Ya, wouldn’t it be great if Trump would jettison NPR? Who would care?
MPR will limp along without federal funds. But, they are embedded in so many college and tiny radio stations I think it may be worth the money from having them go full Pravada when cut off.
PING!
(NPR says conservatives are banned from their tax payer funded network.)
That’s incorrect and not what the article stated...
What the article stated was conservatives are banned from being conservative on the tax-funded network by dis-allowing live interviews in order to be able to “contextualize” the story. IOW, they’re going all-out Orwellian to establish “newspeak” as the only acceptable expression on the network.
Classic bullies, NPR loves to dish it out, but just can’t bear taking it even in the slightest
No more funding for the Alt-Left and NPR/PBS!
You assume the Bully Pulpit has no weight of power to get anything done. You are not in the box you are taught you are in. Everything, and I mean everything, has been turned upside down as far as prevailing wisdom is concerned.
“National Public Radio ombudsman/public editor Elizabeth Jensen has recommended that the taxpayer-funded radio news service bar future live interviews of conservatives who may have controversial views,...”
Controversal views being defined as anything they dont agree with. This wont last long under a Trump Administration.
“NPR says conservatives are banned from their tax payer funded network.)
Thats incorrect and not what the article stated”
Of course NPR did not say that in those words.
NPR dishonestly pretends to be objective and to reflect all views.
But if you understand what is actually being said is that no opinion that deviates from the leftist disinformation party line will be accepted and must be “contextualized”.
In other words there must be no challenge to the leftist propaganda.
You must understand that their language is Orwellian and their methods are Stalinist.
National Progressive Radio.
Soros should be paying for it, not us.
A long time ago I liked Bob Edwards. On Fridays Mel Allen would call in to the show. But that was a long time ago... Diane Riehm, Tavis Smiley, Daniel Schorr when he was still alive... All insufferable! And ‘All Things Considered’ would more accurately be named ‘Most Things Ignored’.
I was listening to this on my drive in to work and cheering Pollak on! It was great! Inskeep is used to "conservatives" being simpering, mealy-mouthed wussies when he gets in their faces, not hit back and hit harder.
Does anyone have a link to this interview?
“Trump need to clean house at NPR (ad PBS). Dont defund it...just put conservatives in there to run it.”
HEAR HEAR!!!
Thanks. Found it.
