Now would be a good time.
Where does most of their federal funding come from? It helps to know where their Achille's heel is.
Dont wait for Bush to lead the parade against NPR.
I was just watching Fox's Sunday show and realized that the two conservative commentators held real jobs; the liberals were on the public dole (NPR). Hmmm, indeed.
I agree. ANWAR is the solution. We should also defund attempts by people to live in desert and draw water from its natural places. That would make San Bernardino drier than it is today, wouldn't it?
20 years ago would have been fine with me. Since that hasn't happened NOW would be a great time to do it!
The fact that it won't be defunded is proof the elected Republicans are mostly gutless weinies.
There are a whole lot of publicly funded organizations that need to go. PBS, NPR, and the NAACP are but a few.
It's no better here in Vermont. I used to listen to NPR for the sake of the classical music. But there's no classical music left. It's all left-wing talk shows and third-rate jazz, and third rate anti-Bush jokes on Prairie Home Companion.
I've always liked good jazz, but I'm beginning to hate the very sound of the stuff they try to shove down listeners' throats, no doubt because they think it's politically correct. What ever happened to Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane? Whatever happened to Mozart, Bach, Hayden, and those guys?
The ONLY excuse for public radio was that it was educational--that it broadcast stuff that was good for people and that wasn't commercially feasible. Whatever happened to nonpolitical discussions on informative subjects? History, geography, philosophy, art, cooking, almost anything but POLITICS ALL THE TIME.
Now it's nothing but POLITICS ALL THE TIME.

NPR and Federal involvement in public education seem to share the attribute of "should be wiped out, but won't be."
Oh, but they were so hawkish when Clinton was bombing Serbia. Killing white Christians is so cool, so not racist,they can clap each other on the shoulder and congratulate on how liberal and progressive they are.. You are right, they make me vomit too.
I used to be against NPR, but I've realized that it keeps the Left in their fantasyland. If they had to venture out into the private sector they might learn to be more effective. Why take their kool-aid away from them? It's not like any swing voters listen to that biased junk. We still want to have NPR and a few other liberal institutions to kick around for awhile. Better strategery to let them all have ether kumbaya sessions.
DEATH TO NPR
NPR needs balance. Let's shove it down their throats or else . . . .
In my wildest dreams we will defund them, God that would be nice.
