When journalists do their "jobs" we should expect impartiality, ethics and integrity.

Ain't seen that in a while have we?

Are they talking about this:

Obama ‘threatens Fox News reporter’s career’
Reports ‘put broadcaster’s job in jeopardy’
Published: 01/21/2014 at 9:58 PM

“In this call, my friend told me that my colleague Jennifer Griffin, who was aggressively reporting on Benghazi, was wrong and that, as a favor to me, my friend in the administration was telling me so that I could tell Jennifer so that she did not ruin her career,” Van Susteren wrote.

You aren’t doing your job.

You are doing the DNC’s bidding.

Y’all in the DMSM (Degenerate MSM) do *not* get to tell us what we can/should/will tolerate any more.

You do not do your jobs. You are not capable of doing your jobs. You can not even competently describe your job’s purpose. There are only two types of personnel in the DMSM anymore:
1. Liars.
2. Idiots.

Sit down. Shut up or the portion of our pop that is now questioning why y’all should be suffered to live among us will continue to grow. It will suck to be you once that portion of the pop reaches critical mass.

There is zero justification for NPR to exist. It would not be missed if it were defunded. Dems would howl, but so what, it is just another propaganda machine for the Dems.

If they did not defend FOX, then they have no leg to stand upon.

If you had ACTUALLY done your jobs during the Obama administration, you all might not be so vilified right now.

If you were doing your job CORRECTLY there would be no problem

But you are paid propagandists for big government and the democrat party.

Why is it libtards cannot go 10 minutes without talking about their “rights”

You certain have a “right” to do the job someone hired you to do, but you don’t have the right to force me to pay for it.

Citizens depend on independent journalists to give them information needed to hold our leaders to account.

It would be nice if NPR knew the differences among journalists, propagandists, and moles. They also should take a look at showing a little respect and deference to the target of their "journalism."

Is it fair for a "journalist" to elbow his way to the front of the line? Is it fair for a "journalist" to repeatedly shout out his questions to the detriment of his companions and competition? Does the person being interviewed have any leeway to select the next questioner?

Does NPR have any real journalists, or just leftists? When is NPR going to start practicing unbiased fair work?

That's right. We should remember that if they ever start doing their jobs.

“For doing their jobs...”

You mean pushing the shadow gov’t, liberal, hate America narrative that you’ve been doing for the past 60 years or so?

You so nailed it, and got the timeframe right too.
