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....

Kind of like Lindsey Graham’s “I’m the CONSERVATIVE choice” election ads.

“Defund NPR.”

Since Reagan, defunding NPR has been fool’s gold. A bright and shiny idea but for some reason never ever very high on Republican priorities. (Can’t kill Big Bird!)

With Trump it’s a brave new world. All things seem possible.

Just poking fun. I do the same from time to time.

NPR is generally civil, but its reporting is hardly unbiased or accurate.

Sorry, but I disagree.. We cannot become like the liberals, and only listen to what we want to hear. NPR actually does some reporting on things that often are outside the mainstream, and while it clearly is liberally slanted it is not an MSNBC which is an absolute waste of bandwidth.

There is little doubt that Liberals drove their party into the ground because they drove out anyone who held a viewpoint that they didn’t want to hear. There are no more blue dogs in the party, because they were driven out by the leadership and that my friends is the real reason they are set up for failure for the next 20 years, assuming the republicans don’t do anything stupid.

We can’t find ourselves doing the same thing. I watch Frontline, I listen to NPR, I watch NOVA, and even manage to occasionally sit through an independent lens (though that’s almost impossible to do).. Among other things... Not because I agree with the obvious political slant they can/often/always take depending on the show... but because of it. I recognize it, and don’t fall for it, but it helps me see where they are coming from, and how they are using their world view to color events.

We cannot simply tune out things we don’t want to hear, if we do, we will be the ones sitting stunned at sometime in the future asking “how did that happen”

Let them have their frequencies and tax exempt status, but end the subsidies and allow some other “public” broadcasting outlets.

I would like to see him face a class action suit started by all those who were adversely affected by his lies to sell the ACA. His own words would hang him. It would be fitting for him to be broken like a twig, financially, by a sumo wrestler taking a stroll in the woods. 8>)

I don’t blanket all of public broadcasting with such a broad brush.

There are parts of it, particularly in very rural parts of the country where it serves a vital public need.

However I do have no issues pulling the plug on parts of it.

Don’t be sorry. I feel it should be shut down. If the programming is worth anything, allow the free market to deal with it.
