens their mouths the more imbecilic they are known.
If every 3 week bill omits NPR they are de-funded. Let the rats keep it up.
DUmmies vs. Smarties.
Is this the same Congressman that questioned the General in a hearing about the possibility of the ‘island tipping over’ if we put too many men on it. This dummycrats seem to have the same IQ level. less than 60.
LOL!! The Democrat cockroaches are pooping themselves and scurrying for the corners because a popular network is shining the spotlight of truth on them. Gotta love it!
No, that was Hank Johnson, another Dem idiot from GA.
Maybe it was Guam. As you know our arm floats can only support so much.
