NPR: After Pollak, No More Live Interviews for Conservatives
Breitbart ^
| 19 Nov 2016

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, following an interview Nov. 16 with Breitbart News Joel B. Pollak.
Pollak, who serves as Breitbarts Senior Editor-at-Large and In-house Counsel, defended its Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon from false and defamatory claims of antisemitism and white nationalism. He also turned the tables, pointing out that NPR has racist programming, including a story that called the 2016 election results nostalgia for a whiter America.

NPR has really abused its position and although they have done some great work, the marxist propaganda will not stop until they face consequences.
The right wing can run NPR even better than these communist fossils, and with no taxpayer assistance.

I know we’ve been through this before but it’s time to stop all funding to the communist propaganda NPR. Let them raise their own money. Americans should not be forced to fund their commie bull****.

Everyone of their announcers sound like they are weary no pajamas. Except Ira Glass. He is wearing Dr. Dentons.

NPR used to have a program called All Things Considered. It was a misnomer akin to the Affordable Care Act, The Environmental Protection Agency and The Legal Services Corporation. These agencies exist to keep themselves in existence, ad. Infinitum. they have no reason to serve as their name implies, only to keep themselves employed. Legal Services actually sued Congress to keep its taxpayer funding flowing. ABOLISH TKEM ALL!!!!! TIME TO DRAIN THE SWAMPNOW!!!!!

He doesn’t have the authority to do that. He’s a president, not a dictator.

PBS has a cringe-worthy commercial which includes a black couple cozying up on the couch watching a black and white film of a Martin Luther King rally. The Pandering Broadcasting Service.

Withe advent of networks programming and literally 100’s of new channels dedicated nearly everything under the sun, Why does NPR even exist? Any justification for their existence pretty much evaporated around 1980. Seriously.
