All of the controversy surrounding reporter Juan Williams’ inexcusable firing from NPR reminds me of an experience I had with the network a few years ago.
An NPR reporter was doing a story on what provokes people to switch from voting for candidates in the political party of their parents to voting for candidates in a different party.

We sat at the dining room table as I explained how I had not abandoned the political party of my parents, but that it had abandoned me. I also explained how that decision for me was a personal one, spurred largely by the party’s acceptance of abortion, and I shared how I, myself, had been threatened in the womb by abortion, and how I could not in good conscience support a political party that stood in opposition to my own existence.

come January they’ll be All Pledge Drive All The Time, cause they darn sure ain’t gettin’ another dime of our tax money.
It is nice to see young people so much feeding on the propoganda of the pubs to have such a good opinion of what direction the country is going to take. I regret that I have to bring you down to earth.....there is one destination, and that is socialismn, and there are 2 roads to take to get there...the democrat road, which is considered the highway, or the republican road, which is the slow road, and will get you there eventually...either road you choose, the destination is still the same....time is now to rid ourselves of “experienced” politicians, and replace them with what our founders visioned... a farmer or businessman that goes to washington, does the job, and goes home to their farm or business, and allows the next one to go to washington and do the job again.....
If they actually defund NPR and CPB, I’ll send you $10. Keep this post.
