They certainly clarified Juan WIlliams’ role with NPR, didn’t they?

"And there are times in our history when you might be disappointed if I didn't take a position like that"

With these people, it's always 1968.

"... "Here is my basic approach to life," Roberts continued. "I am a totally unpartisan human being...."

That is not an "approach to life".

It is a personal opinion, and is by all metrics, false.

I hope all these old commies die cold and alone, of hunger.

It isn’t just NPR. Nearly all federal government employees donate ONLY to the democrat party.

A lot of agencies need to be shut down and abolished forever.

Trump’s criticism of the political establishment has at times appeared to incite violence and racial tensions.

...

Nobody has incited violence and increased racial tensions more than Obama, yet NPR and Cokie have nothing to say about that.

Anarchists, Leftists, and black racists are using violence and illegal behavior to suppress Trump’s free speech, yet NPR and Cokie are blaming Trump.

Translation: Cokie was off her meds when she said that. Stronger seditives will be used next time.

I watched cokie be 4ude to trump and ask a rude question of him. She was on a panel, perhaps a post debate panel. It was recent. Seriously, she leaned forward and her eyes and voice dripped hatred. Trump commented that it was a very nasty question, which it was, and went on to politely answer it. She was unhinged, and it was clear she despised trump. Trump is no plant. They really hate him.

Cokie Roberts - daughter of ambassador and long-time Democratic Congresswoman from Louisiana Lindy Boggs and of Hale Boggs, also a Democratic Congressman from Louisiana.

He was Majority Leader of the House of Representatives and a member of the Warren Commission. He was lost on a plane which disappeared over Alaska on October 16, 1972.

Sister, Barbara Boggs Sigmund, was mayor of Princeton, New Jersey and a candidate for U.S. Senate from New Jersey. Her late brother Tommy Boggs was a prominent Washington, D.C. attorney and lobbyist.

The only thing I’ve heard out of Cokie roberts in 30 years that was remotely on target was her candid on camera admission that Polanski was a pedophile who should be in jail.

Yep. Thanks. You are correct. Entirely off the wall question. Not a shred of evidence offered.

She was seriously bitter and spiteful.

Add NPR to the list of items to cut to save money as the nation sinks in debt, and I don’t care how small the amount is. This has been a Leftist employment racket from its beginning.

“I am a totally unpartisan human being. ..”

Can ANYONE believe that? Her father and mother were both Democrat Members of Congress. Her brother is known to donate a huge amount to the DNC, unsolicited, on the first of every year. Her husband is far to the left as a ‘journalist.’ But SHE, dear Cokie, surrounded as she is and has been her entire life by Democrat partisans, is totally unpartisan. Uh huh.

As Oreskes has noted, the news media continue to wrestle with how to respond to Trump's spectacular rise. Trump's criticism of the political establishment has at times appeared to incite violence and racial tensions.

Yes, the totally unbiased NPR has to "wrestle" with Trump's rise, but Obama's rise was totally A-OK.

Oh, and of course, Trump's a violent racist, but that's a purely objective, real "news" propagandist opinion.
