NPR: Change the staff or shut the operation down
NPR News this morning | 13 November 2016 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Posted on 11/13/2016 6:27:13 AM PST by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin

Mr. Trump, please, do something about NPR (National Public Radio) upon taking office. That is one media outlet that can be changed or shut down. This morning I listened to their propaganda and they were talking about some girl who had allegedly been mistreated at school after the election. She and a boy had heated discussions prior to the election and he said something after the election that offended her.

They used that incident as a platform to insinuate that Trump supporters all over the nation were persecuting Clinton supporters...when in reality, the exact opposite is true. Please do something about changing out the entire staff at NPR or shutting it down. We didn't vote for you to be harassed day in and day out by the opposition. All of this needs to stop now. We are not going to tolerate it.

Republicans and Trump, get a backbone and shut this stuff down. Come out and publicly call for people to settle down and go back home and quit harassing people who voted for Trump. We voted for change and we intend to get change. So change what you can as quickly as you can. And, if you can't change your friends, CHANGE your friends!!!

You’d be asking for a firestorm with heavy handed tactics. OTH, they could be subjected to audits, somewhat like what Newsbusters does “91% of Media stories hostile to Trump” that ratchet their fundings. There is no reason for the taxpayers to support an unfair media operation trying to do 31 states wrong.

Don’t apologize. We need to go on the offensive. We have been too passive for too long.

I have always considered the neutralization of NPR’s bias to be a benchmark of true change.

Reminds me of the conservative preamble to every discussion, “Now, I respect their right to protest, but...”

Getting real tired of it. They don’t respect one damn thing about us.

This guy is right. Democrats are mean. They will boycott your business. They will make sure that nobody associates with you. You will not be promoted or asked to join or invited. Its a mean crowd. And they say its ok because Republicans are mean. And they get that by finding one case somewhere and exploiting it as though it happens in every neighborhood every day in this country. NPR is nothing but well produced soft propaganda.

It is even worse than you've portrayed and I've suffered it for over 30 years. Many of us have. And, we want change and we want it now.

No need to shut it down. Just make it private. No more taxpayer subsidy. C-SPAN makes it on its own, PBS and NPR can too.

I am white. My white leftwinger friends make it out to be the "crime of the century" that I have the audacity to be a Caucasian person.
It is growing tiresome, to say the least. Do they want us all to get melanindectomy procedures? Should we all get tanning beds and use them 10 hours per day so we can all have a darker complexion?

Thought: Time to set up a separate broadcast operation highlighting freedom, democratic and free-market values and opposing the Marxist doctrines that have taken over at NPR.

Funds could be split with NPR.

They can remain, as long as no taxpayer money goes to them.
