And George Soros ought to have to pay the taxpayers back for the assets he is attempting to seize.
We could save a lot of money cutting off the very left wing NPR.
Aren’t there all kinds of laws about the government promoting political causes?
Not in Obamaland I guess....
Islamists are more important to the Leftist agenda than black people. Blacks are no longer the minority of preference. Simple. Why doesn’t anyone in the media point this out?
Anything George Soros dirty, hairy fingers is in in America should be abolished.
Rush said a few minutes ago that Brent Bozell is calling for a Congressional Investigation on Soros donating money to NPR.
First, NPR needs to have its non-profit status and broadcasting licenses revoked. Then it needs to be defunded by congress. Then they can go try to compete with commercial stations for the right to broadcast on the air. Or they can start up a satellite radio channel and see if anyone bothers to listen to it.
Ahhh . . . chickens . . . coming home to roost?
Most funding for public broadcasting is no longer from taxes. Abolishing public broadcasting should involve rescinding the licenses and holding new competitive awards.
It serves no valid purpose with the modern electronic media except more government jobs.
On the other hand since it made it though the 5-6 years of Republican control 2001-2006, there is no chance it is going away under Obama. Nice to dream though.
Name aside, NPR is not a government agency and it never has been so the government can’t shut it down. All it can do is deny it any federal grand money which, depending on who you talk to, comes to between 1 percent and 10 percent of its budget. Most if its money comes from state and local governments, charitable foundations, corporations, and private individuals.
NPR, like many other liberal ideas that held so much promise when they first started, has turned into a huge disappointment.
My favorite political writer, George Orwell, stressed the need for honesty in reporting facts - so what does NPR do? - fires one of their own for having the courage to speak his mind.
How utterly disgusting.
In his day, Orwell, a democratic socialist, was especially hard on the liberals and similar sorts of his time, calling them dishonest, and evasive or avoiding hard issues all together.
Were he alive today, his keyboard would be aglow from all the scorching words he’d be hurling at the leftists.
“IF PBS DIDN’T DO IT, WHO WOULD?”
Um, all of the studios that produce the rock and roll/blues/Americana music documentaries that are already available on home video DVD by the time they air on PBS during fundraising weeks...
Does anyone but the moon-battiest of moon bats take them seriously as a news source?
There was nothing to get fired over, but they could have avoided the problem by saying radical Muslims IMO.
Of course we all know that represents 95% of them IMO.
Anything presenting itself as news should be pulled from NPR.
On the interview shows, if you have a liberal, they should counter time with a conservative. This IS PUBLIC FUNDS.
Los Angeles is dropping PBS programming, already gave notice.current
Well that explains it. They HAD to fire him. Ninety-eight percent of their audience was angry at him.
;-)
Besides public broadcasting’s political bent (clearly slanted left), it’s anachronistic. With a plethora of cable and satellite programming, there’s simply no need for it. Even without broaching the political issue, it should come to an end as a fiscal measure.
