With the firing of Juan Williams, many calls to de-fund Public Broadcasting. The dirty secret is many GOP support it. For example: Mike Castle (R-DE) Mike McCaul (R-TX) Are co-chairs of the Public Broadcasting caucus. A number of other republicans are on the list.

[Freddd]

Out of all those listed, unless I miscounted, I count 10...out of that list. How old is the list? And shouldn’t it be, the caucus has members from both parties?

[goodnesswins]

Is there a FRIKKEN “Caucus” for EVERY organization in the US????? No wonder Congress doesn’t have time to read the bills...

[bigbob]

looks like we’ve finally found something that is shovel ready!

[DanielRedfoot]

I haven’t seen that many “D”s since they released Joe Biden’s college transcripts

[rockinqsranch]

The firing of Juan Williams by NPR isn’t going to motivate the masses to rise up, and demand Congress chuck NPR, or CPB. Thanks to “Big Bird” most folks are like junkies that still in their adulthood eat at McDee’s, and claim to like it.

It will take something more than Juan Williams getting fired to get rid of that which should have never been in the first place, but is...CPB/NPR.

[get'emall]

I counted 13... but I’m into the Maker’s...

Stranger things have happend. Who would have thought that it would have had legs here on FR for so long?

And who was Archduke Ferdinand, anyway? The trigger point for WWI?

History and reality are very, very messy.

Don't expect it to make sense.

Newt got slapper around pretty hard when he tried to kill Big Bird. The effort has to be a starve the beast slowly philosophy. Zero increase every year. Try and stay below the radar screen of the left.

[Red_Devil 232]

Gooooood stuff that!

[BigSkyFreeper]

This looks like a roll call at a Democrat caucus lunch.

Almost 20,000 posts on NPR about this. 80-90% are disgusted with NPR...It’s hard to say if that translates into legislative will/action. Doubt it, but who knows if will be a sore spot next year as the committee takes up appropriations.

[upsdriver]

I disagree. The country is in the mood to trim the size of government. A good case can be made to end the subsidy to the Corp. for Public Broadcasting. We have to make that case and then not back down.

[JRandomFreeper]

That assumes that there is a committee to meet next year. Or a congress.

We're working down to the basics here, so everything is up for grabs.

And incumbents that want to keep the current form of government better purchase a clue.

Because the current form isn't a given, just because it's been there for a hundred or two years.

Can you direct me to the place that has the comments you mention?

I am working on an article for the paper I write a blog for, and it would be great to quote some leftists who are fed up with the lefty status quo at NPR.
