This from Nina Totenberg, the one who works for the somewhat government-subsidized Public Broadcasting Corporation. (via Daily Caller)

"....But, it does show you when politicians and the news media are completely intertwined, not just get in bed together because they’ve always been in bed together a little bit, but their ownership is intertwined with the power of the press, it can get to be a very dangerous proposition, reading how frightened the leaders were to even challenge Murdoch."

You can't make this up folks. Bill Cosby isn't this funny.

Just in case you've forgotten the last time Tottenburg was talked about on FR, Krauthammer Asks Totenberg:'Why Does NPR Have to Live on the Tit of the State?'

[unkus]

Totenberg is a vile creature.

[smokingfrog]

I definitely would not get into bed with her!

[DBrow]

It was Nina who said NPR was never going to be objective and fair again because there was a Republican on the board of directors. Well, there goes diversity and fairness if one of THEM is allowed in!

[Enchante]

she’s the lead propagandist for publicly funded media in the USA and she’s criticizing the relationship between UK pols and Murdoch???

she earns her living with the decisions and budgets of US pols and she doesn’t think that she’s “in bed with” them???

[unkus]

I’d lock the door when I saw her coming.

Projection. What the liberals are actually doing, is what they believe everyone else is doing to them.

CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, CPB, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the LA Times."

There, Nina. I helped a little with your grammar and punctuation.

I'm helpful like that.

Nina is starting to smell kind of skunky...
She has already skunked up NPR.. maybe I’m too close..

[OrangeHoof]

So, isn’t this another way of saying the media are f-—ing whores, Nina? Of course, we already knew this.

Looks to me like she is running out of excuses for Obama and Liberalism.

If journalism is unified, it is either bound to control the government - or it will be unified by government control of it. If journalism is unified, journalism will always define wisdom in terms of the interests of journalism. This is what we observe, and have seen all our lives.

Journalism doesn't explicitly call itself wise, of course - but it certainly does call itself "objective" - and that is pretty much the same thing. When they boast of their objectivity, they mean to imply their wisdom. And yet claiming wisdom is, as the ancient Greeks knew, sophistry.

[Atlantan]

Can’t stand the sound of her voice, but that goes for everyone on NPR.

[elcid1970]

Her name in German means “Death Mountain”.

Looks the part, IMO.

[MikeSteelBe]

She’s right about the danger of a government-media conspiracy, and history shows that to be true.

The Nazi propaganda media protected racist minorities (nazis) and demonized Jews.

America’s propaganda media protects racist minorities (LaRaza, NBP) and demonizes Christians/conservatives/gun owners.

Myopic Beeeyotch.
