New NPR Chief’s Past Political Donations Solely to Democrats
Eyeblast TV ( Media Research Center) ^ | 3/11/2011 | Joe Schoffstall

Now that Vivian Schiller is out as NPR’s chief, Joyce Slocum was named to NPR’s top post on Wednesday. However, her past political donations are bound to add more fuel to the fire.

According to OpenSecrets:

Joyce Slocum, National Public Radio’s new interim chief executive, has made five federal-level political contributions of more than $500, all to Democrats, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of campaign disclosures shows.

The Center’s research indicates that between 1999 and 2002, Slocum spread about $3,500 between Democratic U.S. House candidate Regina Montoya Coggins and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Ron Kirk, who today serves as President Barack Obama’s chief trade representative.

Most p[eople who give campaign funds to sway public policy give those funds to Democrats, because they can be bought cheaper.

I am afraid that no matter who they appoint they will face the same problem because who else would want to run such a pro-Dem network.

Another white liberal? Really?

Where's the diversity? Where's the rainbow?
Why is it the left looks like Vermont instead of America?

It's OK, because the only funds that NPR will be getting in the future will be from demonRATS, not taxes.

Defund NPR.

Defund Obamacare.

Defund The National Endowment for the Arts.

Defund Planned Parenthood.

Defund ACORN.

Defund the UN and resign from it.

Stop sending billions of dollars in foreign aid overseas to countries whose peoples hate the US.

Eliminate the entire Department of Education and transfer its power to the individual states.

Defund the EPA and the Department of Energy unless they agree to more drilling on US soil and lease more nuclear power plants and build more oil refineries.

I would like know who the board members of NPR are and what political party they have donated to.

She has no bias, she just knows that Democrats are factually the best choice to run the country. It's very obvious and she's never met anybody who felt otherwise.

If that's biased, then I guess everybody's biased!

They should be required to hire a Jewish black lesbian in a wheel chair.

Everybody wears colorful knit hats and the chicks don't shave their pits.

Permit me to add one to your great list...

Defund the BLM unless it agrees to sell virtually all of it's properties which are not part of Congressionally designated national parks or historical monuments, and let the people of America take back the Western lands that are theirs to make productive.
