Well, that leaves six of George Carlins words...

Krauthammer just playing the game waiting to go after Palin in his next breath.
Sorry folks but tough talk on NPR will not save this nation just a diversion I would have thought people would have figured that out by now.

Prepare to be shocked, for Washington Post columnist Colby King actually agreed with Krauthammer:

COLBY KING, WASHINGTON POST: I think NPR ought to take that initiative and say we do not want the subsidy.

They tell us cigarettes cause cancer, hamburgers cause heart attcks, SUVs cause global warming - but they are unbiased and nonpartisan.

They need to constantly brag about how smart they are orr they would all forget.......

I have a couple of NPR shows that I listen to occasionally, one being Car Talk, and the other is Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

The host of WWDTM, Peter Segal, is fairly even-handed in his ridicule of politicians. He started off the show today by saying how much he loved the Tea Party...how smart and attractive they were...it was very funny.

My memory may be rusty on this, but I recall nina reporting from the floor of the ‘96 democrat convention. When clintoon finished his acceptance speech, the balloons came down, and nina was howling an orgasmic “woo woo woo!”.

I was so embarrassed for her and npr/pbs.

—Rural NPR stations might go under without fed subsidies? There are other ways to get NPR programming—off the comp. Via satellite radio, etc. And if people really want it, PAY for it...VOLUNTARILY. But not through a mandatory tax.

—I saw allow the FCC to let them go commercial. What’s wrong with Car Talk, brought to you by Sears Auto Centers? Some of their donorships sound like ads as it is.

—Air America flopped because libs who wanted to hear it could get their views via NPR...on 50,000 watt FM blowtorches (or
more: Boston’s WGBH is 100,000 watts!) without commercial interruption. Why would people want to hear the same views on a scratchy AM station? And they could laugh at the fact that conservatives through tax money were subsidizing lib leaning shows. Stale Air With Terri Gross Me Out (credit:

Immediately defund it, revoke the use of the name “National Public Radio,” and cut it loose, and then let’s get back to the real issues - the massive federal debt caused by entitlements and the usurpation of our liberties.

“KRAUTHAMMER: We got a market in the country. We have thousands of stations.”

Really? Thousands??

Wait a minute ... wait a goll darn minute!

Let's think this through before we go and get all goosey about cutting funding for government TV and radio.

First, “we the people” are supposed to own government TV and radio. That means we own the equipment, offices, translators, and all the other stuff like cars, trucks, etc.

“We the people” are not just going to give this massive investment away ... instead the proper course would be to sell the assets.

Now whether to piece meal it or sell it as a whole, that needs a proper study. I can imagine there is benefit to selling whole, but just giving it to the people who operate it right now is not an option. They will have the opportunity to bid on the assets just like everybody else. I further suggest that all proceeds be soley used to help pay down the out-of-control national debt.

As this “de-funding” debate goes on its merry course, I encourage you to make these points that the assets should be properly disposed.

I personally enjoy some PBS programming, but anybody who thinks that the news portions of PBS aren’t liberal is a frickin fool.

When has Frontline ever gone after a liberal or liberal corruption?

And NPR might as well be publicly financed Air America.

I sometimes listen to NPR in the car and it takes a lot for me to muster the patience to listen to 10 minutes of that Marxist drivel.

Conversely, if the federal government was financing conservative talk radio, the liberals would be screaming to cut it off. In fact, it would have been cut off a long time ago.

Defund NPR.

Take NPR’s non-profit status from them.

NPR is a political organization and should not have tax deductible status for its donors.

I remember Nina Totenberg and how she lynched Clarence Thomas at his hearings.
