NPR Lies to Donors: We Offer 'Unbiased Journalism' With 'Accuracy' and 'Civility'
Newsbusters ^ | December 29, 2016 | Tim Graham

Posted on 12/30/2016 4:11:50 AM PST by kevcol

NPR fans received an e-mail with the subject line "Bold, unbiased journalism." That's pretty funny coming from a network that puts a loving touch on Barack Obama in interviews and never secured an interview with Donald Trump.

Dear Friend,

As I said on the radio the other day,* journalism is at the heart of who we are at NPR. Facts matter. We strongly believe in and follow the core journalism values of accuracy, fairmindedness, integrity and independence.

We are the public’s media. That is, we work for you....

Did they hire Ben Rhoades, Obama’s fiction writer to write this $hit?

NPR and PBS need to be totally defunded.

These are Democrat media organs, started in the FDR era 80 years ago.

Let the Lefties open their wallets and pay for this.

Same goes for Planned Parenthood as well.

At the very minimum, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s nonprofit tax status should be reviewed and changed. Liberal bias in itself is a profit of ideology IMO.

Further, if the government insists on funding NPR in any amount, an equal amount must be given to all venues similarly operating.

Outstanding opportunity to zero out funding for public broadcasting.

I think it has Jonathan Gruber’s fingerprints on it. After all, he is so adept at fooling stupid Americans. But it could indeed, just as easily be the work of Ben Rhodes. Obama’s legacy is picking people who have no problem lying to the gullible easy marks among us.

Actually, they are unbiased. I once worked for a leftist infested outfit, of which many listened to NPR. What I learned, to them, the crap they listen to and read (such as the NY Times), is the gospel. It is the truth.

So yes, in the leftist bubble, which includes NPR, they are the speakers of the truth.

Fake news is the standard of the left.

NPR is a cest pool of quaint utopian liberal fascists who have the ability to morph from a “civil” human being into raging vampires.They are part of the university lefts indoctrination system.

I want Congress to de-fund them. And so does most of America.

Let their little liberal millionaires fund them from their Freemen and Rockefeller Foundations.They need a very large dose of humble pie.

At one time, the merchandising from Sesame Street ALONE would have handsomely funded PBS.

The Bubble People are oh so smart and oh so sophisticated and oh so NPR. Their glittering ivory towers are untrammeled by rough and ready Trump warriors, yet.

I wonder,since the government subsides them can Trump replace all of those in charge? Now that would make it a worthwhile investment. 8>)

Hard to imagine that anyone that has listened to NPR more then a couple of times thinks they do not lean heavily to the left!
