As much as I despise this man... and he is pandering... he is also right on this subject. Kudos to huckster.

When will Huckawannabe call on the Governor’s to discontinue releasing dangerous criminals from prison, allowing them to commit additional crimes of violence, including the cold blooded murders of 4 cops?

[ Juan Williams has a VERY good Wrongful Termination lawsuit. For a company to fire you because you express an opinion without using company property to do so, is a possible violation of one’s First Amendment right, and is certainly an legally actionable affair. ]

He should call the ACLU, I’ll bet they will help him......

If they don’t someplace like the Cato Institute or the Hertitage foundation should help him out just to poke the libs in the eye.

This Reminds me of the Burt Lancaster movie Elmer Huckaby or something like that..
Huckaby is the republican flim flam man..

Both Williams and Huckaby are liberals.. but the Huckster is a MOLE..

"NPR says federal funding comprises less than 2 percent of its budget..."

If it's really less than 2 percent, then I'm sure they won't miss it much when it's slashed...

Slashed? How about eliminated?

Also remove the tax exeption for contributions. Let's see how well it fundraising goes then.

And the libs still insist the government should regulate “fairness” in talk radio, too. I point out, OK, you want fairness,
I want equal time for conservatives on (public) NPR and PBS.
I want to have as many (private) cable channels leaning right to make up for all the ones who lean left. How about four or five different Fox News Channels, libs?

Fair is fair. Fairness for them means OUR voices are
silenced. (And in reality, if the FD came about, and it IS
unconstitutional, radio owners would have to dump talk radio formats because IF they had to offer equal time to
Air America-like shows, their ratings would plummet and it would make more sense to go to music instead. BUT if anything, the threat of a music performance tax means talk radio could
mean MORE talk radio.

And stations want to make a profit. Thus, conservative talk
radio dominates—and it IS counter-programmed by...NPR!
So if you want lefty views, go there. _I just don’t want to pay for that_. My premise is simple: in the free market,
what works, works. If Rush and Hannity get huge ratings, and Ed Schultz doesn’t, fine. Merit and demand works in
the free market. But THEY want enforced “fairness”. Wrong.

I think we should absolutely demand equal access on public TV and radio. I’m also concerned at the number of free “Public Service Announcements” that are transparently leftist agitprop.

Leftists have turned NPR, PBS and other outlets into one big anti-American propaganda machine. We demand propaganda parity now!
