Yeah right. They employ Terry Gross.
Concerned, my ever expanding, luminous when bare azzzzzzzzzzz....
Okay then. They are concerned.
Conversation over.
Soros has given tons of money to more than 30 news outlets including NBC, CBS, ABC, CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR and so on.
And since these entities are suffering some of the worst ratings in their histories, is Soros just throwing his money away.
Also, would these so called donations be considered more of bribes than donations.
They should be deeply concerned about the rise of the new media. Sites like Michigan Capitol Confidential strike fear in the hearts of democrats, unions, and universities here in Michigan. All they do is simple straightforward investigative reporting without bias and the left panics.
The NPR Newsroom’s deep concern is probably akin to the UN Security Council issuing a strongly worded resolution... I-O-W: rather meaningless.
We’re deeply concerned but keep those paychecks coming

ROTFL!
Election year coming up so cue the Crocodile Tears.

Juan Williams Wins Freedom of Speech Award
Fox News Channel political analyst Juan Williams is the 2011 winner of the Freedom of Speech Award bestowed annually by Talkers magazine.
Williams was fired as NPR’s senior news correspondent in October over comments he made that were judged offensive to Muslims. He said that he was often nervous when boarding a plane with people dressed in “Muslim garb.”
He was quickly hired as a Fox News correspondent.
“Williams’ high profile termination from NPR to landing a new deal at Fox stirred up productive debate and discussion of the roles free speech, bias, partisanship, ethics and hypocrisy play in the news media,” according to Talkers, the bible of the talk media world.
Williams will receive the Freedom of Speech Award at Talkers’ New Media Seminar in New York City on June 11.
In an exclusive interview with Talkers, Williams said: “When this situation with NPR first came up, I was so afraid because they have the big megaphone, obviously, they are a broadcaster. And they also have a fabulous brand that’s widely respected.
“I thought, ‘These people are attacking me, they have just fired me.’ Subsequently there were suggestions that I was a bigot, that I needed psychiatric care, and all the rest.
“I was so fearful that . . . I would be maligned and marginalized by this effort and my career would be ruined.
“In the midst of this, Roger Ailes, who runs Fox, said to me, ‘The conservatives will defend you because they don’t like being called bigots, either.’”
Trying to clean up the house before the landlord notices how dirty it is
They look at this as ammo for conservatives to make the case that really are biased and a shill for liberals, which they are
I’m sure they’ll get over it when people stop paying attention.
Not appalled enough to quit in protest. Not appalled enough to request the issue be covered by a radio show - - somewhere... ah, maybe NPR...
Concerned they got caught.
Bull. They are less than thrilled that they’ve been outted as to having taken Soros money. They’re just upset they got caught. Don’t hold your breath for them to return any of Georgy’s $$$.
