National Public Radio (NPR) regrets a live interview with a Republican lawmaker who called out Democrats and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, which is overseeing investigations against President Donald Trump, for what he called a "political impeachment." NPR sent out its public editor, Elizabeth Jensen, to defend the taxpayer-funded, left-wing media outlet for it[s] "journalistically strong" coverage of the impeachment effort after its supporters criticized an interview with Rep.

Jensen goes on to blame the fact that it was a live interview and therefore they couldn't just cut Banks' comments (where he attempted to correct the interviewer for misquoting the transcript).

Trump should use this excuse to cut all funding for NPR. They are not serving the public any more, just another partisan hack group.

Recently heard NPR ranting about some tenuous connection between the NRA and Russia. They sounded more like an unhinged liberal loony with a blue-colored check mark on Twitter than a respectable news outlet.

The NPR guy was probably quoting the lies that Schiff spoke in Congress. At the end of the misquote, NPR guy could say, "as spoken by Representative Schiff" so that legally his statement was not a lie. This evil goes on all day, every day from the propaganda media.

Giuliani said in an interview with Martha McCallum that Trump will be suing a whole bunch of media. I hope he makes billions from these commie clowns. Then he can defund them.

I guess now that Russia’s dead to them, the rump Soviet really needs a mouthpiece because it sure is like communists have taken over the VOA and are beaming it back at the USA.

Haven’t watched National People’s Radio for a long time. Last thing worth listening to was Baxter Black, Cowboy Poet, but assume he got the boot long ago. Stopped listening when it adopted the All Gay, All The Time format. I find men putting on exaggerated homosexual voices extremely irritating.

They’ve been a propaganda arm of the DNC for 50 years, at least.

National Propaganda Radio is what I’ve called them since they tagged Pope Saint John Paul the Great “obstructionist” for opposing abortion. I miss the classical music, though.
