NPR Clarifies Cokie Roberts' Role After Anti-Trump Column

NPR ^ | March 14, 2016 | David Folkenflik

[Drango]

It's not a free press when the government pays for it. And this is not a clarification. DEFUND NPR

[BlackAdderess]

Would that be the rational, or rationalizing branch of the GOP?

[Carl Vehse]

Cokie Roberts has the title of Fifth-column Leftist Mediawhore.

[Jeff Head]

So, now Cokie Roberts is lecturing the rest of us on who is and who is not qualified to be President?

Sorry Cokie...I can read plain English and I will trust in the Constitution. Not you.

Defund NPR.

[rlmorel]

Yep. And by the way, is this any kind of surprise to anyone???

This moonbat has been involved in doing just this for years, and nobody has ever said boo to her.

It grates on me that my tax money supports these people.

[MichaelCorleone]

Roberts, like George Will, have spent far too much time inside the Beltway.

She doesn’t think the reputation has been soiled over the past 15 years? We are now either despised or mocked.

Roberts need to take off her Rove-colored glasses and step out into the real world.

“NPR has a policy forbidding its journalists from taking public stances on political affairs. “

Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha

"I am very, very, very interested in civility."

F**k civility Cupcake. This is a cultural war.

[mazda77]

Just like Obama on not enforcing the laws, monkey see, monkey do. If a policy is not enforced . . . .

[rlmorel]

"[Trump] is one of the least qualified candidates ever to make a serious run for the presidency," Roberts wrote late last month in a syndicated column with her husband, the journalist Steven Roberts. "If he is nominated by a major party — let alone elected — the reputation of the United States would suffer a devastating blow around the world...."

And Obunghole was one of the most qualified, eh?

How I detest and despise liberals.

[Fireone]

Between NPR speaking on behalf of leftist politics, and PBS preaching endlessly about the climate change fallacy, these arms of the DNC need to be starved, until they fail on their own.

[2banana]

How many billions of dollars of Tax Payer money has the uber left-wing NPR received over the decades?

DEFUND IT.

[pepsionice]

I’d like to see two things done with NPR. First, mandate they have to run classical music, jazz and opera at least twelve hours a day. Second, I’d like to see the whole operation moved out DC, and to some town like Sarasota, Florida.

I think that the bulk of journalists would quit if the move was mandated by Congress, and maybe they could restart with just some young crowd with no real focus.

[Jeff Head]

NPR and PBS would go out of business within six months if they did not get out tax monies.

They could never compete in the free market and that tells you all you need to know.

The Libs/Progressives, and more and more the GOPe use them as outlets to publish propaganda that would never fly in the free market.

The few shows that I do like that appear on PBS can simply be had online at their own sites.

DEFUND NPR and PBS.

[silverleaf]

So their “ journalists” can’t express private views but their “commentators “ can!

Got it!

[silverleaf]

That would be the irrational rationalizing branch of anything

[Drango]

NPR has a policy forbidding its journalists from taking public stances on political affairs.

Today is March 14th ... April 1st is still a couple of weeks away.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s time to defund that trash.
