Our tax dollars at work. Silencing religion just took another step.

Beyond time to get rid of NPR, a leftist group of misfits.

NPR aired Christian shows???? That is news to me...perhaps when Republicans get back in power they will finally have the courage to remove tax payer funding to this small club of anti American leftist elitists.

Posted To NPR MGMT on May 2nd...

I write in opposition to your May 1st decision to label any Christian content as sectarian, thus purging free speech from your line-up…this is anti-intellectual on the part of NPR.

The NPR self-described offering provides: “Each NPR Member Station serves local listeners with a distinctive combination of national and local programming”. This is false. If you are going to be “bold” by denying Christian contributions then restate yourself by announcing that “NPR serves listeners with a distinctive combination of programming that NPR deems fit for public consumption”.

This would be in-line with Obama’s worldview that the Internet is to be dominated by the government to ensure we (i.e. U.S. Citizens) are one with Obama’s point of view.

In view of this be aware that “media reports and press stories were an essential dimension of Hitler’s popular dictatorship” (Gellately, 2002). The question becomes…are you serving true journalist integrity by allowing free speech or are you a pawn in the present administration to bolster the lie that the government knows what is best for individuals, rather than the individual.

A wise leader once said, “The time is now near at hand which most probably will determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves”. The man’s name was George Washington.

Is NPR freeing Americans, or are your working to enslave us with lies.

NPR needs to go away, or at least raise their own operating funds. It’s a waste of taxpayer dollars.

>>as opposed to rigidly adhering to any single political or religious point of view.

So when will they stop running Stale Air with Terry

""NPR Member Stations shall provide ONLY [emphasis added] nonsectarian, non-political"

Does this mean they are shutting down The McLaughlin Group? I'm fine with that one.. Eleanor (ARRRRGGGGGHHH!) Can't stand that woman (thing)!

In 1985, National Public Radio (NPR) adopted a policy stating that member stations had to provide "nonsectarian, non-political, noncommercial" educational programming. But in February 2009, the wording was changed to say: "NPR Member Stations shall provide ONLY [emphasis added] nonsectarian, non-political, noncommercial educational content on all broadcast channel(s) and related media distribution platforms such as member partners that use the NPR member brands." The rule, which takes effect May 1, means that any NPR stations carrying religious programming must cease and desist that programming as of that date.
By a weird coincidence, I support a 100 per cent decrease in the amount of government financial support for NPR, PBS, and so-called "arts" organizations.

I admit, I listen to NPR, but only one hour on Saturdays to hear "Car Talk"

I will occasionaly tune in some news to show my children what bias in the media is all about

Does anyone over the age of 14 actually listen to NPR?

All the progressives in our land are clueless as to the end result of silencing and minimizing the Christian culture, ushering in sharia law.

So, I assume that a lot of stations will be dropping NPR...

I don't listen to NPR that much, but when there is a program with some religious content, it always seems to be liberal anyway. Maybe there are some local stations with decent religious programming but I haven't heard of any.

Isn't public radio supposed to be diverse and inclusive?
